Yamaha FB-01 Repairs? Not totally Amiga related...
« on: November 05, 2013, 11:38:11 PM »
So I scored a Yamaha FB-01 for really cheap and it was said to be in perfect working order, the thing is though that the volume on the right is lower and a lot more flat than the left.
 I have tried different cables, inputs, and have messed with the internal settings but nothing has resolved this.
 I'd really love to use this with OctaMED, but not in this condition.

 Anyone know of any where in the states to get old vintage musick gear repaired?

No sliders, except in the PeeSea software to configure the thing... which I tested.

Here's some images for your gear lust. As you can see, no knobs, she's flat chested. :/

You're right, it's all in the personality, not the knobs anyhow, though at the moment, her personality is a little lop sided. I'm hoping I can get this fixed. From what I've heard out of her so far, I'm in love!

 Would love to see a clone with knobs come about! Or something like this with a SID or two inside.

Well, as fate would have it. Opening it up, pushing down the chips, and blowing it out seems to have done the trick. It works now, and works with the Amiga, though I'm still trying to figure out how to access all eight instruments instead of just one. :)

Oh, and by the way, there's a patch librarian/editor for Windows/Linux here, and one for the Amiga here. Some patches can be found here and here.


GREAT links, thanks!
