I couldn’t really make a “how to” video because the number of ways old computers can fail is tremendously large. But I would love to do some technical videos explaining how a computer like the Prime Time 97 functions and where to start when it’s acting up!
@@foleytronics Yes please!!! I am skipping these kind of repairs for now (passed a few eventide devices on) but then again I am restoring a Hungarian 16 track tape machine rn where the CPU board is giving problems :) All the best, Tobi
@@12bitizthewaytogo92 The lights show whether the polarity of the outputs are inverted or not. If you press and hold the "INV" button and then press buttons 1 thru 5, the corresponding light will turn on (or off). Craig Anderton from The Digital Delay Handbook: “The feedback phase switch is most useful with short delay effects (principally flanging and chorusing). In-phase (positive) feedback gives a more metallic flanged sound, while out-of-phase (negative) feedback gives a hollower, whooshing sound.” “At longer delays, out-of-phase feedback can sometimes interact negatively with your straight signal and produce a thinner sound. With long echoes, always choose in-phase feedback.”
Thanks for sharing this. Really cool going through everything, and what wild sounds.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's definitely a lot of fun to play with.
Thanks, great demo :)
Thank you!!
great demo, thanks for sharing
pleeease show how you repair these old digital devices 🥺

whats the point of those top 1-5 lights I noticed nothing "lite" up at all during the demo
I know two of them were for phase inversion, I can’t remember the function of the other ones. 🤷♂️
@@foleytronics ok thanks im still trying to fig mine out gotta spend more time with it!
