Casio ML-1 Magical Light






Actually the first thing I’ve bent with significant glitching capabilities. All I did was find a glitch point, put two double-pole momentary switches on it, so a total of four glitch connects, and an amplifier bend that created lo-fi sounds in one direction and some cool screeching in the other one. The exciting thing about the Magical Light keyboard was that the little keys that lit up would glitch along with the sounds being produced, so really strange light combinations could be obtained that played along with the glitches, which I haven’t seen on anyone else’s bent stuff. Here's a sort of futuree musical video I made of it:

very cool. i just picked one of these up today and im still fiddling with it. i still havent gotten that far... mostly because of the tedium of constantly turning it back over to start a rythm- lol. do you have a schematic at all? i think a photopot would be a good addition as well.

sorry, no schematic...i seem to remember there was just one good glitch point that changed the sounds and the "magical light". the light pattern glitches were a little repettivive but the sounds are great! keep working at it...*$
