I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the center circuit board (With the channel faders and EQ knobs) on the Kontrol S4? I removed the screws that I though needed to be removed and maybe I’m just a little bit slow but I can’t get it off smoothly and don’t want to break it. Are the pots for the EQ screwed in from the top somehow?
A second question I had is would it be doable to remove the channel faders and gain knobs from the S4’s circuit boards and replace them with new knobs/faders that are wired to a second midi brain? I’ve read that faders can be de-soldered from the board on the VCI and figured that it must be similar design on the S4.
I’ll post some pics when I get the chance of the inside of the S4. I originally disassembled her to take a peak inside to see if I could put in arcade buttons. Unfortunately there is not enough room (as others have stated) based on the way the side circuit boards mount. Now I’m debating building a new longer case and then adding arcade buttons to the bottom of the controller. In addition I want to swap the faders and gain knobs as well as add a few other smaller buttons and a second brain so that I can run the S4 in NHL mode while controlling the faders in Ableton (midi) via the 2nd brain. (smartmixer….post fader effects and such)
Any help on this potential project would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chase
