I wonder if Peter Vogel would be in a position to re-make these cards to order? It seems a HUGE shame to let a machine go to pieces, literally, for the sake of a damaged or unrepairable card :-/ P On 18 January 2012 23:50, Gordon JC Pearce gordon@gjcp.net > wrote: On 18/01/12 23:

Just a heads up.....I have sold my IIx and will likely be selling my CMI III as well. I am just not using it like I had hoped. I am sure there is someone out there who will make better use of this glorious machine. I'm out of town for a couple of months but when I return in April

Yes, some of the parts of a Q133 are harder to work on than others. It helps to have some dedicated rework tools like a heat gun. Luckily, the Q133 is one of the more common CMI cards. Joe On Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 10:25 AM, WT waveterm@telia.com > wrote: Well....let me put it this

Well....let me put it this way : If the card looks anything like my card did, forget it. It was impossible to desolder components. Legs and tracks desintegrated just by touching them with a screwdriver. Some would not come of the card no matter how much heat. It was impossible. R

Do you know of anyone who tried Chicken Systems to convert series iii voices? I had spoke with a gentleman named Garth at Chicken Systems some time ago, and while he could not guarantee the conversion, he said that a few users had tried it with good results.... Todd Herreman ---

Yes, cmios9 lets you see all of the "metadata" such as loop points, modulation and any notes the programmer left, which is cool. What would be lovely is a system like EMXP which would batch convert disk images to a common format such as SoundFont or Kontakt.

Hi Gordon! Sounds like an amusing project. You must be aware of cmios9.exe? kmi9000 released his source to cmios9 in February last year. All the details of how these various filesystems hang together is in the source. Failing that, there are some old Motorola MDOS technical manua

Hi Guys. The pedal circuits for the II and III keyboard simply replicate the faders (I and II) or the control knobs (III) All these controls, and the Yamaha pedal provide a variable voltage from -5V to +5V to correspond with control range of 0 to 127. Regards, Peter Wielk. --- In

2011-10-12 by Joe Sleator
At this rate Rev 5 machines will likely become very rare indeed, and may even become more valuable than Rev 9 machines. It's generally possible to make binary images of any 8" CMI diskette here. Each is about 1MB. Takes about 5 minutes. Others can also do this I think. After that
