The problem with distorted toy keyboards

Published on Nov 26, 2012 by organfairy
"More than once people have asked me why the sound from a toy keyboard often gets distorted when the headphone output - which is often the only output - is connected to the computers line input. The answer is that the headphone signal is too powerfull for the computer to handle. Therefore I use an attenuator box to dampen the sound so it fits the computer. In this video I show one of the ways to make one.

The music is my version of the completely insane "Aihto" that was composed by the equally mad band Caramba. It was a song that parodied the stereotypical Japanese way of singing. No offense intended.

I used my collection of Casio keyboards: SA-1, SA-3 SA-20, CZ-101, PT-88, RAP-1, CT-510, and CT-380."
