Cut your microkorg !

I can do it for you but I live in Switzerland and the shipping and forwarding fees are huge. Think about it.

Because the keyboard is too small, because mine had two dead keys after 15 years of loyal service, I decided to cut it!

It was not complicated:

1. Disassemble the synthesizer
2. Unplug and remove the keyboard, pitch and modulation
3. Cut to the cutter at the edge of the front edge of both sides
4. Cut the bottom cover to raz the screw holes
5. Reassemble everything
6. Cut a plate for the front and fix it with small recovery screws

The last thing and can be the most complicated is to put resistors instead of the wheel of the pitch and modulation because otherwise the microkorg is all detuned down. In this case, resistors works like a tension divider.

Value is absolutly equal but need to bee the same. Ex: 10K-10K or 220-220 or any value that you have in stock.

For one and for the other, just cut the 6 son then do as follows and reconnect everything on the motherboard.
