Hello,
My name is Chris and I still have my 01x digital mixer that I purchased new back in 2006.
My question is about a hardware mod that I found recently on youtube.
The modification pipes mLan_midi port 1 (general remote) to actual midi port A and mLan_midi port 4 (SM) to actual midi port B both on the rear panel.
The mod also provides program change control by piping mLan_midi port 5 to midi port B.
All of the above mods are reversible by using toggle switches added to the rear panel.
It looks like it will work but I have not received a reply from the author El Tortuga as of yet.
I believe that BAD MISTER (Phil Clenadin) of Yamaha USA would be a good person to speak with based on his posts over the past 10+ years.....
Please let me know if you can be of any assistance as I would love to keep the 01x alive as a control surface if nothing else...
How can I help? I know nothing about the modification you speak of... sorry.
With Firewire being replaced by Thunderbolt and thunderbolt being compatible with the forthcoming USB4 Yamaha should pull their fingers outs and update the drivers. I spent nearly a grand on my machine and loved it to bits, now I have to use it in Windows 10 test mode (development) if I want to use it. I would hate to sell it, its grown up with me for the past 20 years, and I would could NEVER throw it out, but it hurts me a company the size of Yamaha failed to support a product that cost so much money - I have NEVER bought as yamaha product again and sold all my Yamaha keyboards
