ouch. a TI Polar, no less!

Synthesizerservice.de were the ones I obtained my Virus Indigo pots from. They are Access' hardware branch, so you're in good hands. :)

Re: new key
 

Very cool. Looking forward to seeing the inside (though it probably is just going to be a bunch of circuit boards) Hope the installation of the new key goes well.

Re: new key
 

If it's anything like my Indigo, it's really quite easy to take out the keybed. Just one (or maybe two) screws on the back of the virus' chassis, and the whole keybed can be slid out and lifted from the front without having to open up the rest of the virus at all.



There is a ribbon cable behind the keybed attaching it to the rest of the Virus' internals though, so don't yank the keybed away. ;) You can just uncouple it.

Re: new key
 

I would try the eight screws who is a little bigger than the rest.

:lol:

Funny power solution, an internal external power supply :)

Re: Power supply
 

well that's certainly interesting :)

Re: Power supply
 

Very strange... looks like an external powersupply mounted inside. I wonder if the Desktop version has an external power supply that looks like this?
