Circuit Bent SK-1 with "Glitchstation" Patchbay

images via this auction
"circuit bent Casio SK-1 keyboard that I've set up to be controlled by an extensive patchbay built into an old Playstation 2 case... The Casio is setup with a few additional controls. I added a drum kill switch that shuts off the "Blip blop" drums, a pitch control that raises the pitch, a pitch warble body contact, and a 1/4 inch output.There is also an RCA plug that gives power to the LFO on the patchbay. The patch bay connects to the Casio using a 25 pin d-sub cable. The main bending patch bay consists of 26 points, 2 points go to ground, and ever other goes to individual points in the keyboard.That is over 600 different combinations in the patch bay alone. There is an 8 point patch bay that is wired to seven switches. This allows you to take points from the main bay, plug them in, and use the switches to turn them on and off. If you turn all of the switches on then it functions as a common connecting all of the points together. There are 3 joysticks wired to 9 patch points (3 per stick). These work by find a bend, plug it into the middle of the 3, plug something into the outer points, and then going between the two using the stick (left goes to left point, center off,right goes to right etc..)

There are 3 knobs with to patch points going to each. These knobs are 3 different values allowing to to add some resistance to your bend if needed. This works well with the LFO section.

There is a sample and hold section with 2 patch points, a momentary push button switch, and lock switch. This allows you to find a good crash bend, test it with the push button, and lock it in with the lock switch.

Last, and definitely not least is the LFO section. There is a power switch, power patch point (connects to the Casio) Rate knob, Rate indicating LED, and a patch point. This allows you to modulate your bends using the LFO. Works great with the switching patch bay, and the knobs.
