CMS Author MikeRivers Posted February 8, 2011 CMS Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 A guy that I worked with had one and he brought it in to show us one day. He also had a Casio SK-1. He was really good at troubleshooting minicomputers (his real job) and repairing TV sets (his home business). He built a lot of Heathkits - his TV set and microwave oven were Heathkit), so he enjoyed the slightly more challenging PAIA Strings n Things kit.

Members rainbird Posted February 8, 2011 Members Share Posted February 8, 2011 I actually built one, back in the day. I remember being more impressed by the fact that I had actually put it together than I was with the way it sounded. Gave it to a friend less than a year later.

I read the whole article and I even learned a few things. I recently gutted an old organ that a neighbor gave me (it was in bad shape) and I was mindblown how complicated the wiring and such was. The way he described everything really helped me understand a lot of what I was looking at when I dismantled that thing. Great read! Thanks for sharing, Tech!

Members ggm1960 Posted February 10, 2011 Members Share Posted February 10, 2011 The only PAIA experience I had was putting together a MIDI interface IDE card for PC back around 91-92. The project came to my attention from an article in Radio Electronics magazine. I spent a few extra dollars to get the dual port kit. It worked real well with Cakewalk in DOS but became obsolete as everything began switching to Windows because it wasn't MPU-401 compatiable and no one could/would write a Windows driver for it. It was sad because I was only able to use it for a short time before it got tossed onto the obsolete tech pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
