Casio SA-2

[ne7]

Hey all - just got myself a spanking (kinda new) boxed sa-2 keyboard for 2quid
Was wondering if anyone found anything cool outside of reed's book info on it?
Can I do that funky voltage crash thing on it at all?

Yep!

Jesus... it's taken me quite a while to get this one bended (getting wire under those resistors is a total bitch!!!)
Poking around for more body contacts. It's already sounding brill!!

Thanks for info on the volt drop where's the best place to pop that? I noticed a small connecting wire coming back up from the board  near the + battery connection is that where to cut/solder the pot?

I have an SA2 but didn't even get round to even opening it. Look, if you feel confident about hooking the wire back up (or cutting a jumper then re-soldering it) -->> Just cut it. If it goes dead, that's the voltage line. In the SA-1 there's a jumper that can be cut to connect the pot through. The soundset is identical but the SA-2 lets you only choose a couple of presets. So I say it's the same CPU anyway with less buttons hooked up. (This is called marketing)

Good luck!

thanks for the heads up!

all the demo from the SA1 tunes are hidden on the KB too... i just heard a load more whilst poking around
