Flipperwaldt posted:If you can get it fixed under warranty, definitely do. You'd be cheating yourself out of a big chunk of the re-sale value if you didn't. Great news. I called Moog and talked with Nick in the tech department. Dude couldn't be nicer. He said I could ship it back to them at no charge, or he could ship the offending key to me and to walk me through it, which is super awesome and ideal. He even said if it comes on a saturday and he's not in work, I could call his cell. Obviously my main concern is not loving up my warranty incase something else shows up down the line. My friend has told me nightmare stories of trying to tech support stuff over the phone with people. I assured him that I'd taken apart my ensoniq to replace the battery so it shouldn't be like leading a blind person by flashlight. He told me about an ensoniq he was working on getting fixed for a friend and got excited when I told him that a local shop had like six broken esq-1s. He cursed in excitement before asking what the shop's name was. Great guy. drat is this what customer service is??? Blown away. I'm used to getting bored, rehearsed, patronization. Definitely got me hooked on this poo poo. Now about a moogerfooger... are the delays really 800 dollars good? Or is that just the moog premium?

Moogerfooger delays are good, but not worth their full price tag unless you've got spare cash to burn. And synthesists never have spare cash to burn.

If you want a fully featured delay pedal with lots of CV control I look into the Koma BD101 since it's 1/2 the price and has most of the same features along with a few other ones. Or if you're stuck on Moog get the MF Delay which has 1 CV input and 1/4 of the price.

WAFFLEHOUND posted:Has anyone ever heard of a groovebox modified to be battery powered? Nope, but if it's like 9v I'd guess it would be doable. I've done the reverse on Monotron and some guitar pedals. I could be wrong, but it depends how much current it draws. My korg 707 needs 6 c cells to run, it draws 700mA IRC. What I'm saying is the batteries might not fit in the case or would need to be housed independetly. W424 fucked around with this message at 08:38 on Aug 27, 2014 |

WAFFLEHOUND posted:The MC- series et al Likely room enough for that. I've built RC batts into the frames of pedal boards for some of my guitarist buddies, they pack a lot of power and have standardized connectors and chargers. It's a good inexpensive solution vs the commercial motorcycle batt+inverter portable power packs or completely rolling your own from individual cells. Oh wait, that was probably me on muffs. ~internet~. If you want I can crack mine open and see what I can stuff in there. Most of the grooveboxes are pretty light on the current so it's not too expensive to get them running on batts. I bet until it kicks the FDD on it's only sippin.' You too can electrobusk.

If only some old pervert had already photo-documented the guts of an RM1x... http://lowbroweye.com/post/4837201400/lets-upgrade-yamaha-rm1x And I've never even tried to use the floppy in my one - who needs it? - so that could also become a good battery bay.

Let's get dangerous Even if you wanted to be lazy and velcro a bog standard 2kmAh 9.6V pack inside, there's room and you'd get ~6 hours out of it. You could stuff ~12 AA sized cells in the floppy cage without modifying it. Although if you're willing to do a little nibbling you're probably better off with a 11.1V LiPo pack. A 5500mAh one would fit in there and be good for nearly twenty hours. A little more care does have to be taken with LiPos vs NiMH, so keep that in mind. She's built like a brick shithouse though, and with a great voltage regulator. The swing is from almost 6 up to 15+. Running her low obviously uses more current but even at 7.00V, it's ~500mA during a FD format with spikes maybe another 100 over. At ~10 it's more like 300mA. So even if you need FDD access I think you'd be OK on battery.

Super cool. Upcycling stuff gets me so hard. Now if you could have it charge the battery pack through the normal power adapter and add a color changing led to indicate charging status...

Issuing a challenge to you goons. Either take your Rm1x, or your iPad and a copy of the free and totally excellent Yamaha Mobile Sequencer and make a loving song. You have until, gently caress, let's say Columbus Day. I will be posting a series of short, quasi-informative articles about understanding the ins, outs, nooks and crannies of Rm1x usage during the next few weeks to assist you (conversion to battery power not included).

Anyone into programming Lemur? I'd like to make a bunch of dropdown menus, each selection sending a simple sysex message and if possible an endless knob cabable of sending 2 different messages depending on rotation direction. I'm making a "controller" for Mirage, the sysex is just simulating pushing front panel buttons (http://www.gweep.net/~shifty/music/miragesysex1.txt). I've done it before on Novation Zero SL, but I just can't seem to figure Lemur out as I haven't touched it in a while. I could just do a bunch of buttons but that would take ages and having different rotaries for +/- is retarded.

Can anyone recommend iPad/iPhone apps that are good for loading and triggering samples? Ideally with realtime control over one shot/looped playback, momentary/latched triggering, playback volume & pitch. As much as I enjoy Samplr for creative mangling, it's not ideal for improvised layering of dozens of long samples to form audio collages.
