soapy water and a squeegy to get rid of the bubbles vs using just plain water wich is easy to have bubbles that you need to puncture to get rid of
in case of anydoubts I¨m talking about instead of the wood filler
hello there I dont know if such thing as crazy o super glue availavle over on your part of the earth but it work wonders with some saw dust from the same material you sand it panit it and it will stay and if you do not have acces to the saw dust some people use baking soda. cheers
those buttons do brake easly
Now you need red, blue or black LCD, right? Cheers! S
love the diagrram
It turns out my load resistor on the 5v line was only pulling 0.5 Amp. I read a comment on modwiggler that this needs to be 20% of the rated current. 2.2 Amp power resistors now on order!
My M1 needs to get the keys sorted, some dont work after I replaced a broken one so i must have not put them back in properly. they are so fiddly, might have to remove all of them, clean em and put back again. Also so annoying how the metal case gets scratched and I don't see how you would repair them or touch them up. I like the wrap but dont want to lose Music Workstation logo/writing on the right side!
I’ve trapped and bent the leaf-switches before reinstalling keys. They’re quite elastic though and normally return to their required shape. The thin tang on the underside of the keys can catch them.
How can I look for the chips you changed? My Korg M1 makes a blurry noise when I touch the keys. I already checked the flex syntax and it's fine.
On mine it was a “MB81464-12 FUJITSU INTEGRATED CIRCUIT ZIP”. EBay from China. But don’t assume it’s the same on yours. Please remove one if you suspect it is the same problem and get the part number from the chip. Good luck.
Why on earth.. this machine has nothing interesting to bring to the table whatsoever... Only sampled waveforms, ie. no Real synthesis, and not even resonance filter!!
It's an iconic synth and sounds great! I like it as it's in so many songs from a good time in my life so lots of nostalgia !

