It will NOT work in the Machinedrum or Monomachine. To make sure there is no confusion, the Octatrack Mk1 display has been produced with a white PCB. The MD / MM display is black. The Machinedrum and Monomachine display is also available, separately on eBay. (This listing is for the Octatrack Mk1 only) Display will ship soldered / pins attached. Installation will require some soldering. However, its not difficult, the new display footprint matches the old one. No modifications or reconfiguring of any kind are required. Straight swap.

The performance of this custom black display is very VERY good. All the black negative displays are very good. but occasionally, one particular batch turns out exceptional !

Won't look out of place. This enhanced performance is due to clever backlight and bezel design, and also bezel pressure optimisation. that's the key to the display improvements.
