Circuit Bending

Casio MT-800

The MT-800 has the same drum patterns as the MT-68 does and also the same analog drum sounds which are typical for Casio. However, the singular drum circuits have been produced in a much more sophisticated way and sound a lot more voluminous. The bass sound is also very soft and analog; but, on the other hand, the great bass, chord and arpeggio variations are missing. It features a ROM play module and song programming functions for bass and chord arrangements.

This was one of my first projects, so the modifications aren't too extensive:

• Mute switch for bass and chords
• Mute switch for almost all singular drum sounds
• Additional "tempo fine" controller
