Circuit bent things:

• vTech Alphabet Tree
• 'Animal Band Dead Keyboard
• AT&T 100 "Hellphone"
• Kawasaki "Green Machine"
• Sally - the (headless) Cheerleader
• 'Speak and Spell'

My very first Animal Band Keyboard took a vaction to the great big barnyard in the sky.

This is the second, and far superior version.


The most interesting modifications are the PseudoFonic switches and the LED-driven 'Pitch Up' connection. The former allows the user to 'fake' strange combinations of keys with a single press and stranger still, that only the corresponding keys will be affected.

The LED-driven 'Pitch Up' connection is on a toggle switch and when used in conjunction with the pitch being driven down as well as the PolyFonic switches, very strange bubbles and warbles can be coaxed forth.

Like the hellophone, I'm so pleased with how this one turned out that here are three more images for your viewing pleasure.
