MOTM

unless i'm mistaken, the 180 and 181 are powered by the special connector 
for the rest of the system... anyone know how difficult it wourld be to 
change this to a motm power connector, and if so, what would be the power 
consumption level (in terms of motm module equivelants)?

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.
