Keyboard converter / interface.

- Key gate
- Modulation LFO

- +/-12 or +/- 15V
Requires one or two switch per key
keyboard with a voltage divider of 1
resistor per key 100ohm 1%.
Like most EFM modules the KBD2e is multi
functional. It's primary function is to
convert a cheap plastic keyboard into a
synthesizer controller. It can be built
on a panel and bolted in the rack or
installed in the keyboard case. Getting
the keyboard can be a problem. The
easiest to convert I have found so far
are the four octave Casio's. Once you
have one you can ether build it in the
case it came in or remove the keyboard
and build it a more useable new case.
