    If your gonna do all that, just put a clock on everything & a patchbay for the classic bends *the top is an sk-5, the bottom is an mt-240. Both have thorough bending documentation & service manuals available (a bunch of the 240 bends sound like the shitshot stuff you got by switching the clock, but repeatable). Reading the service manuals should make modifying these quite a bit easier & lessen the chance of destroying a hens teeth keyboard such as the dm-100. (cpu pins for 3 separate clocks, key matrix, audio paths are all there, plus a lot more.)

      Nice! I will very much google mt-240 bends. Have had no luck finding anything for the dm-100 and googling the cpu gave really results. Like reaaally poor. Even a scam site was like top 3 links 😅
      So thank you tons for info! 😁

    Excellent work, Simon. The idea to have switches for all the upper keys is genius. I’ve bent many casios and you are definitely getting some classic bent casio sounds and some others i’ve never heard!

    What happens at 21:22 is obviously a note not stopping at the end of its sample, and continuing to read the whole memory; that's why you hear those rising scales, those are multisamples for one sound.

    the pitch bend I did on my Casio ep 10 is the same with tuning, and the tuning is effected by my resistance as well. meaning when I touch or even bring my hand near the pitch knob, wires or switch, it detunes a little. I use it sorta like a LDR LFO when I play notes, very interesting indeed!

    Dang, ye caught some really interesting ghosts there!!! Yeah, once ye can get it adjusted to stop killswitching then that’s become one powerful musical monster! I particularly love the upper key switches, but I feel ye on the 4 note polyphony limit being irritating. The SK1 does the same thing and it’s one of my few complaints about it. The layout with those black & white switch caps looks beautiful!

  • @emptyvesselnz
    @emptyvesselnz Рік тому +1

    haha, sorry about all the soldering but I feel like it was still a good suggestion even though the batteries were a much simpler key latch solution. Maybe next time I'll just keep quiet :) Love the black and white switches, lovely detail! This has been really fascinating (and hilariously entertaining as always) to follow along with. Pretty amped to pick up an old keyboard and try some bends.

    Hi Simon, I am the fellow that warned you not to connect the upper and lower keyboards, because mine went to permanent La La Land. It’s still powers up and won’t respond to any controls, it just makes a beautiful string of sonic gobbledygook. It sounds like you’ve gotten pretty smart about this thing. Is there any chance you would like to try to bring mine back under control and maybe teach it some new tricks?

    Greetings from Skåne, I have magpies I feed and the little bastards are in full magpie at the moment, 430am it is a magpie chorus, they wake my cat who wants me to feed him and them so he can watch them play, they are absolute madness , chasing cats, chipmunks, hawks, hedgehogs !! They pull cats tails, there are two magpies who have NO tail, just a fat little magpie but cuz they are bullies. Its a magpie freakshow. When they have no need to search for food. They really just play all day. All together there is over 40 of em now because they just made more. 20kg of dogfood per month. Plus a 400 gram roll of oat “digestive” cookies from willys per day and some sunflower seed AND THEY STILL ATE ALL MY STRAWBERRIES!!!! And all my smultron! I adore them though, I can totally understand your name.
