Amazing keybed

i love the keybed, i have my second mkb-300. I am thinking to get another one and rebuild that one like a Korg Oasys. it is the weight of that thing i don't like, LOL

It does not make a sound of its own because it is a master midi keyboard. It has 4 midi outputs. I am a low weekend warrior and started out as a drummer but my always had a interest in music and electronics. I grew up in the 80's when the most amazing instruments were build (Fairlight, Synclavier, Prophet T8 to mention a few. About 20 years ago i got the chance to buy the MKB-300 (GAS!!!) and after some years it died on me and i could sell it to another synth lover and since 5 years i have a second one. The downside is it has not after touch.
