Yamaha QX-1 midi data sequencer HxC function demo

Published on Jul 22, 2013 TheSynthFreq·199 videos

"Hi everyone! Here is a new video of an amazing device (HxC) used to take the place of the 5 1/4 floppy disk drive of the Yamaha QX-1 sequencer. The Yamaha QX-1 sequencer is about 16lbs, steel construction, full keyboard data entry controls (that make all those lovely vintage key sounds we all love to hear!) , 8 midi outputs, one midi in and one midi thru. Did I mention you can travel back to the 80s with this thing?? hehehe its in the secret menus. :)

Contents: QX-1 FDD construction and design, Common age related problems with the FDD HxC power up and demo of loading procedure (moving through songs) HxC and QX-1 internal interface connections and hardware view

Please enjoy :)
Important:
I'd like to personally thank Dav.R.Bailey for the awesome and wonderful HxC unit and Jim Atwood for his video on the QX-1 and HxC demonstration and technical support with Dav.R.Bailey. Thanks so much to you both for the much appreciated assistance in bringing QX-1 back to life. The install was a success. :)"

via Retro Synth Ads where you'll find the write-up.

"Boss DR-110 Dr. Rhythm Graphic drum machine 'A sound Innovator' four-page colour brochure from December 1983."

Note the above image is the inside of the brochure. The cover is much brighter.

Inside a Kawai R100 & the Drumware Inc. Soundswitcher

Some pics in via GrantB of the Music Technologies Group Blog. Click here or here for what an R100 looks like on the outside. There have only been two previous posts on the Kawai R100 Drum Machine and only two on Drumware, one featuring an Oberheim DX Drum Machine, and one a Sequential Circuits Drumtraks.

"Here are some photos of the ROM switcher board in my Kawai R-100 Drum machine. The expansion board is dated 1987. My unit contains three 4Mbit mask ROMs:

MN234000KAA, MN234000KAB, MN234000KAC

I think these ROMs are the original R100 and R50 and the R50e judging by what I’ve read elsewhere on the web. The sound format is 12-bit (non-linear) with a 32kHz sample rate."
