Pressure Sensor
Joining a growing list of amazing upgrades that have recently become available is this kit by Chris Borman [21030194+]. The Pressure Sensor adds polyphonic keyboard pressure or after touch capabilities to the Chroma (this was a planned upgrade for the instrument during production in the early 1980s, but only a very few retrofits were ever shipped or installed).
See Chroma Pressure Sensor update, January; CPS update, February; CPS Kit update, March; CPS Update, April; Quick and Dirty CPS kit installation instructions and CPS - An experience, June. See also Pressure Sensor Retrofit Kit.
Chroma Enabler
A large 97-knob physical controller for the CPU Plus-equipped Chroma, with a 16x2 display that shows the parameter and value of the last knob. Designed and built by Randel Osborne [21030467]. See Chroma Enabler, February; and Enabler Update, April.
Chromatrol
In the thread Knob Boxes, Matt Thomas [21010021] announced his knob box project, based on a Behringer B-Control. See also Chromatrol, which includes B-Control template preset files and panel graphics.
