POLYPHONIC AFTERTOUCH SYSTEM FOR RHODES CHROMA Installation Manual Introduction Thank you for purchasing a NEA Rhodes Chroma Aftertouch System. This product adds polyphonic aftertouch functionality to any Rhodes Chroma. Our aftertouch system uses high quality force-sensing- resistors that were designed for human touch applications, making them ideal for use in aftertouch systems. Each key's aftertouch sensitivity can be adjusted, allowing for uniform response across the Chroma's keyboard, which can require as much or as little pressure as your tastes require. The original aftertouch system for the Chroma required that the sensors be mounted to that back rail, which due to the mechanics of the Chroma keyboard, required more force than should have been necessary to engage aftertouch. The Chroma keyboard has the same style of keys as the Prophet T8 and Synclaviers, which both have fully adjustable, great feeling polyphonic aftertouch. The sensors in these two synths are located under the keys, which gives a significant mechanical advantage. (Requires less force to activate aftertouch) We decided to adapt the circuitry and mechanics from these synths into a system for the Chroma. We were able to take advantage of the Chroma's keyboard mechanics to make our aftertouch system feel great. This kit is easy to moderate in terms of difficulty, and can be installed in about 3 hours. We hope you enjoy our product. Kit Contents
