 You just pegged my imagination now I will look differently on that section its how I think about the usb port for that..

You "could" take it apart, then look at the size of the battery compartment and how much space you got. With a 3D printer you can print a casing that fits right into it, for whatever you want. Shouldn't be that difficult.

 

You could also print a new battery cover with a 3D printer, that fits onto it, that wouldn't even void warranty and you could make a cupholder on it, or a stand for ipad/music sheet/....

 

Or even just put electronics into it, without a battery compartment or a new casing in it. Using the same screws that hold the battery compartment to hold the extra electronics.

 

Tap away from the output with a cable to that section in the keyboard and add something to it.

 

Personally i'm toying with the idea of adding an theremin. Using the Px 's oscillators (sine, square waves, but also strings and such), and the rest of the theremin electronics I put in where the battery compartment now is. Make the antenna's clickable on the side of the keyboard (so they can easily be taken off for transport) and add an extra output there as a dot on the I from casio (mono).

This is perfectly do-able. As we can control the pre-amp volume perfectly with the casio, you can make a stage setting specially for the theremin.

 

Disclaimer: your warranty will be voided if you try stuff like this! Do this only if you know what you are doing! Electronics is part of my daytime job, so I have experience in taking things apart and putting them back together .

I've been keeping spare USB sticks in the compartment. That leaves a lot of room for MORE stuff!

I'll keep imagining....and follow this topic for more ideas.

I just keep my lunch in there :-) Hey Krullebolle, maybe you could wire it up to be a sandwich toaster...so many possibilities!

I turned my battery compartment into a hot tub.

I'll be converting the box into a panini press soon.

I'm going to fill the battery compartment with Casio Watches and sell them during breaks on gigs!

I hope Mike doesn't want a piece of the action!

My battery compartment is a kettle. A few compromises involved: speed vs. size of drink, and a regrettable acidic taste to everything, but am hoping that these small issues will be solved in the next steamware update.

I'm thinking it's time to dehydrate a QSC 12" speaker so it will load in the battery area, saving me at least one trip at load-in. Most gigs, but not all, will have water of a sufficiently high quality to accurately rehydrate the speaker. If they don't, your speaker will turn into a poor copy of a Nady.

Of course, not only haven't I bought the speaker dehdration system, I don't even have the $ for the QSC yet.

Being the old hippie that I am, my first thought was - what a great place to hide my stash!! Then I remembered that I haven't gotten high for 20 years.
