Hi, I've seen quite a few MicroKorg's conversions...in general I see people are not happy about these small keys. Some conversions created only a new look of the classic synth. I didn't like the keyboard either, so I decided to put my microKorg into a new case, give it a three-octave "normal size" keys and add the processor effect that is missing in the original synth: the reverb. I have to admit, it's not my first conversion. Some time ago I've mad a 4-octave MicroKorg, but the keyboard had own midi controller and it was connected via midi to the synth. This time I simply wanted to replace the original keyboard with the bigger keys. It wouldn't fit the old case, so I had to design a new one to fit everything in. Unfortunately I cannot add a photo of my new MicroKorg here...

I have seen those pens, that is a good idea. I really should get one. Out of interest how are you fining tuning the harmonium?

Hey Dean, this is the best MicroKorg desktop conversion I have seen so far, nicely done, almost looks factory! I think those MicroKorg keys are awful though, but I guess it was a budget piece of gear aimed at hobbyists!

Thank you Andy! I don't mind the little keys, though it does get a lot more fun on a full size keyboard.

I was able to glue those broken white keyboard (not on korg but on casio, but the point is the same) using wicking grade superglue (very low viscosity) and baking soda trick. Basically: push the broken key where it should bee, sprinkle baking soda on the joint, then drop a few drops of the superglue. The baking soda will become basically a rock solid build-up material within a second. Using baking soda and LV superglue can be used in many other applications where you need to build up surface.

Thanks for this cool tutorial! I was wondering how many front plates (short and normal) does one need to print in order to cover everything?

I don't get why you went through the trouble of re-attaching the mod and pitch wheels since most controllers will have their own :P Pretty neat though!

That is a fair point ☝️

Chiming in a bit late here to mention that, apparently, if you just leave that header unplugged on the inside, everything gets all detuned and you'd have to chain up a couple 10k resistors between the three pitch bend wires, and then another two between the three modulation wires, just to cap off that connection. Seems we've avoided soldering with this option!

i modded mine to have a standard power plug, the same as pedal, so i don't need fancy power supply
