about programming the Mod Matrix. I inspected the Sysex strings using MIDI OX and I see that you always have to send a group of 3 values (source, amount destination) within every single Sysex string That's the only way I know of to change Mod Matrix values. Or is there a workaround using several ch...

Just a question though. Is the editor able to recognize SYSEX strings coming at its Input MIDI and adjust sliders on-screen accordingly? I've tried that but it doesn't seem to work. I assume you mean recognize SYSEX strings coming from some separate hardware MIDI controller? No, that's not currentl...

I have just released the M1000 Manager, a modern looking, intuitive patch editor for the Oberheim Matrix-1000, for Windows and Linux. The M1000 Manager is free of charge but donations are appreciated if you find the M1000 Manager useful. The M1000 Manager has been optimized to reduce MIDI data traff...

My guess is that sales have dwindled since the JD-Xi came out as the JD-Xi raised the bar with 4 parts multi-timbrality and 129 voices. Maybe Novation will bring out a successor that can compete with the JD-Xi? That would be something to look forward to, they could integrate a cut down version of th...

Thanks for summarizing the changes, it's much clearer to me now what you did.

Could you please rephrase your last post for laymen?
Which components (a picture would be very helpful) need to be replaced with which ones to get better output on the SY/TG77?
Thanks in advance.

When you google "morphedit" this link comes up as the first result:

Good job, I wish I had your soldering skills, as I have many electronic devices that need repairing (not just synths).

You need a patch librarian program for the D50.

I don't own a D50 so can't help you further but maybe googling 'Roland D50 librarian' will help you find the software you need.

Most likely leaked caps in the output section. Korg synths from that period are well known for that. Check also the underside of the board.

It's usually cheap power supplies that kill motherboards (with power spikes and unstable voltages). If you want a PC to live long then buy a good power supply for it. From my experience Seasonic power supplies are the most stable ones available for PCs and it's not just me saying this, plenty review...

Or even better make Sonar opensource, i.e. publish the full source code on github, so that it will become a free community developed DAW.

Roland PCM cards (at least the ones for the JV series) are physically incompatible, they are much shorter and have a different connector so there is no way you can use to existing card as a PCM card.
Also how would you copy anything on it?

Congratulations, I know very well how hard it is to follow through such a project up to the end, it's always far more work than envisioned initially, but you made it!

This is the sound it makes when it is turned off. Anyone else have that sound? Turn Off Sound That's normal, mine does that too and has always done that in the 20 years I have owned it. Trouble is, they are $60 each right now. They are still $24 here: http://www.maad.net/ms6/ I have bought from the...
