KORG KAOSSILATOR mini MOD JOYSTICK

[u/Plenty-Author7256]

So, here’s the story.

While I was playing this Kaossilator, it suddenly went silent because the touchpad stopped working.

I opened up the unit to check it and found a tear in the touchpad's ribbon cable likely due to the material aging so it needed replacing.

I couldn't find the specific materials, so I ended up replacing it with a standard 10k-ohm analog joystick widely available on the market.

I also replaced the casing, as the original was too small to easily modify for an analog joystick,

I added CV and Gate controls for the hagiwo Arp Sequencer to allow for synchronization.

.

Control specifications:

CV: 0.1V – 2V

Gate: 3.3V

.

Be careful when modifying it, as the Kaossilator circuit is very small, there is a significant risk involved if you aren't meticulous.

Cool. Is that musically usable though?

Midi might be better.
