On a bit of a roll tonight, clearing the backlog. This MC-202 came in for a Tubbutec MC-2oh2 upgrade. This requires a little bit of SMT rework, but it absolutely transforms the simple MC-202 into a top-notch groovebox! 😊

So - new processor, new keyboard, new OLED display module fitted, plus a handful of simple mods to the existing board. Done and looking and sounding glorious!

This (very yellow) MC-202 had another MC-2oh2 upgrade installed and goes out to one of our beta-testers!

Testing #mc2oh2 and having fun. Here syncing to a #rolandtr606 and using the sequencer and arpeggiator.

Assembled #mc2oh2 boards finally arrived. 😃 (had to wait waaaay to long)
This means we can now install them for our beta testers and get one step closer to a finished product.

We forgot an important board cutout in the MC-2oh2 keyboard PCB. Luckily pur CNC mill comes to the rescue!

Korg Mini-Pops 7 (1971) + Arturia BeatStep Pro (2019) + Tubbutec Unipulse (2023) = pure bliss.

It’s amazing how adding modern MIDI connectivity makes these vintage beatboxes come alive! You can see that the Unipulse allows you to sync the Korg perfectly to MIDI clock, as well as having it obey Start/Stop in the normal way, as well as mapping in the 12+ individual voices to the BeatStep triggers.

The Korg Mini-Pops 7 - the legendary Jarre drum machine from Oxygène. This is almost unique in having that “Quijada” sound. The original instrument is made from a donkey’s jawbone and teeth.

Sadly, this arrived very broken and inspection revealed it to be a decades-old cat pee victim. Now - it’s cleaned up and largely restored, and fully working again. We’ve also fitted the excellent @tubbutec Unipulse MIDI adaptor.

@mxtthxw it’s the famous Jarre “Oxygène” drum sound! Definitely an instrument well worth saving. There are so few left alive now.

This is the second in as many months, BTW, and this one will get a #Tubbutec MIDI interface when it’s finished.

Tester for the MC-2oh2 CPU replacement 'main board'. The tiny PCB is assembled on both sides and has 64 1mm pitch castellated holes.
The tester uses springy pins, similar to the ones used by @arturo182 to interface the board. 1mm pitch is challenging but just about managable. On the bottom, two additional JST 1mm pitch connectors are connected and those signals tested as well. (1 year old, but haven't posted it here yet)

Testing setup for the MC-2oh2 keyboard/display panels.
All buttons need to be pressed once to make sure they are working properly .
The final boards (coming soon will have gold plated contacts)

Happy holidays!
