Step 7Soldering pt. 1
Before opening up the Kaossilator and diving in solering iron first, lets work on the adapter for the guitar buttons. Now you can use either the PS3 or XBOX 360 controller. The necks are interchangeable, but the electronics in the bodies are different. Bacically the PS3 one uses six connections and the XBOX 360 uses 8. If you just want to reroute the buttons the PS3 will work just fine but it doesn't have enough connections for the sustainer mod.
1.) Desolder existing wires (I cut them so I can pull them out one by one)
2.) Solder ribbon cable to the neck connector
3.) Solder the 10 pin header in the center of your protoboard
4.) Look at the back of the neck connector. There is one wire with a square around it and only it. For instructional purposes this wire is 1. In my picture its the grey one all the way to the left.
5.) Depending on what kind of controller you're using, refer to the corresponding diagrams a solder wires to their correct pins. The "X"s mean nothing is soldered.
6.) Hot glue your protoboard to the body.
