Hello,
So, I have a Kawai XD-5 with individual outs. The sequence is currently programmed on a Roland TR-505, after the guitar intro, I use a foot pedal to start the drum track. (I use the sampled drum pattern and then overdub real cymbals on open tracks). It would be easier to run the sequence...
The recommended mods upgrade the VCA -although the stock pre-trimmed VCA specs, vs the stock VCA aren't that much better, but using a newer trimmable VCA requires replacing resisters and calibration of the trim. I think you need a distortion analyzer to do that. They also recommend upgrades to...
I stripped the internal power supply in the 3630 in favor of outboard supply. It's a generic China board, and was pre-built with stout diodes, good heatsinks, and those diodes. The internal supply on the 3630 seemed dodgy
Hi. Thanks for replying. It turned out to be a faulty connector on the power cable. Not sure why that was creating the -15v backfeed, but it works now.
As for the external supply, one of the mods recommends upgrading some of the PSU parts, and the heatsinks on the regulators are a bit dodgy. So...
I did the gate disconnect and socketed VCA mod to an Alesis 3630. I decided to just power it from an external PSU and removed all the power supply components and wired +/- 15VDC to a 3 conductor plug to the +15v, -15v, 0v where the regulators would have been. For some reason I thought this would...
FedEx says next Monday. The more I look it reminds me a little of the verdigris the greenish goober that would get on toilets on ships. They’re salt water. Thing is coming from Texas. Shipping was a bitch but I’d rather it get here in one piece. I personally shipped my own from LA. (One of the...
So I picked up an MSR-16 as a parts deck. Price was so-so but a trade off. The seller had a video and most functions seemed to work motors, capstan, etc. But there’s rust and corrosion in some of the metal parts and the head stack has some weird corrosion. Sellers photo. I’d like a working or...
There's a thread or two at Tapeheads.net that claim Burlington tape is re-branded Capture and confirmed from a user who says he's the owner of Splicit. no reason to doubt that. Burlington doesn't have published (or didn't last time i checked) spec sheets for their inhouse brand tape which...
There is (or was) a seller on eBay from Europe selling calibration tapes. Also, JRF is a dealer for MRL, I wonder if they might buy the stock and/or equipment.
i still have a turntable.... A friend of mine asked me if I had a cassette deck as she wanted to digitize a show she did on KUSF back in 80s. I said, "do you really have to ask?" It's not "if" but "how many!" (Actually I only have one, but...)
I used to have one of those DATA I/O boxes. I bought at an electronics "garage sale" and then sold it to the same guy I bought one of the interchangeable socket attachments from. I used it to program a small prom on an XT motherboard so it could access 1MB of RAM. The XT boards had that chip...
Want to update the firmware on a couple of Kawai synths. 27C512 EPROMs are currently out of stock at the usual places. I may have found some PROMs. Amazon has EEPROMs available. (Assuming they're not counterfeit but it seems a safish bet. ) I'm not that savvy on this kind of thing. The...
