Bits left over from PA800XR build - free - must collect.

Some of you may remember I made up a my own custom PA800XR keboard from a PA800, Studiologic VMK-161 Plus Organ and Roland Fantom XR, see here and here for pics :)

Anyway I had some bits left over which since I haven't used them after 18 months I would like to find a good home for them for someone who can collect them (please do not ask me to post them).

The bits are:
1. A PA800 keybed with semi weighted keys fitted from a studio logic SL-161 keyboard. I also have the original unweighted PA800 keys from the keybed which can be refitted easily.

2. The front panel and electronics from a Studiologic VMK-161 Plus Organ master keyboard. I also have the power supply and manual which are of no use to me. You do not necessarily need the power supply since it can be powered from the USB computer connection if you are using it. There is nothing dangerous in this because it is powered from a very low voltage (either via USB or the AC to DC adaptor).

Basically these two parts could either be made into a very cheap master keyboard with a little DIY (the connectors from the PA800 keybed (made by FATAR) fit into the controller. The only connector needed would be to connect the aftertouch strip into the controller. Alternatively the controller can be used stand alone to control a soft or hard synth giving you sliders / knobs / switches / pitch / mod lever etc.

Here is a picture of what I am talking about which might give you a better idea.

If someone has a genuine use for these and can pick them up then please leave me a message.

-Paul.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have changed it to a link, for some reason the embedded image didn't seem to work today, but it worked OK last night...weird.

OK now I understand, none of the links worked. It was becasue I had not made my google site public so when I signed out the links didn't even work for me :( . I have changed the permissions so you should be able to see the pictures now.