Ayuda por fabor Mi dx7 se quedo en # 88 en la pantalla y no arranca Ya cambie batery y nada Alguien que me ayude
Aku suka, Ayo ngumpul disini ! dari Indonesia
I've swapped the battery on my M1 3 days ago. And for the past 3 days I've been trying non stop to MidiOX (&Bome) the Sysex back on. I'm ready to through the bloody thing through the window. Tried several cables. The last one bought by someone who'd left a review saying they'd used it successfully to use it to Sysex the preload back on. Double checked every setting in the process, tried every buffer/delay solution offered in the history of man. It sends. It completes. Go to M1.....still on "init". Nothing loaded. Giving up the will to live. Then I see your vid.....and you just pop em back on! Gutted! What did you use?
Hi. Sorry about your trouble. When I did a DX7 a few years back, I read that a lot of cheap USB-interfaces don’t talk well with the older kit. So I bought a MidiSport. Maybe it’s the same issue for you. But I used Bome also.
Good video, gave you a like, but at 9:12 you show a board mounted battery that you are going to put in, and you will backing out the modification that moved the battery off board (usually to a battery holder - which I didn't see so far in your video, I only saw two wires). Many people prefer the modification to have an off board battery holder (mounted in an easy to access area) so the user can simply open up the DX7, pop out the dead battery, pop in a new battery... and Bob's your uncle! No mucky-muck of cliping/desoldering of an old battery. When I put in battery holders, I velcro the holder to the case so if there is a need to remove the circuit board in the future, the battery holder comes off the case with it.
Hi Paul. Fair comment. I did consider it but concluded that I probably won’t be doing this in 10 years time and my preference was to restore to original condition. All the best.
@@Burfordstechstuff True, the battery does last years. Soldering in the battery may be preferred by gig musicians as it is more reliable.
Quick question, when cleaning the keys, you say you're going to wash / soak them in laundry detergent . . . do you mean the stuff you wash your clothes with, if so is this better than simple washing up liquid ? I'm about to do the same thing, any tips would be useful.
Yes. Just a bit of laundry powder and warm water to lift all the stains and remove the old grease. It seems to rinse off better than dish-soap.
@@Burfordstechstuff Great, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go . . . I'm going to christen this 'Korg Soup' 🙂
Nice job!
This was so easily explained! Been watching videos on this module and everyone is making it all so complex for no reason. Thank you’
Hey Tech stuff thanks for this video a tip from a vintage synth enthusiast & not profession Technician many People watching these videos my self included are more interested in finding out How to approach taking it apart them selves so they can do basic repairs on their DX2FD than anything else. So showing the process of unscrewing each section fully is very important to people with limited knowledge on the specifics of this model construction. for example i am searching for what to disconnect and NOT to disconnect to get to the key bed & replace 1 broken key in a straight forward manner. Just food for though for future videos cheers!
Hi. Thanks for your comments. I hear you. Sadly I don’t have the time or the video kit to do the full timelapse piece in disassembly. There’s always a mix of self tapping and machine screws on the DX and I make a diagram of their positions when taking off the base plate. Other than that, when things get complicated, I try to remember to take photos of sub assembly before taking things apart so I can refer to them later. It’s always worth buying a few extra screws I guess. I may do a separate video on disassembly/reassembly techniques and hints. Thanks.
Where did you get the charcoal colored brick for the entry way. Those are awesome!!
They’re “blue engineering bricks”. Got from Travis Perkins. They are very hard - difficult to cut neatly with hand grinder or chisel. You should oil the faces before laying to minimise cement staining.
nice one 👍
Thank you!
Well done! Beautifuly designed and well executed! I've started my "summer kitchen" project and due several reasons I haven't completed it yet. Determent to finish it this summer (souther hemisphere). Therefore looking for DYI pizza oven build videos on the internet and came across yours. Thank you, for sharing!
Nice job! Thanks for sharing. Hope you didn't get into trouble for revealing your wife's age!!
don't be so shy, play that sucker for us
Did you wet the stucco for a few days to help it cure
No
How many coats of the 5:1 render did you use? Is it holding up?
Why bother with the DX7? The much more powerful FS1R and of course the Montage will both play DX7 patches.
Make me one please 👌👌👌
Thanks mate. I love my silent shredder, its another brand but probably more or less the same. I have neglected it and suspect it will be siezed up also when I use it next. If anyone reads this,my advice is never buy a shredder with a high-speed blade because in my experience so much more goes wrong and they are horrendously noisy. A good silent shredder won't have problems with palm fronds either, particularly if they have been allowed to go brown and brittle.
Yamaha said when they came back for a service they all the factory pre-sets intact. No one touched the pre-sets. Someone I know knew the DX7 inside out and new how powerful it was. He made the lead for his trance tune with the DX7. The tune was thirteen years ago and the lead still sounds fresh today. ua-cam.com/video/A8Q8cWDJTm0/v-deo.html
I nearly bought a DX7II and decided against it because it had a broken floppy and issues with a key - it was 200 USD and I regret it.
Unlike most other classic synths, the DX-7 doesn't require regular maintenance for staying in tune, etc. It does however take the electronics maintenance that doesn't happen often like recapping, etc. So as far as a classic synth it's easy to recommend. Especially the DX7-II because the original's membrane controls crack with a lot of use.
Native instruments FM8 (and Massive) was the absolute foundation of modern bass music (DnB, Dubstep, think Skrillex, Noisia, etc) A DX7 with post processing is a modern bass monster. The DX7 is has never not been relevant. Incredibly modern sounding synth to this day that people discount because the presets are dated. (Tho do go for the II or IIFD like the one in this video. Splits, better MIDI, real buttons)
What does the parasite firmware do?
mqtthiqs.github.io/parasites/clouds.html
I expect this oven to underperform due to the engineering and materials used on the inside of the dome . Decent enough for occasional use though.
After driving out the winter moisture (UK weather) and using it several times this year, I can report some good performance. The feolite cooking surface is heat-hungry and takes about an hour’s burning time to get up to a decent direct pizza cooking heat (250 - 300 C), whilst the dome mid to upper portion gets to 350-400. After pizzas, I’ve successfully roasted meat down the cooling curve and generally after an evening’s cooking, with the door on I can still have 50C 36 hours later.
I remember back in the day everyone wanted a DX7. It was THE synth. Then 20 years later no-one wanted them. Funny.
I got mine about 10 years ago from a pawn shop for $149 w/ expression pedal and 10 cartridges of custom sounds. 💯
Awesome sequences
Thank you. 🤩
The beauty of FM imo is , that it takes you places standard analog synth waveforms dont. Timbres are quite limitless to an extent.
Great dog barking sounds, I need to dig deeper into my Mutable modules

Jesus the tearing of the meat, get a thermo!
Ok 🌞
interested in knowing how did hook up that piece of meat to the inside dome ? did you drill a hole in the pearlite cement mixture , pictures would be nice.
There’s a length of rebar cast in to the dome. It’s in the video somewhere. Thanks.
Very concise and informative video! Excited to see what else you make!
Extremely informative, thank you!

Now I have to watch it again. Thanks 🤩
My bad it was assault on precinct 13 this reminded me of. Both great though!
