Yamaha DD-5 40 pt + cd-rom patchbay

This is the Yamaha DD-5 that I got for $25 I think, and as of now I haven’t burned it up yet =] I’m currently creating the cd-rom patch bay for use with this. I’m going to connect all the IC pins via an IDE cable hardwired to the box. Just need to get a really fine tipped solder for doing this IC. Coming soon.

Patch bay work in progress. After the dot layouts and before my horrible drilling

 

Some of the supplies for the patch bay.

About $6 at home depot for 100 nuts and bolts. Could make 2 40-pin patchbays and have some leftovers for body contacts etc.. Have some washers around here somewhere too.
