Circuit bended Animal Band, toy-keyboard

[Pehr]

Here's a pic and a sample of my first successful try to circuit bend a toy keyboard.

The keyboard is called Animal Band and is sample based, I think! It can play six melodies (one for each animal/man), and there are five lo-fi samples of the animals: duck, bird, cat, sheep, dog. The main keyboard sound is some sort of pulse-wave I think...

The bends are quite simple. The pitch-bend was found by replacing a resistor near the blob-like chip on one of the boards. The pitch body contacts is connected to both ends of the pot.

The loop, bend is a short circuit between "pin" 1 and 23 on the chip. This allows to loop the animal-samples. The weird thing about this bend is that it depends on the volume

that's a good start !

i specially like the sounds when the pitch is turned real slow

Great!Pehr
your first c.b.-toy makes cool and weird sounds!
It could be perfect for a horror movie soundtrack...
