No f’n clue what the hell is going on here but I love it.
Nice. I wonder how many synths out there have a shell accessible through MIDI, I should get one.
Its definitly interesting. Never would have thought of using midis for that haha.
Well since one can pack anything in custom sysex messages, might as well try posting to lemmy through midi.
I own a Yamaha PSR E403. This series is a lower end class of synthetizer/arranger keyboards targeted towards novice players. Mine also has an identical UI to the one presented here. I wonder if the hack would work on it as well, being a similar model.
My better keyboard is a Yamaha CP88 which is a lot more modern and has updatable firmware. I poked a bit with the update package using binwalk and as far as I could tell it’s not encrypted, and runs some version of QNX. My hacking skills aren’t as good, but I wonder if that one has similar exploits.
Looks yours is a 6 years older version of the same thing, so I think there’s a decent chance the same thing will work. The tools are on the author’s github: https://github.com/portasynthinca3/swl01u/blob/bf50f89b1d28701791a4866ef97944513e8c6a1c/shell.py
