Thread Starter | Roland 100M TROUBLE!!!!!!
So today I was in choir class and I noticed that there was a 100m modular synth just chillin in the corner. Needless to say, I was extremely interested in the beast. So I went to talk to my teacher, wondering if she'd let me play with it. She did better, SHE GAVE IT TO ME!!!!!!! ****YESSSSSS There are two cases with about 7 modules in each, but this is not why I'm posting today. to connect the cases to one another I need to use each of the cases expander ports, but one of the cases has a broken expander port!!!! I'm almost upset about this, but I'm willing to invest in the beast if I can fix the problem. Does anyone know how I would go about fixing this problem!? Without a fix I can't play! :( Thanks ahead youtube.com/xytothedoubleg |

You don´t want that old crap. I can trade you a more modern synthesizer. Korg M1 is what you want. It is very analog and fat. It even has a display !! WT

I had a 100M, but I can't remember the connection details. Can you power up both cabinets and contained modules with their own mains plugs? If you can power up both cabs, using the system is a doddle. It's a modular system, so you need lots of mini-jack leads. The system is conveniently internally connected, but as long as each module receives power you can use it as a conventional modular. BTW, very nice system!

i presume you're talking about standard 191J cases for the 100m ? they house five modules. If so you don't need to have the cases interconnected with the din cable - it just makes a few things more simple. The Din Cable sends CV and Gate from the keyboard to the modules that commonly use these signals but you can still patch all of the stuff from the front using standard mono mini jacks. If you have a Roland 181 keyboard designed to go with the 100m racks then this would be perfect for using the din connector to one of the racks... but hear again not essential by any means as all of the outputs are available via jack points. What modules do you have in your system Many congrats on your wonder windfall ! Beer. |

if it's just a standard din connector, then it shouldn't really be that hard to just replace it.

 BTW The 112 has two Oscillators, that's two modules in one unit. And other units like the 150 has even four. Therefore about 7 modules per case (3 or 5 units) is a possibility.  Understanding modulars is a biatch!

The OP could be counting 2 sections per physical 'module', plus the bottom PSU / mults, so that is (3x2) + 1 = 7.
