i don`t wan´t to start endless discussion about good or negative feedbacks.

But i also should say you (CrustyPaul)
from Circuit-benders.co-uk have sent modified equipment that won`t work at the end.

Maybe you have done all rigth & the shippment damage the Package or anything? LOL

But that is what happen in the Past. Just one negative feedback for you that i should say,too.

Funny that espacally you remembered me........

err....................... What?

No, actually forget it.

This topic is about the RY30. If you want to have a discussion about something else not involving circuitbending start a topic in the Banter section or where i just moved the topic you just started with an identical post from this topic

Now, back to the RY30...............

Aha your going to find yourself hated by everyone here in a few days.... KLUGSCHEISSER... So your mods are top grade and super professional because you know what your doing ? If so everybody who just knows a tiny bit about electronics does the same thing.. It's not very hard to look up a datasheet just to make sure to stay away from power and clock signals on some freaking ram chip... And yes your mods are insanely overpriced, no wonder no one buys it.. Try to start you auction on 0 € and so how high it's going.. Then that's how much your stuff is worth...

YOUR THE NEW S-CAT !

NOW, BACK TO THE RY30...................

Oooops.. Sorry..

Yes yes yes,
I'm still waiting for some info about the type of ROMs used in the RY30 since I can't seem to find a service manual online.
I've been making new soundsets for a few machines lately, including Alesis HR-16, Korg DDD-5 and Casio RZ-1.
The RY30 looks like a good candidate for that too.
Any ideas everyone?

To change the sounds in the RY30 you just need a compatible waveform RAM card and someone with a synth (SY99) which can sample and write onto this card.

Circuitbenders · May 29, 2009, 05:22:30 PM

Presumably the waveform card slot is linked directly to the sound ROM and therefore can be bent using the connections already in place?

Got a list of the chips in it? A couple of good clear photos of both sides of the board would help too.

I don't have an RY30

Just wanted to know if it's worth getting one, as the manual suggests it has a more or less complete synth structure.

Pardon the newbish question here and even more so if I somehow missed it in this thread or elsewhere on this forum, but how do you do the RAM card/synth sample write thing? That seems so cool.

Gordonjcp · May 31, 2009, 01:15:21 AM

The RY30 shares the sound engine with some of the other Yamaha synths. So, you can put samples intended for an SY99 into an RY30. Kind of.

In general, samples are held in ROM and you can remove that ROM and change it for one with different sounds. Quite often you need to change the synth firmware too, so it knows that the samples are different.

just noticed that the audio file of my ry30 i uploaded to box .net has been downloaded 28 times so far...if anyone has done anything with it i would love to hear your stuff...
Now that i think about it these forums must be a great place for people to acquire that circuit bent sound without doing the soldering......
Gx

i wonder if there's any new info on this machine.. i'm about to receive one with a card.. nice machine i guess..
would be super to go with the adsr and filter etc over the bends
