lemonhorse Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 any idea when I might be able to get my hands on some of these boards? I hope soon. In my view there is a little issue with the A, B and C Pad size.But when the board is available I will post it here of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nILS Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 My AY-3-8912 says to say "bleep bleep bloop" ;Dedit: Actually, why doesn't he just say "hi" himself... ;-) Admittedly you can only get so far with random values in the registers but hey - it's a sign of life. Oh yeah, and ignore the -30db noisefloor it's not from the AY which is amazingly quiet but from my soundcard...ay.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nILS Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Since lemonhorse asked me to take some pics of my AY and I miserably failed to do that so far, here's a little compensation :-)Little mbAY-3-8912 DemoDrums are VSTi, added a some reverb and delay to hide the noise of my soundcard ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buhler Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 that's great! ;D i just need to find a PSU for this and my MBFM... :'( i have the boards and such done i am just having a serious problem figuring out the PSU situation. the same PSU would work for both wouldn't they?

nILS Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 You can easily leave out the opamp buffer board for testing. Just connect all three outputs via 10k resistors and add a pulldown of 1k-5k from that signal to ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
