Circuit Bent Casio SA-8

(1/1)

samspike:
I suppose the Casio SA-8 is barely above a toy (no jack out, no MIDI, tiny basic keyboard, limited sound), but I circuit bent mine. Is anybody interested in bending on this forum?

Here is my Circuit Bent Casio SA-8. I am using it on a real track - Vive la Difference - in conjunction with real synths and real guitars + real bass.



The additions are - from memory, so may contain minor errors - as follows:

Top Row: Jack out, Volume Knob, Reset button, Internal Speaker on/off, Power Led, 6V power in

Second Row: Feedback Knob, Feedback Amount, 5th (on/off/on), Distortion, Distortion Knob, Glitch, Glitch Knob

Third Row: Cowbell (extra sound), Extra demo 1, Extra Demo 2, Extra Demo 3 (currently incorrectly wired?)

Fourth Row: Hidden sound buttons (allows 100 sounds in conjunction with pre-existing blue buttons - instead of just 25)

samspike:
My song using this gadget is now out.

The Casio SA-8 is used in the intro, for a brief moment after the first chorus, and in the bridge/solo section after the 2nd verse. The bent sounds used are the feedback, the "sampled percussion" hidden sound patch with distortion (which doesn't sound like any percussion I've ever heard before), and, of course, cowbell (normally a hidden sound on the SA-8).

I will warn you before listening, it contains some swearing, so please don't listen if offended by this.
