I thought people here might be interested in my circuit bent Casio SA-8 (a toy keyboard).

Top Row: Jack out, Volume Knob, Reset button, Internal Speaker on/off, Power Led, 6V power in
Second Row: Feedback Knob, Feedback Amount, 5th (on/off/on), Distortion, Distortion Knob, Glitch, Glitch Knob
Third Row: Cowbell (extra sound), Extra demo 1, Extra Demo 2, Extra Demo 3 (currently incorrectly wired?)
Fourth Row: Hidden sound buttons (allows 100 sounds in conjunction with pre-existing blue buttons - instead of just 25)
I have used some of these sounds in my track below - it's not a dance track but will give you some idea of what the keyboard sounds like.
The most noteable unused sound is the glitch which is just wild. I will try and make a separate demo of the keyboard by itself and post that separately.
Anyway here is my song:
I will warn you before listening, it contains some swearing, so please don't listen if offended by this.

The Casio SA-8 is used in the intro, for a brief moment after the first chorus, and in the bridge/solo section after the 2nd verse. The bent sounds used are the feedback, the "sampled percussion" hidden sound patch with distortion (which doesn't sound like any percussion I've ever heard before), and, of course, cowbell (normally a hidden sound on the SA-8).

The casio looks great, it is doing the blippy lazer sounds at the start yes?

Yes that sort of laser-y siren-y sound on the intro, is me playing with the feedback knob. A similar sound during the guitar solo bit after the 2nd chous is also me playing the knob.
After the laser finishes, but before the vocals start, there's the cowbell (run through some weird external event)
After the first verse/chorus, there's a drum roll, and there's a strange noise that sounds like marbles falling down a drainpipe or something. That's also from the keyboard.
I'm not really using the keyboard for music on this track, more for wierd noises, but you can get some music out of it.
