Re: IG00150 LFO chips?

Looking for an IG00150. Synthparts does not have any. My sub section not working.

Re: CS50 blowing uppermost fuse

could i be correct in guessing that the problem couldn't be a 'blown' primary winding since the PS is blowing fuses ? i mean it shouldn't be able to bring power through the supply with a blown primary?

update: i haven't had much of a chance to look into this until recently- it's looking like there is an open circuit (no connection) between the BROWN and either GREY or YELLOW wires on the primary side of the transformer -? the grey and yellow have at least five ohms between them however...? i'm just wondering if it's possible the transformer somehow blew (???) - these seem very heavy duty so it seems unlikely...

thoughts?

HI. I am needing a IG00153 VCO if anyone has any for sale?

Hi Florian - there are three fuses mounted on the front left of the power supply - and they are all mounted (stacked) in a? group of three horizontally - so it is the uppermost fuse... it's a 1,25A fuse that I replaced ... i hope that clarifies something? thanks

Which one do you mean with "uppermost"?

My CS50 started blowing fuses. A preliminary check revealed nothing obvious in the power supply - is there a recommended routine for this? Maybe first checking for shorts in the board feeds?

Find out which voltage the fuse is protecting.

Then desolder board for board all those voltages. Measure with the ohmmeter for short. Once a board shows 0 Ohm then that board has the short somewhere. Further measure out all tantalum capacitors for short as well as other capacitors. It's a bit time consuming but there is no other way to find the short. Good luck?

Re: CS50 schematics anywhere??

#4568

well that too... though I was just referring to the quality of the scans... the CS50 documents I already had were pretty awful as far as reproduction goes

Re: CS50 schematics anywhere??

Yamaha's old service documents are among the beautifullest technical prints ever. The schematics, the graphics, the typesetting, the yellowed paper, the fold-outs, the cover, the odd metal binding... just wonderful.

I have the original CS-50 service manual, and it's easily the classiest book in my library. :-)

PS: The CS-40M document seems missing on ?

Thanks for keeping up the documentation work though!

those are some of the nicest PDFs i've seen in a long time from a 'vintage' source (presumably) too...

Here is a video I made of the pedal I have come up with for controlling the "Brilliance"... using a slider from an old Yamaha organ...!

Cheers,

Re: Wah-Wah

Thanks for the idea David, but it occurred to me that?I might want to use the sub osc on one of it's waves while playing the synth and controlling the brilliance by foot...!

I already found a 10KB slider pot with a centre tap and have built my pedal by the way...:)

If you’re going to do a +/-15v pedal, why not just plug it into the sub-osc external input jack, turn up the ext level knob next to the jack, and set the Sub Osc to EXT and Sub Osc VCF to max and Sub Osc VCO and VCA off. ?No circuit mods! ?I’m just not sure how much range you’ll get.

Again, thanks - I'll have a good look at your diagram...but I was thinking along the lines of actually over-patching the brilliance control (wire from the wiper) to a pot in a 'custom' pedal - along with +/-15 & ground.

I think it would be much simpler and would behave in the exact same way...?

Re: Wah-Wah

I thought about your project for a while and here is how I would do it, if I had to :

?

This is not a full design since the resistor values need to be computed (with a ratio 1/3 between FH and FL to generate the CS-80's characteristic filter opening) and the voltage/current should be checked so that they comply with the existing circuitry.

Hope this helps,

Joachim
