[sdiy] [AH] Identifying keyboard assemblies

[Todd Sines]

The SCI P 600 is for the Korg Trident or Polysix, correct?

What about the Roland JD-800? I purchased it with keys at all — I guess the prior owner gave up with the red glue mayhem.

Maybe Bob Grieb will chime in.. http://www.tauntek.com/JD800keybd.htm
I’d hate to destroy a U-20 or D-5 for this but might have to use it for a donor keybed.

Or use a completely different controller instead like this gentleman did.
