Well forgive me but I am still a bit new to circuit bending. I have no expirence in circuitry or anything like that, everything i've done is through trial and error. So heres my dillema This is my machine, not too flashy

Well i am quite pleased the way its turned out so far, but since its still stable and not broken yet like others i've tried  :-\ i am looking for one more bend and have no idea how to go about it

What im looking for is pitch bend that would bend the sounds from high to low octives. errr kinda like a pitch wheel on a synth.

Heres what i got

Hi,

have you finished your MT-70 project? I have one MT-70 here on my table, also having no experience with circuit benting and I need some tips where to start. Thanks for any tips :)

Hey Tomas,
That post on the MT-70 is pretty old; if it were an infant it would probably have a small vocabulary by now.

The MT-70 is a slightly more complicated keyboard than a lot of other Casios and is pretty rare, so there's not a lot of info about bending it out there.  Does yours have the barcode reader? 

Its a fantastic keyboard, and far be it from me to tell you how to run your show, but If I were you I'd just hold on to it and find a junky old Vtech toy or a cheap yamaha pss around someplace and work on that to start out.

Good luck, in either case!
