Circuit bent Casio SA-8 // Model No. GSA8-04

Check it out over on my page for circuit bent keyboards in the Casio SA-X family!

Functionally identical to GSA8-03 [on the SA-X page], just has some aesthetic differences. Because it’s almost identical I haven’t made a new video, but you can check out the GSA8-03 one here!

  • Hard on/off switch

  • 1/8” switching audio output jack

  • A switch for dropping the clock speed of the SA-8 allowing it to run in a much slower, pitched down mode

In other news, I’ve been slow with the update blog and social media the past month or so, mostly due to current projects being future releases or commissioned works I can’t share, or things that aren’t ready to be released just yet, but it’s not for a lack of projects for sure. Also been on a bit of a break from social media which I’ve needed. Really excited about a few things I’ve got in the works though!
