Parts And Their Functions - Korg 61key Owner's Manual

KKS (KORG Komponent System)
This instrument is part of the KORG Komponent System.
This versatile system keeps all of the sound generating cir-
cuitry, all of the external connectors and even the power
supply together inside of the sound module (subsequently
referred to as the module). In this way, the instrument may
be played with the module section tilted up or lying flat. In
addition, the module section may be completely removed
and operated as an independent tone module, or used with
other KKS products for further convenience.
