Yamaha RM1X 01

 

I recently found a Yamaha RM1-X on Facebook Marketplace, the guy selling it said that the display was gone, everything was working but it was almost impossible to see anything on the screen, as you can see in the above picture. It was only barely visible if viewed at an angle. I took it home for 90 euros thinking "maybe it is just a quick fix, like I have seen in this youtube video".

I recently found this "broken" Roland GAIA SH-01 on a local Facebook Groups.
The seller reported the Synth as "broken", with no sound coming out of it and only some noise on the outputs. I tested the unit and everything else was apparently working, all buttons worked, all leds were ok and so on...I suspected a problem with the DAC or with the amplification stage of the synth, but took it home anyway presaging a very quick fix.

I recentrly got a Yamaha A3000 from Ebay and started fiddling with a Gotek I had around, where FlashFloppy was already installed.
After a bit of trial and error, and looking online, the correct way to have the Gotek installed is to set the jumpers BOTH on S1 and JC.

I had to reset the Gotek first (press and hold both buttons for 3secs, with no pendrve in it) so it is "standard" settings, with no FF.CFG installed.

Sometimes, if you are on a Mac, you cannot use Audio Units plugins becaus they are not "code signed", and an error saying "Plugin.xxx cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified” which simply means that the developer of the pluing hasn't signed the code digitally.

If you are using PISCSI on a RPI 3 B+, and no matter what you try the Web interface cannot start...
