Casio CASIOTONE MT-820


I actually did this way before the 505, I just never posted it up here because well, its pretty bland. The body contacts create fairly interesting hums that sound very much like the bugs and spring peepers etc. that you hear on a summer night. The big toggle switch turns on a rediculous overdrive bend that makes the keyboard 100x louder than normal. However if it is used with the line outs, the volume has to be turned way down, and a lot of the overdrive is lost. The little toggle switch is a on/off/on, to the left is a sort of vibrato/tremolo that can be adjusted by the pot below it. The pot used to change the sound a lot more, but for some reason it changed, and now it only gets maybe 1/5 of the range it had before. Gay. When the switch is to the left, it activates a sort of vibrato effect that effects everything on the keyboard (leds, drum patterns, etc.), but it only has one speed and is pretty annoying. So overall, this thing is pretty lame.
