Re: PLG150DX on Motif Rack ES sets all voices to Silence

Well, after some time digging through the PLG150-DX manual and the MOTIF-RACK ES manual, I managed to somehow solve this. Probably this is a trivial setup for those well versed with Yamaha products, but in my case it took me some time to figure out how to configure the plug-in cards so the MOTIF-RAC...

Re: Can the TG500 firmware be upgraded

The 27C4001 should be fine, just check that the speed rating is at least equal to or faster than the TG500 requirement (don't have that to hand, sorry) although that is a low probability for this issue. Again a low probability but perhaps get another copy of the firmware, ideally with a checksum to...

Re: Can the TG500 firmware be upgraded

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to try an MCD64 card to add some additional banks, however, when I inserted the card the TG500 got restarted and then got stuck in the boot screen, I tried the second slot and same result. Somehow it occurred to me that maybe it has to do with the firmware, so I went a...

Re: Can the TG500 firmware be upgraded

You do know you will need an EPROM and an EPROM programmer to do this, right? Right, and I'm glad to report that I managed to upgrade to the latest version, I didn't have an 27C040 as suggested, but I had a blank 27C4001 and works fine as equivalent! BTW, thanks Miks for sharing me a copy of the fi...

Re: Can the TG500 firmware be upgraded

Hello fellow TG500 owners, I've been following this forum for a too many years to read & learn about some particularities with a Motif ES Rack but recently got a TG500 which comes with the 1.10 version, thus was wondering if anyone here could be kindly to share the version 1.20.

Thank you!
