I think you should be genuine, yes. The batch of Alps clones with stolen Alps housings had the old numbering system IIRC, which meant they had circles in them which didn't get number printed properly. These lack that, so I think they'll be genuine SKBM Whites, yeah.
Good info man! , they certainly feel like Alps. I recently clean and restore a old Chicony KB7061 and after cleaning an lubing the switches they fell pretty similar, BTW, I want to thank you again regarding your Alps cleaning tutorial on Youtube, I have definitely make good use of it.
Hilarious rm-rf!
Gaucho, do you have a 5 pole din plug for the music keyboard and possibly midi?
Looks like it was sold under the omnifashion brand in japan. Same name as on the chip inside.
There is a driver here : http://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=495946, maybe it is needed to make the piano working?
Does this unit produces sound itself?
Hey man, yes the plug is a 5 pin DIN connector, The keyboard and the piano work completely independent one from the other, the switch on the side changes the mode between them.
The Piano is a MIDI board, as far as i know and do not make any sound by itself (there are no speakers on the unit)
you could wire the keys from one side to the other. so when you type it plays notes that don't make any sense.
but that might get annoying...
Lol, that's a good idea, But there are a lot of people who hate my noisy keyboards already
).
I bought 3 units of these, they where dirt cheap, One unit will probably going to be a toy for my little niece lol. A second unit I am thinking to butcher it and obviously use the keyboard part of it, the thing is that I want to find a more conventional enclosure. Do not know exactly how. Maybe with a old keyboard case in which the board fits (I've already a prospect), or make something with acrylic or wood...mmm I don't know.
PS: sorry about my English, I'm pretty rusty (and I never was good in the first place)
