<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m just thinking out loud at this stage but here is what I
have in mind……<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a Yamaha W5 synthesizer in storage at home and I
can’t help feel it is being wasted. I will probably never sell it because
there is some sentimental value attached to it, it belonged to an old friend
that committed suicide a number of years ago. Anyway, it is way too big
to fit in with my current setup and I even considered doing some DIY on it to
make it smaller but my DIY skills let me down on that before I even started and
even then there is no room for it. So, what I might do in order to re-introduce
it back into my setup is to neatly punch a hole in the wall next to my desk, on
the other side is a built in wardrobe, and place the W5 in an upright position
against the wall. The power, audio and midi cables can be passed
through the hole and I can create a controller interface for it using SynthEdit
or something similar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In theory this sounds like a simple task. I don’t
imagine it will generate a lot of heat and it will never be powered on when I
am not there but I will have to test that out. The other obstacle of
sorts is the controller interface and how much control do I want and what are
the limitations of the SynthEdit software. And of course I will not be
punching any holes in the wall until I get the interface working as expected.
Is there anything else I should consider?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-IE>Regards,<br>
<br>
Declan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
