Circuit Bent ELC Light up Keyboard - by freeform delusion

Because of the way we bent this its original sounds are now always accompanied with some distortion/grainey feel. To me it doesn't sound bad, I think its still pretty good! The bends are mainly distortion including on the pitch bend we added but its all good for industrial stuff. A bit of glitch can happen aswell as you can tell by the light up keys always just going all over the place! - - -

We added the following mods:

MONO mini jack (speaker has been disabled)

Pitch bend distortion

Toggle Switch #1 - Mild distortion

Toggle Switch #2 - Full distortion

Momentary Switch - Distortion and I think some kind of tone it carries

In the video towards the end, the keyboard has an input for what was a mic, so I put an FM3 Buddha Machine 2.0 through it to show you can just jam along to things through the keyboard.
