Circuit bent Casio SA-20

Shield your ears. Under the hood, you'll find a calculator wired into it, and a circuit from a v-tech keyboard.

The "Anihilator" sample is really annoying, sorry. "Distortification" is also annoying... just to forewarn any listeners.

Nice. These bends do not rely on "shitshot" methods of like startup with lowered voltage often used on SA-xx keyboards?

If so is it more crash resistant than usual?
Do the keys still work? It seems like it in the annihilation mp3, the others sound more like you used the potmeters.

I'd be interested to see the inside.

Why thank you. No crashes, as a matter of fact... for a while, two of the keys played the same dischord, but I simply found where I had solder globbed and fixed it. No lowered voltage. When it has low batteries it just spits out random drum samples. I'm sure this is related to this "shirtshot" you speak of... low batteries... lowered voltage... sounds right. If you made a dial to controll the amount of juice to the keyboard, that would be alright I guess, I'm not a big "random drum sounds" kind of guy, but it's neat for a little while.
