Looks really good, very impressed. :clap:
When you get the time, can you post a picture of the front panel. What is that Kurzweil...?
Also how did you get the black tolex cover seam-less around the corners? :shock: Or is that a coat of something?

That slot on the left is still a mystery to me... :?:

Hej Mr G!

He, he ... my teaser works! :twisted:
Planning a video review with Swedish audio & English subtitles. Showing some hidden secrets and of course sound samples. 8-)
Yes, the Tolex is smooth. Practiced when I assembled my bike some years ago.

And, yes - I'm totally crazy! :crazy:

Thanks for following this totally unnecessary/useless project. Ought to go back to NLA1 & JavaScript programming now ...

But, how do you deal with midi and 3 sound engines? Midi thru and different midi channels? Or the U20 is just the controller? Layers and splits just with one sound engine?

Just curiority!!

Hej!

Yes, the U20 is only the controller. Since the JV1010 has more (+++) sounds to offer. MIDI goes first to the Kurz, then MIDI thru to the JV. Next to "External" = MIDI to USB for my MacBook. :?
And a stereo mixer pedal on the floor. For smooth layering. I'll show you in my video. :roll:
