It’s an authentic recreation of the original 1980s “System 100M” circuitry, designed to fit seamlessly into a standard Eurorack case. Best of all, it’s budget-friendly!

Yamaha – MX-88 – Synthesizer Notes

October 16, 2025 by Kenneth Jackson Leave a Comment

I originally purchased the Yamaha MX-88 for use as a stage piano for visiting musicians. The Yamaha MX-88 is a Yamaha Motif with a crappier interface and MIDI implementation. The sound engine is identical and hackable.

Local Control

  1. Press [UTILITY] button
  2. Select “02:MIDI” by using the cursor [∧]/[∨] buttons
  3. Press [ENTER] button. 
  4. Select “LocalCtrl” = “off” [ENTER].

Warning! When this instrument is used by itself and this parameter is set to off, no sound is produced even if you play the keyboard.

Ornament and Crime (o_C) – Notes

April 25, 2025 by Kenneth Jackson Leave a Comment

Polymorphic CV Generator

Clone Ornament and Crime Polymorphic Generator 2020

The Ornament & Crime (O_C) Eurorack Module is a collaborative open-source project by Patrick Dowling, Max Stadler (mxmxmx), and Tim Churches, originally designed as a quantizing ASR but expanded into a multi-purpose platform.

Ornament & Crime is a versatile, polymorphic control voltage (CV) generator that offers a variety of “apps” as part of its firmware. These apps can be selected on-the-fly without rebooting the module, making it a powerful tool for modular synthesis. Below is a list of the apps currently available in the standard Ornament & Crime firmware, based on its official documentation as of the latest known version (v1.3.x).
