Back of the keyboard

Postby 321indy123 » 30 Jan 2018, 18:06

I recently bought the Electro 5D, and I have one question, since I've seen this at a concert.

Is it possible with some kind of tape to hide the texts at the back side of the keyboard? I just want the Nord text there
and not the other small lines of text. Does anyone have recommendations to do that?

Uhm...yes?
Like...buy some black tape and apply it to the parts you want to cover?

I use black contact paper. It looks nicer than tape and does not leave any residue when removed-

You can also use black matte vinyl wrap.
It looks great, but it's not as strong/durable as proper tape.

EDIT: maybe this is the same "contact paper" DJkeys was writing about?

My favorite solution is black cloth gaffer tape. This is not to be confused with duct tape. The gaffer tape will not leave a residue behind and it blends in really well. I've blocked off all of that print on my NS2 in the middle. Here's a picture to illustrate.

That's funny. I've actually ADDED bright orange and green tape above the jacks for sustain and control pedals (and marked the plugs with the same tape) to make it easier to set up quickly (especially for hands).

I don't cover up the labels, I only cover up the white print sitting between the power cord and the jacks, just to give the back of the keyboard a cleaner look. It's subtle, but I like it.
