Some of you probably know me (by name if not by reputation), others
might be seeing me for the first time. My name is Scott Rider, aka the
Old Crow. I've been doing synthesizer design and repair work for many
years, with a particular emphasis on the Yamaha CS line, as well as some
of their digital instruments.

I maintain the website http://www.cs80.com/ where I try to explain in
relatively simple terms what is involved in opening, inspecting and
repairing CS-80 problems. In recent years, however, I've been
concentrating on how to construct the equivalent circuits of various
Yamaha custon ICs, with the goal of making circuit boards useful for
CS-50/60/80 repairs that work and sound like the originals, just without
the problems of trying to track down the getting-harder-to-find parts.
Thus far I have been able to create the "standard parts" equivalents to
the envelope generators, filters and VCA chips. I am currently working on
the VCO (I have a working prototype the reproduces the 'flawed sawtooth'
exactly). I've also made replacement SH and TKC boards. Designed but not
yet boarded is a new KAS (key assigner) designed to replace the original
KAS, and add a few features such as integral MIDI.

Finally, thinking of it to be of some interest, I have also been
breaking open the epoxy-potted NE submodule series as used in the GX-1
(and [C]SY-1, [C]SY-2) in order to re-create those voice elements. Thus
far I have the highpass, bandpass and lowpass filters figured out. The
NE11000 VCO module is next. Some info available here:
http://www.cs80.com/ne_proj.html

Hi Scott,

I tried emailing you directly from you site but they kept bouncing
back... glad to have bumped into you here. I have a question for you.
It's about the selection of which voice is playing (great site by the
way) when tuning. You say on your site that the voices play in order
after switching on. But to get voice 8 you have to hit a key 4 times
and hold it, and the next voice played is voice 8. This is slightly
confusing - are you saying that after powering on you can hit single
notes and it will increment from 1 to 7? But you need to do the "4
hit - hold and then one hit" for voice 8 ONLY????

I hope that I've explained my confusion un-confusingly...?

Cheers for now.
TOM

The original key encoder is a strange bit of logic. Originally designed
for the 4-voice CS-50, but with options to assign from 4 to 8 keys, some
of the logic for 4 voices still applies. The key rollover logic triggers
voice 8 if voice 4, 5, 6, or 7 is in use. So, the pressing a key 4 (or 5
or 6 or 7) times and holding it while pressing another key is the only way
to sound voice #8. At least it is the only voice number that needs this
keying method.

I think the key assigner chip is kit-bashed from one of Yamaha's organ
key encoders, which typically (in 1975) encoded up to 7 keys per manual.
Adding that 8th note involved a bit of 'bodge-work' to the existing 7-key
design.

The actual reading of keys is also interesting; they used a ternary
(base-3) encoding system, which is hard to do in a modern 5-volt-only
microcontroller. (I don't even try to do the ternary encoding in my
microcontroller code for the KAS replacement project. Much easier to do a
"normal" binary key-scanner and frob the results into Yamaha-like keycodes
and time slots.

Hope this helps,

Crow

Yes, thanks Scott.

It all makes sense now...;^)

hey guys, here is an audio file of the wierd voice(voice 3). i
scrolled through 7 voices on several different presets so you can hear
the differences.

the calibration of the bad voice VCF is as follows-i set each trim pot
to the resistance value of a "good" voice for HPF,LPF, and VCF EG.
this was the closest i could get to normal. if i calibrated by ear via
the manual panel settings, it would sound completely off on a preset.

thanks for any advice on calibrating this one voice.

I uploaded a list of some components that I replaced successfully.
I think that everybody who did a mod should do this (after checking)... would be very useful for the mail list!
Hope this helps
Any suggestion / correction welcome!

Ciao from Napoli

Fernando

Thanks Fernando!

I just finished fixing the CS80 that's been in my house for several
months. It felt really good closing up the case and putting in the last
screws! A little finish work on a couple of Polymoogs and my repair
shop is closed for a while. Then I can work on collating all the part
replacement lists.

