cr1901 changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

<NiGHTS> Hans Baier sur Twitter : "After adding sending direct YM2151 commands over MIDI SysEx, I whipped up a quick VGM over MIDI player in python. Thanks to @whitequark for example code which this is based on… https://t.co/kH7BhXXVY0"

<NiGHTS> Pietro Gagliardi sur Twitter : "why are all the PDP/11s local pickup only and never in the new york city area"
<sorear> free as in piano
<qu1j0t3> Pietro: it's 2021
<qu1j0t3> they stoppped giving them out like candy like 1995
<andlabs> I don't get what either of you are saying
<qu1j0t3> andlabs: can probably find you one in NYC if you join retrocomputing communities, which ones are you part of now?
<qu1j0t3> (re pickup only: They're buggers to ship. :)
<cr1901> Frieght is an option, if expensive
<andlabs> oh yeah
<andlabs> and honestly I'd probably go for one of those desktop workstation ones instead anyway
<qu1j0t3> which one would that be?
<qu1j0t3> Terak?
<andlabs> no, the official DEC one
<qu1j0t3> which model?
<andlabs> there is one USSR one that looks like a MSX machine but isn't that I'd probably be interested in one day
<andlabs> I forget now
<andlabs> as for what communities I'm in, for the PDP: does a former 9fans memeber count?
<andlabs> otherwise I'm not in any really but I have amassed a colleciton that grows steadily
<andlabs> (it should stop growing now though; no more room)
<qu1j0t3> there are communities that deal directly in PDP-11. iirc #classicdec made the jump to libera
<qu1j0t3> but that's rather quiet
<qu1j0t3> andlabs: the soviet clone is BK Eletronika, right?
<qu1j0t3> they come up regularly on ebay, or used to

<andlabs> qu1j0t3: the joy of soviet clones is that there is no shortage in variety
* qu1j0t3 nods
<qu1j0t3> When You Care To Steal The Best, etc

<andlabs> good morning
<Sarayan> Not sure I'd dare touch that keyboard

<Lord_Nightmare> run it through the dishwasher if its that bad
<Foone> I suspect that's just yellowed because it's old, not because they've been smoking around it for 30 years

<madeline> that looks like an interesting machine
<madeline> i kind of want it
<madeline> because i can find so little info about it
<andlabs> oh good it's not just me that couldn't find info
<andlabs> the listing says it uses 8" disks so
<madeline> i _think_ it's some strange minicomputer
<andlabs> I'm sure it is =P
