Korg TritonLE Keyboard

Posted on Friday 6 July 2007

TIA wiki user Dafrenk contributed this disassembly guide for the Korg TritonLE keyboard:

I had to take my Korg TritonLE apart because I had to clean it. Two keys didn’t work anymore and I figured that had to be some dust on the contact strip. As a great fan of this page I decided that I would take some pictures of this little project to let you guys enjoy the view.

The TritonLE (61 keys version) before disassembly.

The back with some screws removed. Note the different rounded rectangles, these are the covers for the expansion board and RAM slots.

The expansion board and RAM slot covers removed.

A closeup of the inside where you can see the RAM slots used for storing samples.

Here’s the back cover removed giving you a good look of the inside.

Again the RAM slots but now visible on the far left the connection (looks like a IDE connection) for the optional expansion board enabling creation of samples. Note the indication on the board at some sort of jumpers to set the number of keys (76 or 61, the 88 key variant has a whole different kind of keys).

A closeup of the joystick used for pitching and modulating the sound. Also in the top, the connection for the touch-sensitive keys is visible.

The other connection used for the keys is visible here, unfortunately it’s out of focus.

Finally a shot of the separated key-section which I had to clean. I hope you enjoyed this little project.

    It looks like you just detached the red connectors from the keyboard and thereby disconnected it from the frame. Under the keys is another board with some capacitors on it, did you remove that board, did you take any special precautions when doing it, and what could go wrong in such an operation?

    Thats Neat, I took one of my keyboards apart one time but just for a peek at whats inside, it looked nothing like this there was just one small mainboard and a single chip for all the sounds and stuff, it was an old casio and it was a mono one
