Undeniably impressive work, happy to show it off, even for a bit.
I also have a chip for an AX73 mod, but there's not much of an installation to demonstrate, just plugs in.
If there is homebrew firmware for a vintage synth on an eprom I buy it and install it. Never gone wrong! The best is the upgrade for the JX-10, the upgrade for the matrix 6r and the Europa! It’s amazing the time people have put into this. Great video.
No, Bob Grieb (Tauntek) said he wasn't able to do a firmware update without these hardware modifications as well. I believe it was due to storage limitations on the original.
Just a quick shout out to Bob Grieb who runs Tauntek. I also just received my AX60 mod pack and the guy spent $70 USD sending it to me here in Sydney thanks to COVID issues between USPS and AusPost. After I realised Bob had basically lost money due to no fault of his own, I asked if he needed me to send him some more $ to cover expenses and he flat out refused. Now that’s service. I can’t recommend the guy enough. Thanks Bob!
Cheers to him indeed, truly a gift to our community.
@@JorbLovesGear Everybody now! ‘KEEP IT! KEEP IT! KEEP IT!’
Busy seriously, maybe just one more video before you sell it? Maybe you could put yr Akai sampler through it? I think I’ve seen some outboard mods that let you connect any sampler to it and not just an S612 etc.
@@Pamberjack_ I have one recorded where I use the ax73, should be here... Thursday? Pretty neat feature!
Thanks for the video! I just ordered mine, and can’t wait to install it!
Thanks so much for uploading this. Finally got hold of an AX60 so going to do his upgrade as soon as I can get it sent to me. really great to be able to learn from your experience so a big thanks 👍
Ahh really appreciate that. The return on repair videos kinda sucks, but I know they can be really helpful to just have available for people to find for years to come...so good luck!
You made the process look easy, yet fun, so kudos for that. I agree that it's a great update to what was already a great/mildly quirky synth. Don't sell it.
Cheers, thanks! I wish I could keep everything, but I've gotta keep things moving, for content if anything
Tauntek? More like good tech.
You're getting faster lmao
Great job! Love the scope 😁
Cheers thanks!
I love incorporating the scope, just helps get everything across.
This video didnt ~desperately~ need it, but I had it around already, might as well make more of the screen real estate valuable.
Done this mod on a few AX60 including the slider mod. Totally worth it.
Looks like you need to keep both AX too!
Oh no, I probablly will..LOL
Yeah, what did you feel with the hardware slider taper mod as opposed to the tauntek software fix?
I beta tested the Tauntek mod for the OSCar, it's great.
Ohh i bet that's really dope
@@JorbLovesGear Yeah. Some extra midi functions, more preset banks (a few sounds are mine) and importantly: extra stability.
On the subject of this kind of thing the Electribe ER-1 custom Shaman Firmware is absolute Insanity!
I'm not familiar! I've been meaning to get my hands on an electribe, but I havent been looking super hard.
Okay wow, now I want this thing. Damn it, Jorb!
LOL video success, support Tauntek.
Hello - do you know where to get another of those IC12 - (legs are cut now) ?
I tried to follow your instructions - and yeah well, I messed up some how, the main fuse 1.6a is burning off all the time - just wanna get my synth back - trying to get pro help, but nobody wants to touch it now
I love modifying gear. I'm just getting started on my Duotron and Delay Mono from Korg
Oh those are great to mod. Yeah, I want to get cooking on some more mods, I have the skillset to modify these things, i really should do it more
Did this mod give the AX-60 the features of the AX-73? Or is the 73 still the more featured synthesizer of the group?
They're pretty similar before and after, nearly the same options, really.
The big win for the 73 is the velocity, really helps make a patch feel alive.
@@JorbLovesGear Doesn't the Tauntek mod give the AX-60 velocity? Atleast over midi, right?
@@kenzieprice6745 that is right, from an external board!
@@JorbLovesGear I think with this mod, the AX-60 becomes the best of it's family. All of the features with a better control interface.
I may have to try this. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. I love the AX-60. I do have a problem with hooking up the akai s612 sampler. Everything hooks up correctly but the voices coming thru aren't fluent on all keys and it's hit and miss with them sounding out. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Thanks.
My x7000 needs to be omni off, and monophonic patch mode.
Not sure if the settings are the same, but I think I know what you're describing!

Is this the chungus comment?
job can you remake the patch for spy kids by 6dogs. I saw that it was made with a DeepMind 12
Just gave it a listen, check out my lofi sound design vid, that should cover a lot of the stuff I'm hearing in there...good luck!
Having trouble getting in touch with him. Does anyone have a more recent email address?
website seems to still be operational
