Circuit Bent Casio SK-5 with CGS Synthacon Filter

YouTube via thenervoussquirrel
"This was made for Colin Cloughley, creator of fine industrial techno.

Knobs, L-R: keyboard filter mode select (LP, BP, HP), cutoff, resonance, LED sensitivity, instrument pitch, drum pitch.

Sockets L-R: filter control voltage in, external lowpass in, bandpass in, highpass in, keyboard out, keyboard out via filter.

The switches in the centre connect the circuit bent modifications.

The video contains sounds generated by the SK-5 alone, except for the very last clip where the filter is being modulated by an external LFO.

The filter was made from Ken Stone's Synthacon VCF schematic. Please visit Ken's amazing website for an incredible collection of useful information, and PCBs for sale:

Arp 2600P Synth - Rick Powell Collection

via this auction

"This unit is part of the Rick Powell Collection. Rick was a musician, a major producer and a contemporary and close friend of Bob Moog, among others, and often received original units from manufacturers to test in the studios. Rick was my studio partner up until the day he passed away and his wife has asked me to sell some of the items that were studio kept for many years.

There are many treasures in this collection and we will be adding them as they are photographed, tested and cataloged."
