Thank you ! Last night I had fun pretending to play an actual MS-20. The screen angle helps quite a bit to be more precise, including connecting wires on the MS-20 patch panel. |

Wow!
I'm not even brave enough to add a second SSD myself! This is beyond my technical skills by light years. _________________ Sam

Hi Sam and thank you for the comments. Adding a second SSB as a slave device is not very complicated on older Kronos models. On a Kronos 2, it is more difficult as you have to remove more things (front fender/bumper, then the action, then a protective metal plate). So if you have an older Kronos, that would be a nice first mod to do. Or a local electronics/computer tech could do it for you. |

A bit more info about my mod. Since there is no room to install a laptop-type variable tilt hinge on the Kronos without compromising the original look (which for me was very important to keep), the only way to have the screen at a given angle is to install little foldaway sticks which hide under the extremely cramped space under the LCD. Every cubic millimeter under there is counted.

Hi 1002 and thank you for your nice comments. Since I've done this mod, I have to admit I like my Kronos even more. |

Thank you narf and Drummond !
Yes, the little pot and button in the main joystick section are part of a previous mod to optimize the aftertouch (AT) response. To initiate/start the AT on the 88-key models, it can take quite a bit of pressure so by adding a simple circuit to the existing op-amp one dedicated to AT, the threshold can be reached more easily and the whole AT becomes more responsive. |

So does this logically suggest you could do a video out ?
to a touchscreen tablet or ...? _________________ if they start to push your buttons...
stop sewing them on. |
