Another beauty via §ILLON§, who brought us the custom KORG Legacy MS20 controller below, as well as the custom Casio SK5 posted here."Note that this is however not the final version. Nice woodside panels will be used and there is a paint job to do on the keyboard metal panel. But basically you'll get the picture and it's fully working.
For the tech part:
- change the sliders caps to match colorful original Arp Odyssey caps- added a 25 keyboard with aftertouch (originally a E-mu Xboard 25).
- Unit has now its dedicated volume slider.
- The three led switchs under pitch and mod wheels correspond to: Octave - / Latch / Octave +
- The three little pots next to volume sliders correspond to: pitch bend range / aftertouch to filter range / aftertouch to pitch range.
- The 2 switchs next to the pots correspond to: env retrigger / last note mode
It was very easy to do the job actually. The E-mu is a great controller and very resistant. I unsoldered most of the pots and while doing that I had a strange feeling: I was here unsoldering knobs from a midi keyboard because I had too much of them, and I remembered those days when you would have sold your mother to get a midi keyboard with just two real time controllers."
The thin wood side panels remind me of the Orange and Black Odyssey. Very nice work. I love it. Click here for one more shot and be sure to click on the images above for the full sized shots.
