Tyco Hot Keyz

images via this auction

"The TYCO HOT KEYZ is an Awesome Toy KEYTAR / SYNTHESIZER from the 1980's, and a Popular Choice for the Ultimate Circuit Bending Project. Do a 'Google' search and read all about it on the web and check out the many 'YouTube' videos, then come back and consider buying this one! You won't be disappointed!"

Well... I did a YouTube search for it and found the following two videos below. Enjoy.

"HOT KEYZ RULEZ

the 8-note keyboard can play three different scales-- this one is a pentatonic that takes notes 1 2 4 5 6 from the major diatonic scale.

It has two-note polyphony.

There are three envelope presets- this one is long attack + long release.

The sound is being recorded through my noisy little laptop mic, which accounts for the buzz you hear. The Hot Keyz has one on-board speaker, with stereo output via the 1/8" headphone jack."
