My grand unveiling! Casio MT-55 13 mod, PT-10, Hing Hon EK-001, Wuv luv videos!

[Gleix]

So, I've gotten videos of my first four projects uploaded on youtube, and here they are:

My bent Casio MT-55 [Watch my video and let me know if we should get this out of the "unbendable" topic  ]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05Hu0a-hKM0 [Photo theremin distortion/squeal... you can see my PT-100 in progress in the backround.. like the paintjob?]

13mods:

- Lead Distortion

- Wah wah/High pass filter

- 6 Rhythm Distortions [Bass drum/aux, Snare/Hihiat, Chords, Snare/hihat extremely loud]

- Rhythm low pass/bassdrum distortion/hihat reverse

- Blippy auxiliary percussion

- Sound pulse button/noise generator/heavy bass tone generator (sounds great used with drums in this video)

- Noise generator #2 [both noise generators sound are controlled by the volume sliders]

- Squealing body contacts that vary in pitch depending on how much they're pressed

- Pitch down thing.. not very stable.

- Squealing noise/distortion photo resistor/photo theremin with switch (separate video, was added after this video was recorded)

-pitch down extra
-drum rhythm extra loud
-overdrive/distortion

-button that creates high pitch that varies with volume slider and reacts to drum rhythms
-button that adds loud fuzz and reacts to drum rhythms
-four body contacts for odd fuzzy noises/combination with noise buttons
-added a 1/8" output

All comments are welcome, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the MT55, worked on that guy for a long time! I have a bent Yamaha PSS-200 I might put a video up of soon.

You are my new personal hero.

I saw the Wuv Luv video a few days ago 
Nice work.

[Signal:Noise]

Good work on the MT55, I really didn't find that much when i did mine, the pitch down, the wah wah/lfo things, a distortion and some body contacts. didn't really set me on fire though, so I salute your perseverance.

Did you manage to find any diagrams for bending the Wuv Luv anywhere? Or did you just go for it? I've searched the usual places but nowt so far. As ugly as it is, I dont wanna fry mine! Any pointers much appreciated, cheers.

[Gleix]

I didn't have any sort of diagrams to look at (I had no idea what the hell this thing was either!) I just poked around inside with no problems (and I searched for a good amount of time over the course of a few days). If you just avoid the battery connections you should be fine, I think it's pretty stable.

Thing with this wuv luv is.. I can't get it to glitch anymore for whatever reason.  The button I used on the back to start the glitching just resets it now.  I know there are other points inside for glitching though.  The pain with this thing when poking around is that you need to have it speaking and to do that you've got to press it somewhere (like on the back of it's skull) constantly.

Edit: Nevermind, it's glitching again... very nicely too!!

Okay, thanks for that, I'll give it a go. Its in the queue behind a growing army of Furbys waiting to be done. Wierd how the glitch button has stopped glitching on yours, maybe it needs a resistor added or something? To stableize the bend? This is certainly one of the oddest toys I've seen - I fail to see how the whole birth process is seen as "cute" (as described by the person who sold it to me!) - its just wrong...
