Time to spice up the display of my S2400 sampler. Easy job that cost around $20. I’ve also posted my SVG file that you can take to the laser cutter service to get your own wooden border. Get it here here at https://www.musicbycatabolic.com/s2400-display-screen-upgrade-free-resource/. Enjoy!

Rare cartridges for Yamaha RX5 drum machine
Not too long ago I did a video on button repair for the Yamaha RX5. I happened to be browsing eBay and I saw a (very expensive) auction for an RX5. The auction includes two very rare cartridges that add TR 808 and TR 909 sounds to the RX5. They were produced by Metra Sound in Germany which also produced other Yamaha cartridges. There doesn’t seem to be any pictures of these cartridges available anywhere so here they are for your viewing pleasure.
They are bigger than the the usual cartridges and one of them here is taped together.
Quite a lot of money for sounds everyone can get for a few dollars on an iPad but the cartridges themselves are an interesting piece of music history. Enjoy the photos and drop me a line if you win this auction 🙂
Repairing the buttons on the Yamaha RX-5 drum machine
This Yamaha RX-5 needed some TLC. The buttons were not responding so well any more, especially the Edit Voice button. Here’s the fix.
