I'm planning on building myself a home studio, and by this I mean collecting all the gear I have lying around here and there. I will be building the desk myself in oak wood, so that all the equipment will fit perfectly and I can have the different units (instruments and other gear) where I want them. Since I'm a mechanical engineer I have access to CAD software, and I plan on modelling the entire studio in 3D to make it easier to customize the workdesk itself.

So I've been searching around online to see if I could find a 3D model of the Kronos, but all I could find was a video of someone modeling the 61 key version (but no downloadable content). I can model it myself, but the only dimensions I could find is the overall dimensions on Korg's priduct info pages:

(W x D x H) 1455 x 411 x 145 mm (http://www.korg.com/us/products/synthesizers/kronos_x/page_5.php)

Does anyone know if more detailed dimensions are available somewhere online?

Thanks!

I highly doubt you will find a document like that online.

If your able to 3D model, then why not place a photo of the KRONOS onto a flat quad. You can overlay your model with that quad and use that as a point of reference for everything.

No need to have measurements when you can trace directly off the photo.

Regards
Sharp.

Using a reference image is a good idea Smile

I’ll se if I can find front, side and top image of the Kronos and go from there.

Why not laser scan? Cool

Access to engineering software... I highly suggest you don't bother with those, and just download SketchUp (it's free). It has all you need to make a model of your future studio and bounce ideas around. It's dead easy to input accurate dimensions and make anything from simple models quickly, to complicated models fairly easily.

You can use the 3D warehouse to input finished models (there's many musical instruments and equipment on there, sadly no Kronos), and you can learn the software very quickly. Three tips: Don't bother with detailed modeling, just make sure you're inputing the right dimensions; check that the 3D warehouse models are the right dimensions as well and correct them if necessary. 2: make HEAVY use of "make component" 3: there's nothing wrong with pen and paper, make lots of sketches before you delve into modeling

I'd love to do a 3D scan, but my money is better spent elsewhere Very Happy

As for SketchUp, I've never used that before but I do use SolidWorks on a daily basis as I'm working in product development. The hardest thing with making a model would be to find the time for it!

And thanks for the tip, I'll take a look at 3D warehouse (even if no Kronos yet) Smile

Wow, some good stuff there Sharp.

How do you go about using Photogrammetry, what software did you use?

Hello,

You can download some 3D stuff in 3D Warehouse (Sketchup) :
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/

I already seen a KRONOS over there :
