Shuriken Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I was wondering if anybody has any experience with cutting up a keybed? I have project in mind which (i think) requires a 37 keys keybed. Now the usual places do not seem to sell any fatar 37 keybeds anymore. So it might be easier and cheaper to find a donor midi controller. However 37 key variants are not that common. I read on the MI forum that a guy there just cut up the keybed of a Behringer UMX 49 controller. He also mentions that he performs such an action on a 61 keybed as well. Unfortunately the source is no longer active on the forum, so i cannot ask him. So maybe someone here has some experience with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem! Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I've done this here --> http://midibox.org/forums/topic/19776-connecting-fatar-61-df-keyboard/ without any probs. After proving the conductive paths, I have shorted the lowest octave of a 61 key Fatar TP/8S keybed with df contacts. There were 2 broken keys. Eventually for a 37 key-bed it's possible to use only one of the df-pcbs, but that depends on the kind of fixation, the holding and holes. Best regards, clem!
