Here we have an awsome custom SK-1 by Diabolical Devices it has been cut down and modified to fit into a standard 19" rack and is about 4-5 rack spaces wide (top to bottom). This is a custom modification and will not be duplicated (by us....) In addition to custom rack ears two plates were custom made to house modifications.

The first plate which is located were the speaker once was consist of 1/4" main audio output, 1/8" sampling input, MIDI input (www.highlyliquid.com) and 1/8" individual outputs for Drums, Bass, and Lead, when one of these jacks is used that voice is removed from the main mix, these jacks can also be used to mute a particular voice from the main output by inserting a cable into corresponding jack.

The second plate which is located were the lowest 7 keys once were has a 15 point 1/8" patch-bay. These are the circuit-bending points, linking patch locations with provided patch cables will unlock an endless variety of crazy effects, playable bends and outright bizarre sounds. the video below should give you some idea of what this devices is capable of.

This custom modification also includes front access DC power connector (this device runs off DC power adapter only) and blue LED color change. There are custom painted buttons and the keys got a cool reverse paint job." Also see this one.
