korg wavestation ad changing bank problem

I appreciate that these question can probably not be answered 100% accurately unless someone else has done this mod but I was really just after opinions from people who clearly have a better grasp of this than I do.Īny advice will be much The TG33 is awesome. Would it be necessary to completely disconnect the built in joystick to prevent an offset ?Ĭould doing this damage the wavestation or un calibrate it rendering it an expensive door stop ?Īs it will probably involve cutting wires etc if it didn’t work as intended would it work correctly after undoing the mods ? I just wanted to get some opinions on wether this sounds like it could work and what problems I might encounter before going to the hassle of dis assembling the front panel.

If not would there be some way of adding resistors to the variable resistor to change the resistance to be the same (assuming the replacement joystick is of lower resistance values). My question is does this sound feasible if the pots are of the same value (from what I understand the ad controls are basically the same as the ex but miniaturised). After opening up the wavestation I realised that it wasn’t quite that straightforward as the joystick on the ad is combined with another pot/pots on its connector (not sure what yet as it also involves dis assembling the font panel which seems quite in depth).

I was hoping it would be the same value pots but simply a bigger version so I could just plug it straight into the pcb (after measuring the resistance to make sure it was the same values if that’s even possible) as the joystick on the ad is pretty useless as Its action is to small to do intricate movements and because of the depth of the ad i have had to position it in a place that is awkward to get to the joystick. I have a korg wavestation ad and I got hold of a vector joystick from a korg wavestation keyboard cheap.
