PSS A50 stereo mod : mod PCB integrated on PSS PCB
By lionel nollet on Wednesday, August 10 2022, 13:45 - Permalink
I finished my integration work.
The question we would like to know the answer : Will it work ?
The audio/video answer will be provided in a new Youtube video I'll prepare later.
The written answer is : "Yes, it works fine, as expected", with no reworking needed. Also, no additional noise (from ear, subjective, with headphones) compared to the genuine PSS-A50.
I'm really happy with the result and the nice integration.
1. I'll publish later an article with the details of this integration.
2. I'll also publish later another possible integration of this PCB, without (the complexity of) using 1.27mm headers, but (easier) just using wires instead.
3. I'll also publish later an article about audio noise when recording from the usual audio input of the PC, if the PSS-A50 is USB connected to your PC (sending midi to the PSS). Solution : use audio 1:1 transformers (usually 600 Ohms) in order to de-couple the ground

Awesome!!! You're a genius! I'm really glad it works as intended, and waiting for the possibility to buy the board for my keyboard as well.
How's the progress?
Thanks for your comments. I'm currently trying to find some time to update the blog with the latest information, but roughly, my project is over. I'm now enjoying the PSS-A50 keyboard. You can have a look on the latest video : https://youtu.be/F4OMHS_O1EA
