Hi Guys,


Thanks for your feedback.


As for the KLM-367, I've already seen an offer of 40Euros for a good quality PCB on eBay.

That's indeed the right offer for me, so I do not have to bother about manufacture.


For the other boards, I was actually hoping for a sort of an open source community.


If we all share our design files, we can expand our experience faster,

more people together make projects grow faster and better.


As for the special chips, I was thinking of analogue equivalent circuits.

I've already got an equivalent circuit together for the SSM2056 that fits on 22.5mm x 26.8mm.

It is using an LM13700 and a few more SMDs. Attached is a 3D view of that PCB.

That can be either plugged into the DIL socket, or I directly replace the SSM in the PCB design by those easy to get ICs.

For replacing the SSM2044, I just only started to putting a first basic schematic together. But maybe someone else has got already a solution?


As for the key assigner, yes it would be great to get some code to start from.

Is it coded in C? Then it could be also mapped to other controllers.

I have an STM32 nucleo board, which I thought to use in place of the old microcontrollers.

It doesn't cost a lot and has plenty of extra processing power, to add more functions over time.


Cheers
