Roland CR-78

You have the following options for the Roland CR-78:

  1. Fit a MIDI retrofit kit
  2. Fit a KADI port and control with a Kenton MIDI to CV converter that offers a KADI interface

Fitting a MIDI Retrofit Kit will give you more control over the sounds produced by the CR-78.


1. Fit a MIDI Retrofit Kit
You can fit a MIDI retrofit kit which will allow you to control the Roland CR-78 directly using MIDI. Our MIDI retrofit kit is for MIDI IN, OUT and THRU. Fitting a retrofit kit is a skilled job which should be undertaken only by a competent synth service engineer or fitted by us at our premises in Epsom, near London (only available for UK).

2. FIt a KADI Port Socket Upgrade Kit
The CR-78 KADI Port adds a KADI port to the CR-78 enabling the individual sounds of the CR-78 to be played using KADI port output of any Kenton device which is fitted with a KADI port. These devices are:

  • Pro-KADI
  • Pro-4 (no longer available)
  • Pro-2000 fitted with the optional KADI port (no longer available)
