Hello Asena,

I Think this keyboard is still in the Shop so there is maybe different keyboards
of the Land from delivery

Because i think if you see normally it's something like a white plastic by the Bender

so i hope mister Paolo can help us for the right answer

sorry about my english

Dirk

I don't think it's camera problem, we clearly see 4 blue leds on pitch bend...

Yes it is certainly looks the same pitch bend device as on the M3/Kronos...

I suspect it is a cable that has been left unattached. The pitch bend parts are easily accessible via removal of the left end cheek panels, so I might have a look and see whats what. It is only 6 screws.

Okay, had a look....I reckon these guys (in the video) have replaced the PA3 pitch bend device with the M3 pitch bend device.

I had a good look at the one one the PA3, and there are no visible LEDs underneath located in the 4 positions as shown in that video. I shone a backlight under the white plastic and there is nothing there except white plastic!!

Plus a close examination by eye revealed nothing even remotely looking like LED housings.

i was the first one who opened it , and i know there is no leds, but if, Only IF you guyz want LED, You can change it to M# PB part by ordering it!From KORG of course.

I heard that Korg decided not to put leds on Pa3x bender!

Personally, I prefer not to have leds just to avoid having problems later!!

Vex , I think a led panel with advertisements could be a better solution that could raise your reward in GIGs !

This is a 6 x 3 array of 3 color LEDs with a chip module controller (usually unmounted from Christmas tree led lights)
The exact function with fading out-in seems to be a Little more complicated to design without e-rom , but a
CMOS decade counter with reset at 4 , a gate VLF oscillator and leds is the simple option to make it
if of course you deal with digital circuits !

I am thinking to use for gigs

I'l have cristmas keyboard during a whole year

I have friends here who are working at electronic engineering faculty ,I'm sure that they will help me around digital circuits

Thanks for the "christmas" tip
