How is the Kronos keyboard connected to the motherboard? And with what type of connector?

I was wondering if it was possible to recover the entire Kronos and completely change the interior with new components. Except the circuits which are intended for the keyboard and control interface.
Ideally a new motherboard + processor + touch screen audio card + and all the connections.


Thanks to those who can answer me
FM FRED

It's connected via RS-232 via a motherboard header I believe - which is nice from a latency perspective. I believe the Nautilus may have changed this design.

Hi CliveJ and SeedyLee

Great

Thank you for these responses.

All I have to do is find a cheap end-of-life Kronos on the internet.
I could get him some coins in case he showed signs of fatigue.

The cover and keyboard will be intended for my new project.
A VST keyboard with controller and touch screen.

A+ FM FRED

This is what I would like it to look like for my future Kronos VST.
A keyboard with a maximum of controllers and a large touch screen.

Laughing bye FM FRED
