Hi everyone, first of all I want to apologize for the stupid question but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to these things and I don't want to break anything...

I converted my Minibrute into an SE version via the sysex send described here:

So far, so good - no problem. I also printed out the overlay that was so conveniently provided but now I have no clue how to remove the Brute's knobs without breaking it. Would anyone be so kind and point me in the right direction? Is this even something I can achieve by myself or do I need serious technical or even soldering skills to succeed?

Thanks in advance.

Unless the knobs have grub screws holding them on, (which you'd see) they'll probably just be press-fitted, possibly onto a D-shaped shaft. Carefully prise them up under the edge with a flat-bladed screwdriver or similar. Work round it, bit at a time to begin with, until its lifted up a bit. Do it carefully so you dont scratch the synth.

Or try what this guy does.
