What are the power requirements for the 181 keyboard? Does it have an onboard power supply? What sort of external connector does it have for power? I bought a 181 to use as a CV controller for a non-Roland modular. Anyone else doing this?

Try: http://machines.hyperreal.org/manufacturers/Roland/System-100m/ where they have the System-100m service manual as a set of JPGs. Hopefully that'll give you all the info. Cheers, T

Thanks for the link, but I could not find the power requirements there. Does the keyboard require 15v +/- like the modules do? --- In RolandSystem100m@yahoogroups.com, T <tipper@...> wrote:

Great, thanks! I didn't notice that you have the power requirements on the first page. The DIN cable page is very useful too. Your "service notes" PDF does not seem to be working though. --- In RolandSystem100m@yahoogroups.com, ac <analoghell@...> wrote: > > yeh, they take +15/-15 and earth in via the DIN. > > see http://www.analoghell.com/studio/100m > > On 6/23/06, Captain Quality <zanyzolo@...> wrote: > > Thanks for the link, but I could not find the power requirements there.

hi you can very easy make a suitable +/- 15 v psu with this velleman symmetric psu kit http://www.velleman.be/ot/en/product/view/?id=353668 + a suitable transformer and put it all in the 181 kbd cheers OLLIE --- In RolandSystem100m@yahoogroups.com, "Captain Quality" <zanyzolo@...> wrote:

I just got a 181 keyboard that I'm going to be using with my MOTM system. I'm going to change out the DIN connector with a 7-pin, then put the 7-pin connector on a MOTM panel and power the 181 from the MOTM power supply. It has very low current requirements; no more than 40ma per 15V leg (bipolar). The reason I'm changing to 7-pins is so that I can get the bender output through the multiconductor cable as well.
