Circuit Bent Casio SA-1

I've recently received an old Casio SA-1 from a friend. I couldn't leave my fingers of it so i bent it. I got that circuit what seems to be some kind of "square-waveform-oscillator". I've added an LDR on it so i can change the effect with light and my fingers. (Like a Theremin)

why would you ruin such a classic piano? seriously... synths wern't build to sound this shit..

@zplin12 it's neither ruined nor a piano ;)

i just improved the circuit for a new feature.

Hallucinating!!! don't need a Nordlead3§!!!

thanks.

have fun bending your sa-1!

Hey man, that sounds sweet! The feedback is just like a zvexx fuzz factory when the synth cuts back in.

I know it's rude to ask, but is there any chance you could send me a wiring diagram or a photo of the connections and types of resistors/transistors etc. that you have used.

I have been trying to bend my casio sa 1 for ages with absolutely no luck! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Keep on bending!

I miss my SA-1! Used to take it with us backroad cruising, left it in the car and the sun melted it :(

very nice sound! how it's this done? only by circuitbend and connect things inside the casio SA-1? Or did you put more electronic componoments inside? it sounds like a nice filter. I just bought a casio SA-1 for 1 euro. would be nice to get that sound also by just some extra wiring inside!
