Well, I just bit the bullet and decided to pick up a Microlynx + Controller Keyboard, an Alesis AI-2, and a service manual for the AI-2 off of the fleabay, so we'll see in a week or so what can be gleaned from some hands-on cross-examination of the suspects, er...subjects. :) Of course no...

Well, for many of them, the cable part number and drawing number do not match. Some evidence I just noticed has to do with mr. N.F. changing the way the drawing numbers are utilized or generated. The files (finally renamed properly in my scheme above) for the "Sony VD-5850 A.pdf" vs. "Sony...

Sorry about the formatting folks, that last list sucks. Any tips miroslav to getting that nice scrollable block of attachments? - edit: finally got it looking legible at least.

A modest gift in return for the community OK, thanks once again miroslav, and the least I can do is re-title some of your gift of the PDF's so that we won't have to open every file to at least know a little of their contents. My sleuthing sense is getting heightened by what the files do, or do...

So, timkroeger, just a quick note (as well for those of us who may be attempting to follow your fabulous work and replicate it): I believe you may have put a typo/misprint in your original post that I thought I should clarify. The aforementioned Omron parts are indeed (as verified by links to...

Thank you once again miroslav! I had just last night spent many hours studying and comparing the (then) available schemos for possible clues to the evolution of the Lynx 2 and hopefully more about the Microlynx. I was just about ready to come back and ask you for any more available data on the...

Yes, thanks for the tip miroslav. Actually, it was the reference to the cable in the Microlynx manual that got me wondering about slaving all the decks from a single source. I have an ADAT BRC already, and as I mentioned a Tascam MTS-1000 Midiizer, but sadly neither of these units will connect...

Better later than never, as the historical importance of these earlier forum threads (and the units they supported) shouldn't be relegated to the rubbish bin. As far as old technologies are concerned, yes- it's possible that an EPROM could go bad with age, certainly older backup batteries can...

Yup, I get your concerns regarding the sage advice of warning the "young'uns" to keep to the path. I often must remind myself of what the goal actually is with all this music tech stuff. Luckily, I grew up in an era wherein there was a vast resource of knowledge about electronics amongst the...

Thanks miroslav for the comprehensive reply, and the fine-grained look at the evolution of your workflow! Really, it's rare to see folks mentioning their creative process to such a degree, and this goes a long way towards dissolving the assumptions which are often mistakenly applied in such...

And once again thank you folks for the initial postings, and thank heaven for your being a "digital packrat" miroslav, it's truly amazing how fragile the streams of information and experience actually are, even in a time of such ubiquitous digital "superiority".

miroslav - Thanks for trying on the AI-2 cable schemo, you've been a great help already. As to why I would bother with ADAT- Five things come to mind: 1. I need an ability to have working in situ backups of sessions, without using a parallel DAW. 2. I also need to be able to increase my track...

timkroeger - Sorry I didn't catch that you had tried other combinations of working/non-working arrangements , and that you had properly assessed that the fault was in the System Unit. Thanks so much for the info folks, and thanks to sweetbeats for chiming in to confirm that an Ethernet cable...

Pardon my temporary thread domination for a moment folks, but: @ timkroeger- I presume that you swapped the keyboard unit between your two Microlynx systems, or did you keep them separate after you discovered the error codes/strange behavior? There might be a safe way to troubleshoot your...

miroslav- earlier in the thread you posted: "Also...with the Otari, the audio is Pin 3 Hot....so, when I did the SMPTE track (CH-24) hook up back to the ML...I used the standard Pin 2 Hot configuration on the connectors....and the ML would not read the TC off the track. Unlike pure audio, even...

Thanks bunches, miroslav, and check the thread you linked for my continued responses.

Fabulous work folks! That was just perfect information flow, and thanks especially to miroslav for the PDF's, and to timkroeger for pointing out the callout in 70D094 for the MSR-16. I think the applicable drawing for the MX5050 I have is the one titled "OtariMX5050_34Pin.PDF", and thank you...

Bump so I can get notified of replies properly.

58 months late to the party! Hey folks, any of you have access to cable schemo's for the microlynx? All resources I've checked have dead links and I'm trying to sync the following: Tascam MSR-16, Otari MX5050 MKIII-8 (later revision with 50 pin and 34 pin blue Honda connectors), a DAW. Thanks...

Anybody have the original schemo's/pinouts for cables for the Microlynx? I'm attempting to sync up a Tascam MSR-16, and an Otari MX5050 MKIII-8 (the last revision with the 50 pin and 34 pin blue Honda connectors), and am having no luck finding documentation online. The first thread of this basic...
