If you go to Kenton you will find they list different retrofit kits for = the 68 and the 78. Each has its own installation manuals, and the = manuals and boards have been improved over the years. So I think it depends on how good your electronic chops are. Tubtec list = slots "unusused" so if your building a guiro and metallic circuit maybe = you can trigger it from that. I did read that one of the guiro is simply a mod circuit of the other. In both 68 & 78 accent per sound is not available due to the design of = the internal circuits.=20 Accent is assigned to the time step and all sounds in that time step = become accented.=20 I see Tubtec does not list many install manuals on its site in = comparison.=20 Locally I have their heart (good, but does not replace my weevils) and = the Righteous Rainbows=20 love their keyboard kits. Kenton is a push button update and tubtec = offer software friendly programming.=20 But there are limits to what you can get an old drum machine to do. I'd rather have good install manuals personally. Oh and design a good kit to add voices to teh 68 and maybe Tubtec will = distribute it or help make one?

I'd go for the Tubbutec - simply due to the incredible support, which is = given by Tobias. I don't like the CHD stuff, because all configuration has to be done via = sysex. And you don't have an editor program, but an HTML sysex generator = (in fact a java script), which creates the SysEx commands as hex codes, = which you have to transfer to the device manually, step by step, and = they leave it to you to manage the sysex transfer. The Tubbutec provides a dedicated editor software for Windows and Mac = OS. Florian
