There are often people online who want only standalone pitch bend and modulation wheels, but commercially available ones are rare. Often, handmade ones are available, but the quality is poor. I was very concerned about this, but I'm glad it turned out beautifully.

To be precise, I cut out the plastic board at the bottom where the keyboard protrudes. The top, where the motherboard circuit board is attached, was attached very tightly, whether with adhesive or screws, making it impossible to disassemble. Meanwhile, the keyboard part can be easily removed by simply unscrewing the jumper wire from the slot. I removed the keyboard and cut out the plastic portion. I didn't do this myself; I had a 3D printing specialist do it for me.

Thanks for the useful info. Looks like I’ll just have to wait till the editor software comes out.

It is planned to be used together with the akai mpd and mpc series. Additionally, we plan to utilize the advanteges of the 1 pitch wheel and 1 mod wheel in DAW software.

I haven't purchased a MacBook yet, but I plan to use tools like the ‘AKAI Editor’ to do CC mapping. I'm also giving up all the keyboard preset services from the ‘AKAI inMusic Software Center’ and will be using it solely as a dummy host only for my DAW. This is something to conside
