my hin hon is a little upset at the moment. the envelope controls i've added seem to be playing up and it doesn't understand the concept of decay anymore... nice if you want a continuous tone but not all that useful beyond that.

i'm planning on operating on it today but need to get my pss270 off the operating table first (i've been accessing all the lovely chorus controls on it, yummy).

anyway, i'll try and remember to take some notes/photos when i open it up.

there's a bent hin hon on ebay at the moment. bit of a shame that it looks rather under bent to me. i always get a bit upset to see jobs half done...

What kind of envelope controls have you added?

i got one of these too and it looks nothing like the picture either... mines looks like a Friday afternoon job for sure  ::)

the board is actually three or four boards and there's sellotape all over the place and it kinda looks like there's parts missing although it does sound like those others with the same beats
its got Greensleeves as a demo

I've managed to get a pitch up and down and a low pass filter type effect but nothing else yet :-\

...meant to ask if anyone has added trigger ins for the drum pads? i was thinking it might be cool to use with trigger outs on a 505 or something...

i'm not sure what happened, but i had a happy accident! ; ;-)

it had been a month or so since i had turned on my hing hon keyboard. it was not working all that well, so i decided to change the batteries. unfortunately, the batteries were not sealed, so i took a chance and replaced them with some  i use for testing things.

i changed the batteries and it WENT CRAZY! i mean, i pressed a key and it started glitching like crazy, just sequencing weird ramdom noise! it was beautiful!

so, of course, i recorded this instead of taking it apart to attempt to troubleshoot it! ;-)

so, when i do "fix it", i think i will play around some.maybe i can control this chaos!!!

i would love to build this into a home made box...but, since the operation of this seems to be contingent to the case being tightly sealed, that may be hard.

If the effect you describe was created by putting old batteries into the keyboard, then you could maybe reproduce and, to a degree, control the effect by adding a power starve (power crash) bend. Could be a cool addition.

Ok, here's my Satellite with two nice bends and a makeover:



My first proper bend  :)

this thing is so cool! i saw someone on ebay that had one of these built into a cabinet. it had inverted keys too. was it yours?

Hi I'm in the progress of transplanting a Hing Hong to a larger sized keyboard. I hope to add some mods / bends as well.

I have the model with the 3 boards, black blob, and transistor amp.

I finished wiring the keys, and I replaced the mic & master vol. control to potentiometers. I've also used 1/4" switched mono jacks for input and output.

If your interested in some pictures your welcome to have a look.

@breakbeatnazi I'm very interested in your mods, that you have shared privately. Maybe I can have a look as well?

I've looked at that .pdf, and the schematic of my board differs from it.

Nevermind I got it.

you know, a $15 stylophone is almost the same thing as a hing hon, but easier to find! and mods which are just as cool! just hook up an organ keyset...if you can find a lowery organ...it is so EASY to hook up REAL keys to a stylophone too!

the circuit in a stylophone almost exactly resemble that of my hing hon!

Consider it as obsolete, I got myself two new ones.  ::)
Anyone ever seen this layout of the EK-001? I never did...
Seems to me as it's kinda "better-quality, single-pcb-model".
