Okay, it’s dodgy, but aren’t keytars just? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The R3 is a strange beast – I think it’s severely underrated, I think it is one hell of a synth, I think it is great for going on holiday<\/a>, and I think it is butt-ugly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"R3<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may notice that this R3 now features a very sensible addition: a shoulder strap. You may also notice that the keyboard has turned really, really yellow – especially when you compare it with this 7-year old photo of my first attempt of modding it<\/a>. I never came round to upgrading it with an aftertouch sensor – although that is still on my list, but this is so simple that I could do it in between last chores for work and packing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bought two guitar strap buttons at a music store. Screwed them into the sides, with a metal disc glued to the inside to bear the load. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sourced this rechargeable battery pack. This type of battery usually powers drills, and heatable vests, and it supplies 12V with 3Ah, which should guarantee for hours and hours of playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I have even prepared a grip, which I am going to stick to the right side – yes, I am going to play it like a left-hand bass guitar. And yes, the grip is from a Carrera race game, which is quite suitable for something as dodgy as a homebrew bass keytar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

External boombox amplifier not included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
