Re: New VS operating system work

2019-03-10 by raltoja@...

Your 16 bank VS cartridge would be bought by many VS users including me. I happen to be up (6 AM on the East Coast) because I just finished installing one of Luxmuzik's white on blue LCD's in my Access Virus TI2 keyboard.

I just finished taking it apart and installing the new display. It looks great. Only one part left over. LOL There is this plate that helps hold the corner together under the mod & pitch wheels. I could not figure out how this plate was supposed to be replaced. It had to be detached before I could get the keyboard open so I couldn’t see how it was originally attached. I am duct taping that corner under the synth for the time being. I had to take the keybed screws out to release the synth to move around a little and allow me to open the synth up. The two videos on Youtube that I found both dealt with the Virus TI keyboard which is not quite the same. You would have hoped that the synth opening procedure would have been improved with the mark 2 TI. No Access made it worse. Even the screws inside the synth were the “star” type.

I contacted Access for clarification about the 6 inch metal plate placement. I am not holding my breath. Anyway it looks great. I will mention on the two Youtube videos comments section my opinion that you have to remove the keybed screws to allow enough play for the synth to be opened. Also you have to apply white out on the ends of the keybed mounting posts to be able to even see them when you reassemble the synth.

Doing the Access Virus TI2 table top display was so much easier and installing the display once before made the second time easier. Anyway did I say that it looks great? The white on blue is worlds better than the original washed out gray on white.

PS –. I am one of the moderators so I can go off topic. LOL - Still looking for volunteers to take over my Korg Kronos Group and Korg Kingkorg Group. BTW the Virus TI2 has the logo below the display. The original Virus TI has the logo above the display.
