Circuit bent Casio MT-240 w/ rebote delay and Guvnor built in

YouTube via wotatwaat | July 25, 2010

"Running a clean guitar into the keyboard at the start. No external effects to keyboard or guitar
Put a rebote delay with a few mods into a casio mt 240. Also put a guvnor clone in to add overdrive and tonal control. They are patchable so you can run external audio through it and can change the signal flow. Extra pitch control added, with lfo to modulate it. 15 bends added to glitch it out. Thanks to tonepad, whose rebote and guvnor was based on."
