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.

Custom KORG Legacy MS20 Controller
Title link takes you to shots via this auction. via §ILLON§.
"This is your chance to get a unique piece of gear. It's a modified KORG MS20i USB MIDI keyboard. Originally part of KORG LEGACY COLLECTION bundle. The keyboard has been cosmetically modified in order to get a more compact and vintage looking little beast. Wooden side panels have been added, replacing the original plastic ones (which are included in package too)
It is possible to go back to the original design at any time because no hole has been drilled or metal parts bent. In less than fifteen minutes of unscrewing/screwing you're back to the original design (see last picture).
In excellent condition and of course working perfectly. Comes with patch jacks, USB cable and original parts. NO SOFTWARE INCLUDED. Keyboard should work with main virtual instruments. No driver is required to use the keyboard under Windows XP.
This is a great looking 37 velocity sensitive USB powered MIDI keyboard with 36 knobs to control your favorite software or hardware. It doesn't produce sound on its own, you need a computer and software to use it."

Update: Looks like this is actually the Prototype. To start, look at the panel graphics in relation to the pitch and mod wheels vs. the images on the DSI site, then look at the rest.
