Description

Whilst the functions provided for the VP-330 Mk1 and VP-330 Mk2 are identical there are internal wiring differences.
Please be sure to order the correct kit for your VP-330.
To help you to identify the model that you own, the Mk1 has ROCKER SWITCHES and the MK2 has LED SWITCHES.

PLEASE NOTE: Installing a retrofit kit is a skilled job which should be undertaken only by a competent synth service engineer or installed by us at our premises in Tadworth, just outside London.

Note also that retrofit kits are always built to order after your payment has been processed. It then takes us up to 10 working days to build and test the kit before we can despatch it.
