Title: Link Yamaha PSS 270 and PSS 570 together? (data lines)
Post by: Boomchikawawa on September 12, 2012, 06:15:19 PM
Hi guys, I have a Yamaha PSS570 and PSS270, and I know they both work with the data line cut mod but I haven't done it. My question is, could I get good results if I crossed over the 8 data streams from one keyboard to the other?

For example:

8 data lines from 570 CPU into the sound chip of the 270 and vice versa?

ANY help on this would be great! Thanks guys, happy bending!

Have you done anything similar? I'd need to deeply disassemble both keyboards to do this, I don't wanna make a mess of both keyboards just to find out it doesn't work  ;D what kind of results should I expect?

Connect the common grounds between them, to keep things nice and safe.

i did it with the pss270 in conjunction with several other keyboards, i made the data cut mod in a patchbay. it is unpredictable fun.
maybe a resistor in the link(s) to be save
