I am only sharing the dumps hoping that they will be useful to peoples. *Keep in mind that I do not own any of those Synth and can't test the data myself nor can I answer specific questions about them.
If you have access to any other chip dump, contact me! Also, if you have a synth with a firmware or sample chip you would like to have dumped and preserved, contact me and I will be happy to help out reading the chip content for you and share it on the page. I just haven't managed to find the time yet to do all this so bear with me as I figured that sharing the data was the main purpose of the page and that I better share what I have like this compared to wait to do it more properly and not share anything until. Things like standardization of the filenames, proper credit, better classification, proper database and more information about the chips used is currently lacking but I am planning to fix this in the future. Now I understand that this page is pretty simple and lacks several things that would make it more professional and useful.
This page became much more popular than I originally anticipated and seem to have quickly become the biggest vintage synthesizer firmware collection freely available online. This is my attempt at resolving the situation and making as many firmware dumps as possible freely available for everyone. Most of the time, if you are looking to upgrade or repair your favourite synth, you might find some firmware buried deep in synth forum's while some other seems to only be available by buying very overpriced preprogramed EPROM chip from sellers on eBay. B744/B731 at Q1/Q3 look fine.I noticed that firmware dump for vintage synth can be incredibly hard to come by unless you know exactly where to look. Just taking a look around and found that the Transistor D794A at Q18 looks burned at one of the pins. Any thoughts, ideas, or places to begin my repair efforts? Info would be much appreciated. I tried looking around for posts with similar symptoms but wasn't too successful. It has the Moog Slayer mod on the filter and looks like it has the internal battery mod as well. In Tape mode it doesn't seem to want to Load, Verify, or Save, regardless of the level at which I play back the data. I reseated all cable connectors and IC's. Headphone output is but some scratchy noise as I rotate the Vol. If I power it on With TAPE enabled and then switch it off. If i try to power it without TAPE enabled I get a blank screen and nothing else. It powers up via batteries and PSU, but ONLY in Tape Interface mode. Was going to give this to a friend to mess around with but he's too busy. Picked up a Korg Poly 800 MK1 on CL today for parts or repair.
