My Casio SA-20 should arrive tomorrow. If so i can start modding it and posting the build process. For now I’ll leave you with a quick sketch of another idea I’ve had floating around for quite some time.

Its a commodore 64 keyboard workstation with a 49 key keyboard. It also has an integrated TR505. I’m thinking having a MIDI patch bay behind a door on the back would add versatility. So the midi jacks of the TR505, C64 and 49key keyboard are patchable.

I want to run MSIAH on the unit and display it on a little 7” fold down screen. This is just about big enough to use MSIAH comfortably (if you have good eyes) Of course i will add a composite and S-video output to hook up to TVs

I’m going to run dual SIDs on the C64 and modify the TR505. I want to have direct outs of every drum and all 4 mono SID outputs on the back but also have an integrated mixer to run to a stereo output.

As for the enclosure i want to construct it all out of real wood, then stain and varnish it. I just ordered a Circular saw as I’m sick of working with a jigsaw. Should provide some clean cuts! I’m currently constructing a 3D scale model in sketchup but I wont be starting this project until the NES MPC and CASIO SA-20 are done.

I’m gonna be pretty busy for the next few months.
