Summer is near, says my #synthesizer.

The overheating problem of my #Roland #JDXA is back. I put in a miniature amateur heat sink and later even a fan. Doesn't help 100%. When it overheats, da AD section between the analog synth parts and the FX go crazy, producing 0dBFS noise.

I really don't know what to do now, except for replacing the digital board… which might be an expensive thing to do. And even worse, it won't be a sustainable fix, because the new board will be broken by design the very same way. Unfortunately, the JD-XA has become my work horse for a specific music project I play in – live.

Photo shows a “heat sink” to some kind of power supply / voltage regulator chip that does weird stuff when too hot and then the 4ch AD chip goes mad.

Would do #fedihelp #electronics #nerds think? Is there a non-SMD-replacement to that regulator that I could fit in and mount it somewhere else, perhaps on piece of metal?

I see a number of recent Roland MT-32 clone projects out there, built using Raspberry Pi and the like. I don't see any that are being sold, pre-assembled.

The BulkyMIDI-32 looks great, but I don't think it's being sold, assembled.

If such things are on offer, can someone point me to a decent unit?

A little upgrade for our Roland TD-1K electronic drum kit that we bought back in 2020.

Gained a few extra bars and clamps off eBay and managed to separate each individual drum element to one side of the kit.

This solved the issue of the cymbal hits triggering the toms or vice versa when two elements were too close together.

Now it plays even better. And looks a lot more compact.

Then, we moved to an exploration of the musical instruments with #MIDI output.

This option seemed to be a great compromise between [relatively] clean sonic data output while keeping the fragile layers of ethnographic context [relatively] intact.

Since the RomChords project focuses primarily on harmonic accompaniments for guitar and accordion, we worked with a #Roland FR-1x #MidiAccordion and a #Jamstik #MidiGuitar.

J'ai récupéré une vieille découpeuse vinyle dont personne ne veut car les derniers drivers qu'a sorti #Roland sont pour Windows XP ... alors que la machine fonctionne très bien.

J'ai utilisé une machine virtuelle sous XP pour faire des tests de découpe sur du vinyl.

Ooh, that looks like an easy one to fix. Don't need any other projects though, and no time.

1. Check for leaky caps... probably just replace them all.
2. Check all the transistors... if any are blown, replace with closest modern equivalent
3. Fix any resistors which may have blown due to #1, and also fuses.
4. Clean potentiometers, also likely dirty.
