How is the Kronos keyboard connected to the motherboard? And with what type of connector?
I was wondering if it was possible to recover the entire Kronos and completely change the interior with new components. Except the circuits which are intended for the keyboard and control interface.
Ideally a new motherboard + processor + touch screen audio card + and all the connections.
Thanks to those who can answer me

Have look at this - should answer most of your question…

Now let’s think of a reason why it CAN be done...
It's connected via RS-232 via a motherboard header I believe - which is nice from a latency perspective. I believe the Nautilus may have changed this design.
Current Equipment:
Korg Kronos 2 88, Reface CS, Roland JV-1080, TE OP1, Moog Subsequent 37, Korg ARP Odyssey, Allen & Heath Zed 18, Adam F5, MOTU MIDI Express XT, Lexicon MX200 & MPX1, Yamaha QY700, Yamaha AW16G, Tascam DP008ex, Zoom H6, Organelle, Roland J6 & JU06A
Previous: Triton LE 61/Sampling/64MB/4GB SCSI, MS2000BR, Kronos 1 61, Monotribe, NanoKontrol, NanoKeys, Kaossilator II, Casio HT3000, Roland VP-03, Reface DX, Novation Mininova, MPC One

Hi CliveJ and SeedyLee
Great
Thank you for these responses.
All I have to do is find a cheap end-of-life Kronos on the internet.
I could get him some coins in case he showed signs of fatigue.
The cover and keyboard will be intended for my new project.
A VST keyboard with controller and touch screen.
A+ FM FRED

My Dreams VSt Kronos surface Control.
This is what I would like it to look like for my future Kronos VST.
A keyboard with a maximum of controllers and a large touch screen.
