New Speak&Spell schematic added

Thursday, February 28th, 2008 | Posted in casperstuff


New schematic added to the Speak&Spell bending page.
This is a re-draw and update of an older drawing which was posted on the S&S bending page. The original was hard to read and I wanted to add a bunch of stuff to it, so I decided to redraw the whole thing.

Casio SA bending tutorial

Saturday, January 26th, 2008 | Posted in casperstuff

I’ve been speaking with a very skilled bender in the UK named Paul Parry aka Oceanus. Paul takes an engineers approach to bending and has come up with some very impressive results. He and I have worked together to bring you the following tutorial on bending the CASIO SA keyboards. These modifications are all Paul’s designs. I have been working with Paul to illustrate his designs and make them available to the public through casperelectronics. Paul has posted several videos of his creations on Youtube which you can see here.

analog meets circuitbent

This video shows two casio keyboards, a drum toy, switch sequencer, mini modular synth and analog sequencer all linked together.

I built the modular synth and sequencer based on schematics from

If you want to get into building analog synth gear, but don’t know where to start, go to this site!!!
Super helpful, tons of info and he has lots of circuitboards for sale.

The switch sequencer is the blue box second from the left. This is the central brain for this whole operation. Schematics for this piece can be found here.

This is used to trigger the drum toy (rehoused in the brown box to the left) and is also triggering the casio keyboards which are pretty quiet in this video.
The switch sequencer is also outputing a clock pulse which is being fed to the analog sequencer which is controlling the analog synth.
What you get is a link between circuit bent instruments and analog synth gear.