The DK40 is fairly early and very much mostly 'just an organ' rather than a
polysynth in organ's clothes. It's almost all discrete (i.e., transistors)
inside with the exception of (1) the dividers for the tone generator and (2)
the amp that drives the reverb spring.



Some details here at the bottom of this page on my web-site:

http://frank.gadgetland.net/03_electronic_organs_05_Some_Yamaha_Electones.cf
m



Even the keyboard solo synth actually derives its tones from the organ
dividers (came as quite a surprise when I found *that* in the service
manual). So about the only 'synthy' thing about it would be the separate
'portamento' manual (ribbon controller to the left of the solo-synth keys),
and that's pretty basic.



That said, I've always wanted to try the DK40, but have never managed to be
in the right place at the right time.

Hi all,

where to check the calibration voltages? The Ground: from every single board, from the metal board cage rails ?
And the voltages? from the PSU PCB or at every board's points?

They are different and in the manual it is not clearly evidenced.

Thanks

F

I have a DK-40A and I really love it.
It's quirky, interesting, 1970's... and an absolute JOY to spend time playing..!!!!

Cheerz,
TOM

I have various service manuals in electronic format for the DK-40 series of organs. Let me know if you want to see them.

hm.... yeah, it looks blank even to me (the uploader) when I view it via a web browser, but it's OK when I download it. I will put a copy of the full scan here:

http://www-personal.umich.edu/~damont/YamahaCSSeriesTroubleshootingHintsandAdjustmentProcedures.pdf

If someone else is better at shrinking files, please do so and re-upload to the group site.

I also just purchased an original "CS Series Servicing Guide" that I will be scanning and uploading in the near future. I think many who, like me, don't know all that much about how this thing works will find it very useful.

enjoy!

Even my new upload looks kind of weird online. But at least it's not blank... and it looks OK downloaded. I was using someone else's scanner and it wouldn't work with Photoshop, only with the built in HP software (yuck). Well... download it and you should be able to view. I'll do the Servicing Guide on a high quality scanner at work (off hours of course).

Dear friends,

I'm not sure if all of you are informed about recent situation
concerning Sibelius score editor software. Please read this and
consider signing a
petition, I did it one week ago as Sibelius user since the version 1
and member of Sibelius yahoo group. Spread this info please to all
your music
friends and ask them to sign.

Here's what we can do:
http://www.artsjournal.com/slippeddisc/2012/08/at-sibelius-software-the-last-staff-turn-out-the-lights.html

Thanks, hopefully this invaluable piece of software can be saved.

Daniel Forro

Just looked into this. Blah. I don't use this, but I have composer
friends who do. I don't know if any boycott or campaign has a chance of
bringing back development or getting Avid to sell the program. I guess
it's keep running it until it doesn't work anymore and hope Finale is
still around then!

This kind of software is incredibly difficult to write, has a fairly
small market, and users who want it to be easy and fast since they're
probably under huge time pressure. Many years ago (1986?) I was helping
to convert a hand-written orchestra score into parts using the
Synclavier's Music Printing software. The basic info was entered as
text and then displayed on a VT100 text terminal with a special graphics
card. No mouse - just arrow keys. It was very slow and very painful.
I think I did about 30 measures before I quit :)

I also doubt campaign has any chance, because its target is not quite
clear and because nobody at firm will listen to customers. But we can
just try it, that's all.

Yes, of course there's Finale, Score, Capella, Notion, LilyPond,
MuseScore, Rosegarden, name some others... Sibelius is not perfect,
and I don't think it's a good idea to try to connect standard music
notation editor with live playback (it's too much incompatible ways of
representing music), and lot of important features was still missing
in Sibelius (microtonality, polymetrics, polytempo, Japanese
instruments tablatures...) but never mind, it was fast and easy to use.

And all that competition on the market helped to develop the other
software as well. Even Finale could benefit from Sibelius features and
ideas and at least to be inspired.

And let's not forget please that next one to kill can be Finale...

I don't think there's a small market for score editor - such software
is used not only by composers or arrangers but in music education,
score publishing houses...

And such software like Sibelius was developed exactly to avoid slow
and painful text input :-)
