hi funnily enough i just opened mine up the other day to carry on tinkering with...and found that power starve works quite well with it... also messing with pitch up causes nice glitches... what sort of bends did you find?

I wouldn't really know how to advise on your problem though -

you havene't diabled the internal speak have you? Coz mine goes real quiet if i try that...

Check out my information on the 'Chad Valley Keyboard with 555 timer module'. It is the same keyboard.

WOW good work!
Your 555 trigger for the play button was exactly what I was imagining...
And a great idea to use it with a vactrol (and capacitor) to create vibrato...
I'd have never thought of that.
Very clever!

It looks like the only diffrerent thing I've done to other folks is to add a push to make switch to start it glitching.

Best results with slight power starve can start it making glitchy distortion loops  -  a bit like noisy SA ones - sometimes they sound quite cool...

I won't bother with this thread anymore. When I've finished mine I'll post photos to your Chad Valley Thread...
