"Another 'work in progress'. 20 Rom Scrambling mods, which provide industrial Glitch for the drums & synth.

Still plenty more work to do, later mods will be posted as a video response.

I brought this machine because I needed a decent hardware sequencer. . . . Sadly Yamah (Multi-million doller international company) chose to ship these machines with a DODGY Operating System!!! This makes the machine essentially useless in a Midi enviroment........ What a bunch of cunts.

Now they want me to pay 69 uk pounds just to get functioning O.S. roms!!!!
They say they'll refund the cash, when the original roms are returned, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT..... There's no excuse for a big company like Yamah to piss all over the little guy. If the machine wasn't working in the first place then they shouldn't have sold it. It's a fucking disgrace and I'll never buy a modern Yamaha again.

"The fret board is 72 optically isolated switches. The fret board, instead of frets has 6 brass contacts per fret. When the string is pushed down to the contact, it makes a connection.

From there the signal is optically isolated, to protect from EMF and sent to a micro controller thats only job is to priority encode the fretboard, and keep tabs on which string is pushed down to each fret.

So priority encoding means this basically: if you are playing the 6th string on the 12th fret, then the computer ignores if say the 11th and 10th frets are pressed on that string also, since the 12th fret needs to take priority - just like a real guitar..."
