Dim the display?

[rmachin]

Anyone know of a secret way to dim the display? So far my only negative is that in low light that display lights me up in an unflattering red glow...

I haven't found a way to adjust the display brightness. But I remember during the Prophet-5 era it was common for players to make little cardboard display "hoods" that they would tape over the display.

Here is an example, Jonathan Cain's P5 in 1981:


Or you could go to some craft store and get some kind of a dark-ish colored overlay, cut it to size and tape it over the display

Not a bad idea. May even be bright enough to read through duct tape. But it's every light -- they're all very bright -- feel like Jack Horkheimer (but I'm not looking up). I could use a global setting for that.

People wanting to dim the display with a superior snobbish edge can start discussing what Schott glass types to use!

Seriously, some kind of colored transparent plastic can do the dimming. Possibly even the types of transparent plastic that some use for gift wrapping. Time for experimenting!

I found the display to be much to bright for my liking. these did the trick:

Just added a Sub 37 and find that the editor for that lets you dim the leds...just saying...love the p6 regardless.
