Gakken Audio In Trick?

There's been some discussion on AH regarding the input jack on the Gakken SX-150. If you don't know what the Gakken is, click on the label below. The question regarding the input jack is whether it is an audio in or CV in. Based on the prior videos, specifically this one, I'm guessing it is a CV in, unless there is another in.

As for the title of this post, Aaron wrote in with the following:
"There have been a lot of posts regarding the external source across the net. I have figured something out just now. I just plugged in the speaker output port from my soundcard to the output port of the gakken sx-150. I did not push the 1/8" jack all the way in, left it in just partially, and the gakken's internal speaker is now outputting bugslife sound. So I am guessing there's a crossing in the soldering with the external source port and the output source port. I will take a look later on after I attend a wedding this evening. Hope this helps. Trial and error, yeah? Heh! This is in response to the many who are talking about the external source port not doing anything. Right, because only the ouput will take in sound as well as if the jack is fully plugged in, will output the sound from the synth to an external source...so we're kind of one or the other now...."

Experimental Sound Studio: "On (Circuit) Bended Knee"

" Alex Inglizian shows us one of his more advanced bent toys -- it's a box with buttons abound that can play everything from animal noises to simple melodies, and two rotary knobs expand its pitch capabilities even more. Alex shows us that if you remember which buttons correspond to which sounds, you can really use this piece as a melodic instrument.

"3rd of August 2008:
In Japan there is a magazine called 'Otona no Kagaku' (Science for Adults) which appears monthly and includes a kit to build. This time the kit was an analog synthesizer which was presented during this live performance, along with Korg DS-10 on Nintendo DS, the iPhone/iPod Touch and other digital instruments.

Try to guess which song they are playing!!"
