OUR KX88 PANEL IS NOW IN STOCK

This replica panel, and any logo or designs used to create an authentic looking product, is in no way trying to claim any affiliation with the original manufacturer.

There are two sections to a KX88 panel, the Left KX88 Logo panel and the Right, membrane panel.

ORDER NOW TO AVOID MISSING THIS, It’s likely to be the only batch we will do.

This is an accurate replica panel including both sections. Please also see comparison pictures of this and our DX7 panel to see how authentic we get.

Please Allow 10 - 18 days for worldwide shipping.

A full money back guarantee is offered also, please see our terms and conditions.

Thank you for you support and business.

Note : This new panel is much more durable that original and slightly thicker. If you try it out over your old panel before fitting, you’ll see everything will work ok, but there will be a difference in the flexibility and travel naturally. So, as you are fitting a new panel to an old synth, there may be several reasons why the buttons ‘still work’ but don’t actually click the same way. For instance, every circuit board will have different degrees of flex, wrong screws in it from past owners, possible different switches, board thickness changed throughout production etc. Please don’t despair - If this happens, simply add nylon washers to the board to step the buttons a few microns away ( 0.2mm - 0.3 mm etc ). We have had many cases when this is just not needed and some do.

Fitting is easy :

You need insulation tape ( or any tape that’s not too sticky ) this is to hold new panel in place while peeling backing.

Hair Dryer to loosen the old panel and glue residue.

Sticky stuff / Glue remover ( when get going, a ball of residue is great ).

A scraper, soft edged so not to scratch the metalwork.

Damp cloth to wipe panel once stripped. MAKE SURE NO bits left. Also the damp cloth can leave moisture that can help the new panel move slightly if required.

Cup of coffee

Aprox 2 hrs - to do a thorough clean, neat factory look job. Please see also fitting of DX7 panel on Youtube for similar guidance.
