Slave 2 Yamaha TX16W

Bought a TX16 last week, during some of my searches for Info on it, I vaguely remember seeing about slaving 2 units together thru the 422 port, anyone try this, I have a chance to get another one, which I'm going to get either way .

Never heard of it. Seems kind of redundant, unless you had to have a stereo voice with more than 8 notes of polyphony.

It was just a curious question, I might try it, what's the worse that could happen....

If you're using Typhoon 2000, which you should, nothing will happen because it doesn't support the port.

Don't waste your time with the Yamaha OS make sure you get a copy of Typhoon, ( http://nuedge.net/typhoon2000/Typhoon2000.htm ) it offers a lot more functions like time stretching file compression so you have more space and actual Dynamic voice allocation. They even tweek the filter as much as they could. Typhoon 2000, a freeware OS provides much easier handling, support for RS422 (you can connect it directly to the built-in MIDI interface of a Mac for SCSI-like communication), 17 factory filters and support for the AIFF audio format. Typhoon is a must have to stay healthy while working with this sampler.

The New Typhoon OS does support the port. You can connect it directly to the built-in MIDI interface of a Mac for SCSI-like communication

Yes but only if you have a pre USB Mac i.e. from 1999 or earlier. To correct my earlier mistake, Typhoon v 1.0 manual states MIDI is supported on the port, and it can be used for faster MIDI SDS. So it still won't work for expanding polyphony. I always thought the SDS was redundant because Typhoon supports AIFF and uses MS-DOS format discs. By far the fastest and most convenient way to work with a computer. Maybe if you want to dump from another sampler the SDS would be useful. I didn't see the pinouts in the manual though?

Pinout according to ISO 4903, signals are balanced, always a pair:

Great, what about the Mac end?

I've been searching the web for the video I saw where these two German guys in their broken English were talking about doing this, If I remember the guy said that would he would do is use Typoon to record samples with but He would use the Yamaha OS to play back the slaved units , the idea was not to play back in stereo, but to play a sample and it's modified version at the same time,
kind of mute point right now, I didn't get the 2nd TX16W, but I am looking for a 2nd
