He was helpful. I shy and still learning the electronics language was still confused when I got the information but did not follow up. Thank-you Paul and thank-you Pete for the new user friendly illustration at the top. I think it might help to bridge concepts in my mind that can be applied to this + other things. Bravo!

You probably could just swap it out for another resonator with the correct capacitance. Looking forward to trying some of these bends. The 3 pin crystal is a crystal resonator.

They build the capacitors inside to save on cost for mass produced items. I have got the SA-5 to run down as low as 5.8Mhz, but not found many resonators that go much higher than about 10Mhz. A common flavour is the 3.56Mhz type used in loads of toys from Furby's to Speak and Musics... Paul Correct, it is actually a Ceramic resonator, which is a cheaper version of a metal cased crystal.

It has a very similar circuit as the SA series from what I remember. A pitch mod for the SA has always been a much needed bend in my opinion.

I recently bought an M-100 from Casio (SA-5 Clone) and bent it almost exactly after Paul's tutorial. I only used different IC-Legs for the "5th Switch" and yeah... it's fun to fool around with it! Click my Name to watch a video i did with it! Yeah! I recently bought an M-100 from Casio (SA-5 Clone) and bent it almost exactly after Paul’s tutorial.
