Evaton Technologies introduces the MKAdapter Gooseneck solution for Micro Korg synths!

Posted on by

This adapter allows you to use a standard Mic adapter with your MicroKorg Vocoder!

The really great thing about this is that its such a simple solution and can really save you from accidents that having an extra boom stand on stage could cause.

The MKAdapter™ allows you to use a standard microphone gooseneck directly on your Korg MicroKorg synthesizer vocoder, without needing to set up a separate mic stand.

The MKAdapter is a standard 5/8-27 threaded adapter. It fits the built-in microphone holder socket on the Korg MicroKorg synthesizer/vocoder,  that was designed to hold the flexible microphone included with the synth.

Shorten your gig setup time and reduce your touring weight; buy the MKAdapter™ from one of our dealers today!

MKAdapter™ is 100% Made in USA

Korg Kp2 Kaoss pad Pad motion Toggle Mod

Korg Kaoss Pad 2 always lacked one thing

 

I love the Kaoss pad kp2 but it always lacked a very simple feature. The ability to play your XY modulations without having to touch the unit.  Well today I finally got sick of that lack of functionality and decided to do something about it.  By installing a simple single throw single pole toggle switch I am now able to trigger my Pad motion without holding down the spring loaded toggle switch. why korg didn’t simply include a button for this is far beyond me but hey, the mod is quite simple and straight forward.

 

 

First I took out my multi meter and checked the pins to find where continuity would be breaking and making.
