Testing the finished result. The secret weapon is an analog resampler and analog filter. It is controlled by a variable shape LFO. Wet and dry sounds can be mixed together internally. A preamp is also provided to boost the signal.

Here's some of the build process:

Circuit Bent Casio SA-40

Here's a circuit bent Casio SA-40. A button was added which allows for selecting hidden instruments, which greatly increases the amount of sounds this keyboard can make. An adjustable crash button allows for the traditional Casio glitch stream. A feedback knob allows the sounds to be overdriven.

See this post on circuitbenders.co.uk for information about the hidden instrument bend.
