ChanServ changed the topic of ##yamahasynths to: Channel dedicated to questions and discussion of Yamaha FM Synthesizer internals and corresponding REing. Discussion of synthesis methods similar to the Yamaha line of chips, Sound Blasters + clones, PCM chips like RF5C68, and CD theory of operation are also on-topic.

<Sarayan> whitequark, are you around?
<whitequark> Sarayan: yes
<Sarayan> wife says the package just arrived back home
<whitequark> uh
<Sarayan> (I'm in switzerland for the week)
<Sarayan> yeah, "uh"
<whitequark> i don't even know
<Sarayan> I'll try again with chronopost instead, *and* your phone number
<whitequark> i swear it would be easier for me to pick it up personally
<whitequark> except i can't really travel so
<Sarayan> I'll add one or two other chips I happen to have, an ym (don't remember which) and a cat702 if I can find it
<whitequark> cool!
<Sarayan> Don't have much of anything anymore, but heh
<Sarayan> Any hopes for your mirror btw?
<whitequark> it is done for quite some time... but i am not able to pick it up
<whitequark> and roommate hasn't found time yet
<whitequark> it's kind of a real pain
<Sarayan> isn't aligning it a funky problem too?
<Sarayan> but yeah, panic attacks are no joke
<Sarayan> and whoever says you need to power through it needs to be hit with a cudgel, repeateadly
<whitequark> Sarayan: i contracted a guy who repairs these scopes for a living
<whitequark> it was pretty cheap all things considered
<whitequark> so he ordered an original amscope part and he knows exactly how to align it
<whitequark> unfortunately... amscope... did not do a very good job on the rest of the scope
<whitequark> it's actually askew
<whitequark> like, you *can't* align it fully
<whitequark> because the casting is shit or something like that
<whitequark> possibly machining
<whitequark> but it gives significantly better results now so i'm thinking it might just be enough
<whitequark> the second problem is mounting the table
<Sarayan> oh, you mean you gave him the scope, it's not just the mirror you need back
<whitequark> i might just make some bodge, because i really can't afford a different scope now, or machining for a new table for this one
<Sarayan> makes sense
<whitequark> ye
<whitequark> like i have the motorized stages
<whitequark> and the drivers even i think
<whitequark> probably going to unmount the existing table and shim the sample into place with pieces of paper or some other shit like that
<Sarayan> as long as it doesn't vibrate
<whitequark> yea
