Modified Casio SK-2
Modified Casio SK-2 - You more commonly see the SK-1 modded. The SK-2, which is rarer, seems to be avoided by a lot of circuit-benders. That's not to say it isn't bendable. Not as bendable, perhaps, but bendable nonetheless. Here are the schematics for these mods.Alien modem | A snippet of glitched-out weirdness. |
Demo song + pitch/tone | The demo song, which I've now heard more times than a person should, being cranked through the pitch/tone knob. |
Hyper demo | The demo song dropping out of warp speed via the pitch/tempo knob. |
Crazy band | The demo song again, now almost unrecognisable as the A.I. band begins to improvise. |
Flute + envelope, part 1 | The flute tone: the first few notes are raw, the rest have envelope mode engaged. |
Flute + envelope, part 2 | More of the same, with a touch of pitch shifting at the end. |
Flute + envelope + pitch | The flute tone sounding very high indeed. |
Piano + envelope | The piano through the envelope mod this time. |
Sample mangle | This is what happens to samples when you turn the dial to "mangle." |
Mangled sample + env | This is the same mangled sample heard above, through the envelope mod. |
Glitches | Mmm, crunchy. |
Pitch loop | A stalled bit of audio data, with some pitch shifting. |
"Pop vweep" | Similar to the above. |
Rhythm glitch | Trust me, this isn't a standard rhythm on this machine. |
Traffic noises | Glitches somewhat akin to synthetic traffic sounds. |
