In other words, the Galaxy Synth, long and loyally has she served, is no longer synthing anything on the outward bound side. Everything else seemingly works ok ... but it's impossible to hear.
The Galaxy Synth is now disconnected and it became an outbound thing since it will go to the sidewalk in the morning. It would be more expensive to fix than it's worth but someone else is welcome to give it a try.
The Galaxy Synth is a Korg TR Workstation which is a medium hefty synth with seventy-three keys and a huge array of built-in sound samples. It also had an arpeggiator which could be fascinating and as twisted in its way as echoes. The answer is to echo the arpeggiation and that got ultra twisted which was highly satisfying.
The synth originally listed for about $1400 and the age is unknown but I got it used almost nine years ago.
The most similar current model of the TR Workstation is the Krome 73 below. This one lists for about $1250 but I've seen it listed for $1000 at B&H Photo.
The Krome 73 is almost button-for-button identical to the TR Workstation.
Musician's Friend: Korg Krome 73 Keyboard Workstation
It seems a first order disaster but possibly not so much since take a look at this Ensoniq.
Craig's List: Ensoniq KS32 Weighted-action MIDI Studio synthesizer workstation i - $350 (Dallas)
That's a nice large keyboard and good action on the keys plus it should have great sound samples as well. This may well be a peach of a replacement and it's still too expensive but the cost isn't a complete flaming catastrophe.
Then there was suddenly a Rockhouse Hare-Brained Idea!
What if I take the Phones output from the TR Workstation and use that as the primary output. The Phones must be on a different circuit since I know they work. The quality of the Phones port relative to the primary port may not be that much different and this just might work. I've got to at least haul it back in here to try it.
For $350 versus a lift and a drop to get it back here, I'll be retrieving the Galaxy Synth.
Franco is still dead but the Galaxy Synth may not have gasped her last.
