"The Diabolical Modified Casio SK-1 is the new and improved circuit-bent glitch monster from Diabolical Devices. Create vast soundsacapes, unique synth sounds and total chaos, all packed inside your favorite childhood toy. The Casio SK-1 is loaded with original features, sampling capabilities, and great sounds (for what it was).
Bending Interface
20 point bending patch-bay using 1/8" phono connectors. When these points are linked directly using provided patch cables or routed through bending accessories a wide variety of effects, glitches, drones, and other unique sounds can be generated. Everything from playable effects to circuit-bent madness. These points also interact with the onboard LFOs and square-wave generator, as well as some CV and audio signals. Experimentation is the key to unlocking some of the most unique audio and soundscapes you will ever hear.
Bending Accessories
The bending points, and the reaction they will generate can be altered and further manipulated using the selection of patchable electronic components located next to the main bending patch bay. Features two silicone diodes, two potentiometers, and two patchable switches.
Dual LFO and Square-Wave Generator
This section serves a few different purposes. First, it's a stand alone analog synthesizer capable of some amazing pulsing and droning sounds. Second it can be patched into bending points for a variety of unique reactions, and finally the output can be patched into the SK-1's sampling line input (relocated to added panel assembly) for some amazing sampled sounds.
CPU clock mod/PITCH
Added clock source generator allows for a wide range in pitch from way below to well above normal pitch. This modification has a bypass switch which allows you to select either the original internal CLK or added external CLK.
LED color change on SK-1
The only thing actually changed physically about the SK-1 is that the main power LED was changed from Red to Blue, All other cosmetic features were left original (except for the big box around it.....). Speaker and all onboard controls work as normal, and when none of the modifications are engaged this machine will behave as a 100% stock Casio SK-1."
Inputs/Outputs
MIDI Retrofit: Highly Liquid MIDI input kit has been installed in this unit, the MIDI Channel select switches have been relocated to the front panel assembly for easy access.
