The Soundbrush 55 from Roland is a MIDI player that reads files from floppy disks! A viewer owns the device - unfortunately, capacitors leaked and destroyed both motherboards inside the device! Today, we are going to restore both boards, play with a Yamaha Tone Generator - and have a brief look at what I will do in the coming videos! Happy new Year 2025 everyone!
