Home Products Mods Setups Extra Contact
We also perform mods and upgrades to existing synth, keyboard, and pedal setups such as keybed upgrades, extra button/switch/pedal controls, and MIDI input on vintage synths that were made in the pre-MIDI era. Some of our favorite upgrades and customizations are shown here, so please take a look and let us know if you've got an idea for that sick synth mod!
Moog Subsequent 25 Module conversion
In this mod we converted a Moog Subsequent 25 keyboard version into a smaller module version
Custom MIDI Processor & Effects unit
In this unit we designed and built a custom MIDI effects processor with delay, auto-hold, auto-arp, and many other effects. The units firmware can be constantly updated as new effects are programmed, with the knobs & switches assignable to MIDI CC's as well as effects parameters
AKAI MX-73 Chop
In this mod we chopped an AKAI MX-73 down to 44 notes for better portability. We also installed & re-wired a brand new Fatar type keybed, as well as new switches & jacks
McGill Neuroscience organ synchronization trigger adapter
In this project we were contracted by McGill Neuro to design an organ trigger adapter for synchronization of brain monitoring experiments while performing music
MIDI Recorder module (MIDI-lector)
In this design we created a module version of the MIDI-lector MIDI recorder with SD-card input & MIDI thru
Hammond 25 Note pedalboard conversion:
In this mod we re-wired a Hammond XK 25 note pedalboard and added many functions including MIDI channel change, PR select, etc.
Roland D50 - Electro keybed transplant:
Here we removed the keybed from a classic Roland D50 synth, which is well known for having top-quality semi-weighted synth action, and re-wired and mounted it into a modern Nord Electro 5 keyboard. The result is a modern synth with the excellect action and feel of the D50!
Hammond XK2 - Crumar keybed transplant
In this mod we transplanted the keybed from a Hammond XK-2, also known for top-quality waterfall action, into a modern Crumar MOJO.
Prophet 5 MIDI input mod
In this mod re-wired the classic Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 synth to have a MIDI input for use with modern studio gear
Minimoog D modulation control pedal
Here we modified the classic Minimoog D to have foot-pedal control of the modulation wheel using a Yamaha FC7 pedal.
Roland A800-Pro Leslie switch control
In this upgrade we added a classic Leslie "Half-moon" style switch to a modern Roland A800-Pro Midi controller. The switch is assignable and can control any MIDI parameter (e.g., rotary control)
Nord Wave Leslie switch control
Similar to above, here we added a Leslie switch to a Nord Wave synth to control modulation depth
