RIP.... Damn you Korg Kaossilator 2S!!!

SO in a nutshell my wonderful Korg iS40 died a few weeks ago when I plugged in my new Korg Kaossilator 2S from the headphone port to the input port on the back of the iS40. It honked really loud then nothing but silence. I think it blew out the amp circuit because gibberish is all that remains on the LCD display. Still works as a controller. Which I had a broken one ot fix this with. ANyone got a broken one? I'llpay for shipping!! an iS50 will also work. Same board!

...and watch out for the fuse near the power supply to the Right and Left Channels it blew the fuse. I was able to plugin my Kaossilator 2 again and activate the microphone and it blew the second fuse... so... I won't be plugging that in to the input.

That's an old photo, probably around 10 years ago. My beloved Korg IS50, my very first workstation is in the photo and I miss it so much..."
