Make a Korg Kaossilator Guitar

Step 8 Soldering pt.2

Now its time to open up the Kaossilator. The way I've designed it, this will work in both guitars. 3amsleep and I were working on similar projects at the same time. I found his blog while doing research. On my first prototype I rerouted two connections from each button. Then 3amsleep publish his project on his blog and I saw that you only need one connection from each button and a ground. He's even made a video tut on how to disassemble the kaossilator.
You need to look at these pictures for reference.

Wire it as shown in the diagrams below.

Folding the wire in strategic places keeps everything tidy. You will need to cut a hole in the side of the top portion of your Kaossilator. I used a little drill bit and the skew to clean it up.

When once you've fed the wire out of the hole and closed everything attach the 10 Pin connector by applying A LOT of even pressure. Make sure to line up the triangle on the size of the connector with wire 1.
