What if Yamaha and Access teamed up to make synths?

[random variate]

Hi Romain

Yes, £25 plus £5 postage max I think.

In the spirit of transparency, my charging rationale:

£4 cost per chip = £16
(50ns access time, so quicker than the original chips which, IIRC, are 100ns)

£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.

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.

I will keep you updated.

Cheers

Tim

Hi Tim,
I really appreciated the offer :
Here it's the quite same,  Main Rom  :1.07 |  TG Rom : 1.05
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 £   ?
Just let me know if it works for your Ex5r, I m very curious  :)
Some other barians may be interested as well ...

Romain

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.

Plus you have sampling capability (import and native sampling). Samples can then be mangled with the synthesis engine.
