Do us Micromodular users count! YES!

Has anyone had any luck with Nomad or any other editor working on Mountain Lion or above? It would be great to use my micromodular on a more current platform.

What about the Mac version for Micro modular? Is it still just this http://www.nordkeyboards.com/downloads/legacy/nord-modular or is there now an update to take it to Mountain Lion at least?

Wish this would work with my setup. Booted into Lion with all other midi devices off including Firewire Digi002R interface and all I get is a big error code.

Just wanted to report that the OS 10 beta Editor will not run on 7.5.5 on my Mac Pro won't even boot…works on my other drive with Snow Leopard which is good…trouble is I've migrated completely to ...

You need to use the lowest ohms scale usually 200 or 400 ohms. Sounds like you used the 20 MegOhm scale. Measure again.

The digital multimeter I'm using has 2k, 20k, 200k, 2M, and 20M settings in t ...

No not to ground.
Measure across D4. Put one probe on one end of D4 and the other probe on the other end of D4.
Then switch the probes to measure D4 again. What resistance do you measure?

20m se ...

OK with your meter set to the lowest ohm scale measure across D4 with the power Off.
What do you get for a resistance ?

So do you mean cathode to diode on the D4 or does one lead go to ground?

PCB = Printed Circuit Board.
So in other words Motherboard

Do you have a meter?

Yes I have 2 a small yellow GE one and a borrowed larger Digital multimeter.

Where in NE are you located. I a ...

Not sure why your getting the error other than somehow something is shorted or open caused by the repair. Is the PCB double side? Maybe a via (feed through) was damaged when the battery was unsoldered ...

Gothboy

it looks like your diode is shorted. Did you measure ohms across it?

Well I hear you. What I don't get is if that is true why was I not getting the "Replace Battery!" error ...

Measure from one side of D4 to ground. If you can make sure it is the Anode side. You should get ~ 3 VDC.

I'm guessing the anode side is the metal pin that juts out of the top of D4. This is w ...

go here and look at the circuit diagram(schematics)

Hey thanks for the reply....the Battery was purchased from Yamaha and it comes in the holder. It is the one specifically for the DX7. We're all set on that.

The problem is I've twice soldered the ...

So I was wondering how you found the Venom and were you able to find a suitable way to program it? I just stumbled upon your post and was intrigued because when I first got it I wasn't pleased with i ...

I just took a DC reading and the battery checks out as being good. The battery has a + and - post and they simply fit into 2 tiny holes on the motherboard and then soldered so that it stays put but t ...
