Re: Replacement Power Supply for QY100
|
QYs are well known for being pretty flexible on voltage, but I think the actual Yamaha branded one (PA-3C I think was the model number, but do double check me on that) was 10 volts, but anywhere from 9v to 12v should work solidly and consistently (just make sure the polarity is correct). ?I think any Adaptor that can generate 700ma at (at least) 9volts should provide enough juice (more is of course not an issue for amperage...it takes only what it needs).
You can probably go all the way down to 5v from what I¡¯ve seen but I don¡¯t know if I would push it that hard as the reliability might suffer (like you might increase the chances of having ?an error during a write operation and corrupt your saves for example). ?Plus I have no idea how many milliamps the internal regulator would try to pull at a lowly 5v. -- The Yamaha QY70 / Yamaha QY100 User Group??- A forum for the best band in a box synthesizer/sequencers ever created on the planet earth.
