Patching an embedded synthesiser OS from 1996 with Ghidra
This is very, very impressive.But I am almost existentially disappointed by the opening sentence - ‘For reasons I won’t get into’…It’s like - why?The reasons we drive ourselves to do these frankly insane hacking experiments are almost always as interesting as the process itself for me.The reason for that is - in this case - there are literally thousands of sampler synths with frankly a shitton more features than even what OP has implemented - why use this particular one?The turntablist community - for instance - vastly prefers a frankly ancient and specific model of turntable (Technical SL-1200 or equivalent) - therefore the community to mod and update this decades-old hardware is dedicated and does similarly amazing things.The SL-1200 is preferred for its build quality, it’s amazing motor, it’s weight; and it’s reliability.It however lacks some frankly essential features from newer turntables - reverse, ultrapitch, pitch lock, USB support - but it’s still the most highly sought after and standard unit for the craft.What makes this particular synthesizer the same - so valuable, so irreplaceable to OP’s craft - that drove them to such an insane level of deconstructing and reflashing the software? I, like - must know…XDI mean - cool flex - but why?
