PSS 680 direct output

aetios has brought a Yamaha PSS 680 to the space and he wants to add a direct output to the FM chip in this synthesizer. He has no idea about electronics but luckily a cool guy on youtube has made a complete rundown of his version of the mod:

This seems alright to do.

Materials needed:

transformator for isolating ground
shielded instrument cable
a jack socket
some 100 ohm resistors

tools required:

soldering iron
hole drill

Patch point were verified and seem to work.

Status: one end of a shielded instrument cable is now soldered to the patch points.

-I want to test whether the direct output (with no transformer) is any good? (probably not, but i might learn something!)
+Patch point were verified and seem to work.
-current next step: acquire shielded instrument cable. (can probably cannibalise one of my patch cables)
+Status: one end of a shielded instrument cable is now soldered to the patch points.
