<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Hi Romain<br>
<br>
Yes, £25 plus £5 postage max I think.<br>
<br>
In the spirit of transparency, my charging rationale:<br>
<br>
£4 cost per chip = £16<br>
(50ns access time, so quicker than the original chips which, IIRC, are 100ns)<br>
<br>
£9 for the service (testing the new blank chips before use, burning binaries, verifying success on EX5r). Alas those steps have to be done serially for each set of chips, so its a labour of love.<br>
<br>
I make no secret that would like to recoup some of the costs of the new 48pin programmer, as my old programmer only supports chips up to 40pins.<br>
<br>
I will keep you updated.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
Tim<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi Tim,
<div>I really appreciated the offer :</div>
<div>Here it's the quite same, Main Rom :1.07 | TG Rom : 1.05</div>
<div>Yes, I'm quite interested, so if I understand good you will be able to provide the four ROM OS: 1.11/1.14 for a total price of 25-30 <span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">£</span> ? </div>
<div>Just let me know if it works for your Ex5r, I m very curious :) </div>
<div>Some other barians may be interested as well ...</div>

<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">Hi Romain,<br>
<br>
What pair of operating system versions you have on your machine? Mine is running low numbered versions, something like 1.05 and 1.01. The latest pairing is 1.14 and 1.11, and solved the timing issues (and many more). One obstacle to acquiring these versions
was that Yamaha being precious with their intellectual property... That has recently relaxed and the OS files are available for burning to chips.<br>
<br>
Note though that new OS ROMs could be bought on ebay for £40-50 for the last couple of years or so, from enterprising sellers, but that price is sheer robbery.
<br>
<br>
In recent days, I decided to upgrade my ROM programmer (on order from China). I also have 42pin chips ready to be programmed.<br>
<br>
I intended to offer latest EX5r ROMs at cost, to the EX5 user community, at cost - which would be half of the prices above.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you are interested.<br>
<br>
Also - any other Barians that may need ROMs burning, let me know. I will help if I can.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>
Tim<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">The Ex5 rocks , but it got some bugs …
<div>for instance: building my own arp seq make the thing crash … or memory problem in performance mode if you use more than 2 layers ( i heard about an alternative but i never tried) </div>
<div>But still I love the SDFP, VL and WMA, and I never regret to buy this synth even with the bugs :D</div>
<div>I didn t see new stuff on the community side since a while … I would really love to have a software editing for the EX5 working on mavericks OS.</div>

<div style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif; font-size:11pt">I have an EX5R... And it's reasonable to say that it was the pinnacle of Yam's workstation style synths. It is much more than a simpler ROMpler. The synthesis engines are sophisticated and deep. Plus
you have sampling capability (import and native sampling). Samples can then be mangled with the synthesis engine.<br>
<br>
There is a very active EX5 community. And very helpful. <br>
