Just scored one of these for a song on eGay. Cant wait to start exploring it's potential. Just for info sake. This board contains the same sound chip as the VL series but you can find one of these for a lot cheaper. Don't let Kermit fool you. This thing is nasty.
you dont need to understand electronics for circuit bending. thats the beauty of it. if you know how to loosen some screw than you know how to circuit bend ;)
I just don't see the point in this. It sounds like a fucking dial up modem. What pisses me off more about circuit bending, is when they decide to destroy perfectly good analogue synths to create an effect possible with a pedal...
LOL does this fucking look like an analogue synth? I'll give you it's analogue but a synth? It's a kids toy that you can pick up for a rediculously low price.
I suggest instead of being pissed off...why don't you piss off.
I have this same keyboard. I didn't come across those bends. I did find the pitch bends and a few noise makers though. What kind of delay circuit did you use?
I circuit bent one of these bad boys and it was immense. The bad thing is that I lent it to someone and they knackered it big time and i couldn't repair it.
So instead I have some other casio keyboards instead.... Casio vl tones are easy....
Just take em apart and start shorting out connections.
This also has pitch and tempo controlled by variable resistor, so whip those out and put in a panel mount pot on the top.
I now know what a 14 k modem with explosive diarrhea with robotic bumblebees flying out of its ass sounds like. Awesome.
