Roland D-50 Repair tips and tricks; watch before you open your D-50!
In this video I disassemble a Roland D-50 I previously repaired, in order to correct a mistake I made during the repair. I had not intended to make a video of it but when I was done I thought I could have shared one or two things and therefore having to open it again provided the opportunity to do so. Lessons Learned:
-Protect the pitch bend lever and the joystick before flipping the synth over a work surface.
-Label every screw and bolt; in a device this old all screws and bolts are going to be different and this will save you a lot of time and prevent further damage to the synth's bolt and screw holes.
-You can rest the key bed on its side, but make sure you don't rest it over the side that has the very delicate aftertouch sensor connector.
-There are 7 different white keys, one for each natural note. You can swap a C for another C or an F for another F, but you can't swap a D for a G or a G for an A.
-The aftertouch sensor is a white conductive polymer stripe that changes its electrical resistance as you increase the pressure. This stripe bridges two carbon tracks and the synth detects the resistance, and thus knows how much aftertouch to apply. This stripe loses its properties with the age. You can improve things a little by cleaning it, but if you scrub too strongly you will wear out the white stuff and you will be left with a zero resistance substrate. I fixed the aftertouch by applying stripes of paper with lots of pencil graphite to the carbon tracks.

Yesterday - Audio Only
มุมมอง 142 ปีที่แล้ว
My version of Yesterday, by Paul McCartney, recorded on my old Yamaha C70. McCartney always maintained that he dreamed this song, and sat on the piano to write it as soon as he woke up. For many days he thought the song already existed and asked close people about it and couldn't find if the song was previously written by someone else and he just heard it and it stuck in his subconscious mind. ...
Carol of the Bells

This is our take on "The Carol of the Bells", a.k.a. "Ring Christmas Bells", a popular Christmas carol from 1914 with music from the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych and based on a Ukrainian folk song. I have always thought this piece is kind of creepy and proper of a Tim Burton type of approach to Christmas (think "The Nightmare Before Christmas"). Warner Bros. seems to agree with me since...

This is a quick demo video of my old Marshall G15R CD, an amp that predates the infamous MG series of Marshall and that is still going strong. I have recently put this amp for sale on Marketplace and wanted to do a video before it's gone. This was my first guitar amp (not my first amp, which was actually a keyboard amp) and has something you don't find anymore on budget amplifiers: real spring ...
Oye Como Va - Audio Only

This is my take on Oye Como Va, a greatest hit of Tito Puente which Santana would later record to an even greater success. Oye Como Va by Santana has became an icon of the friendship of cultures, being a song by a Cuban author, played by an American Blues band fronted by a Mexican immigrant in a new (by the time) Latin Rock style.

No pretense of monetizing anything, just sharing with you my version of the 80's mega hit Take On Me by A-ha. In 2017 A-ha recorded an acoustic version of Take On Me for MTV Unplugged at the Giske Harbour Hall in Norway. My take on Take on Me is inspired by it. The performance is based around my old Yamaha C-70, I recorded the guitar with a Shure SM57 and the voice with a Shure Beta 58A. The ba...

Hermano muy bueno el video, me gustaria saber que tipo de madera es el cuerpo de esa pevey??
I have 2 k2500x and triton pro. I want to use a gotek drive that supports 1,000 floppy diskettes. Your video helped me a lot. thanks.
I'm very glad you found it useful; thank you for your comment.
Really interesting, some great tips! 🙏👍😎
Good work! Buen trabajo! Perdona mi mal espanol. Yo vi una hoy en una casa de empeno en mi ciudad (Oklahoma City). Tal vez voy a comprarla. Es muy sucio, pero creo que yo puedo restaurarla.
Bello/Magnifico 💎💎💎💎💎💎
Buen video. ¿Qué tal este ampli para uso en casa? ¿Se puede dominar o es excesivamente ruidoso? ¿Con volumen similar a la televisión es usable? Gracias por la respuesta.
Muchas gracias. Sí puede usarse en casa , gracias a que tiene master volume; puedes obtener distorsión del preamp a bajos volúmenes. Sin embargo, idealmente es para tocar en lugares medianos o al aire libre, en donde puedas subirle y obtener algo de distorsión del power amp. La verdad es que lo uso muy poco en mi estudio de casa; para practicar y hacer música en el estudio uso software o modeladores.
Nice work on the song! I am considering either this Luna, or the Yamaha GL-1 guitalele. How do you like your Luna?
I like it a lot; I keep it tuned like a regular guitar (EADGBE) so, it's more like a parlor guitar for me.
Thank you very much!
4 minutes of talking. . it said quick demo.. hahaha
Actually, Martin did not file a 'lawsuit' against Takamine, nor did Takamine 'copy' the Martin guitars. Takamine was contracted to make Martin guitars for the export market due to USA Export laws at the time. The deal fell through, but Takamine continued to make the 'Martin' guitars, but applied their own logo using the Martin font/style and kept the Martin style headstock. Martin filed multiple CaD (Cease and Desist) orders over the logo and headstock style. Takamine eventually changed the logo and headstock style and developped their own models based on the knowledge and experience they gained making the Martin guitars.
Thanks for the info Patrick!
👍😃
I have this same amp. My first "decent" amp, lol! Running clean, it still sounds freaking awesome with my pedal board
Hi good job👍👍, do you have any problems with hiss of the amp? My new head ss22 is hissing too much at low clen volume, any idea how to solve it? Thnx 🙏and nice day from🇨🇿
Hey, no I don't have a problem with noise; perhaps what you describe has to do with a loose ground connection; but I'm far from an expert really.
Tune that thing man!
One comment on the text at 1:00. The ukulele was not developed in Portugal, but rather by Portuguese immigrants living in Hawaii. It's a product of syncretism, or two cultures combining together. It adapts several pre-existing Portuguese instruments, notably the cavaquinho and rajão, into the Hawaiian musical tradition. Manuel Nunes claimed to be it's inventor, and while this was never verified, he did own the very first ukulele store.
:)
Keep going!
Genial video
