Re: [motm]mods for the roland 180 and 181

2000-06-01 by Charles Stella

According to the 180 spec sheet the power consumption is 40ma for the
+15V rail and 20ma for the -15V. The 6 pin din connector carries +/-15V,
Ground, Keyboard CV, Gate and Trigger. I plan to open mine up over the
weekend and see where the pinouts go. I also received a 6 pin din cable
with the keyboard and was thinking about cutting off one end and
connecting an AMP .156 connector like the ones used in MOTM. Or I may
just use a wallwart. The service manuals for the 100M series can be
found at  Music Machines: Roland System-100m  The links are not indexed
so you will have to open each until you find what you are looking for.
Hope this helps. Charles.
