For glitches, generally, you can short the pins of the chips that are connected to other chips.

i remember i gave it a try on a pss680, but i didn't find much interesting either...
only one glitch : random fm sounds with controllable speed.... nothing interesting
as a synth i didn't found it interesting either.. only 2 operators , little patchmemory, couldn't save,
soundwise boring.. so i sold it again

found something, makes it go wild to a tempo, havent added pitch, dont really need it.

Its pretty fun, should be good toystep drums

I put in a button that lights up just for abit of fun to make up for the lousiness of the keyboard, sorry if it was a stupid question XD

np, it is boring, it dosent randomise the notes, i belive it just changes/ distorts them,

do you reckon adding anything to the circuit could make it more fun?

well , it would be nice if you find some kind of distortion (or fm feedback)
it certainly could use some agression in it's sound..

i still can't believe there is so little to bend, i remember there was a lot of circuitry inside
