The result is awesome!! While this doesn't solve the noisy (clicky) key issue, the resulting action is very Fender-Rhodes-like. Ok, I'm done with adding weights to the keys on both my keyboards.

I'm currently using a Behringer BCR2000 via MIDI to trigger the leslie with a foot pedal, but I'd like to be a bit more compact (because it's overkill to lug that unit around just for this one function).Īnyway, has anyone out there tried these mods before?
I'm most nervous about this, because the 3200 is my main keyboard.and I hate to mess it up. I realize this could be tricky.soldering onto a circuit board.but I think I can be careful enough not to fry it (I HOPE!!!).

I did a mod like this many years ago on a Korg Poly-Six (routed the "hold" button to a jack, so I could create a simple sustain-like pedal). On my WK3200, I plan to see if I can tap into the circuit board for the modulation button, and add a jack (for a footswitch) that I'll primarily use to change the leslie speed for the drawbar organs. The result was amazing!! I couldn't believe it was so easy. Since I could do that without opening up the keyboard, it was easy to test. I've already done a little prototyping by sticking weights (temporarily with tape) to the underneath of the white keys on my WK3200. What this mod mainly does is make the keys bouncy, similar the action I had on my old Kawai K4 and Korg DS8. If necessary, I'll be adding a strip of foam (the kind you use to cover water pipes) under the keys to make them a little heavier, as adding the weights will actually make the action a little lighter than it already is, and I don't want to over-stress the rubber thingies that sit under the keys. I plan to stick these inside each of the keys of the keyboard to create a semi-weighted keyboard. I purchased small adhesive weights that are used to balance car wheels. This one I'm going to do on the WK500 first and perfect there.then move to the WK3200. Wonder if anyone here have tried these before:ġ. The 500 is now my prototype, and the 3200 is my baby.
