Here is my first sketch of what i want to make of A Casio SA20 Proposed features: 2 555 LFOs (patchable)Delay section. MOD section (just the circuit bends)Small patch bayand a built in 5” oscilloscope (from a bent portable TV I’ve had laying around for too long)Sorry about the crappy pic, need to get me a scanner!

KORG Octotron Demo/Test (Modified KORG Monotron with 8 step sequencer)

Here are some sweet sounds of my latest synth creation with some keys (: (Delay from RV7000 reverb)

Hoping to finish this project tomorrow, lets hope I don’t get lazy. 

Oh and re-filming the S2800 bend tutorial over the next few days, lost half of the footage! just going to have to reverse engineer it for the video

Mini Analogue synthesizers give me crazy eyes. Yes, im hacking this one up. I plan to fit it into a new enclosure with an 8 step sequencer and a secondary VCO. With all the CV in and out you could want. Maybe even an arduino based CV pulse to MIDI sync? Hmmmm, maybe. For now, im going to continue tripping my cat out with super high frequencies from the resonant filter.

VELLEMAN KIT - MK107 Just ordered one of these Velleman kits. It’s a running LED module based off of a 4015 dual 4 stage shift register and a 555 timer. This circuit can be easilly modified to work as an 8 step analogue sequencer. It’s what I’ll be using to sequence CASIO SA-20.  There’s actually a really helpful here explaining how to do this project.
