Viewing the slow LCD display updates next to VFDs has become quite a burden lately :-)
I haz made some successful color-altering tests with color foil, which creates great red character output from a standard vfd...
Of course it is not a cheap modification, but the mb6582 is my fav synth currently... so the question is...
Has anyone successfully installed a 4x20 VFD in a MB6582?
Noritake advertises some as LCD drop-in replacement alternatives...
