Noystoise has shared a new circuit bending video featuring the Light Miles

short demo of the functionality and few different sounds this keyboard is capable of producing

Well, its officially cold and wet again. its time to get back to Noystoise. over the past few months i have just been taking it easy and working on small scale projects. mostly just modding/fixing things for people for petty cash. i have also been helping my friend Matt build a couple hundred FuzzStang pedals. if you are into boutique fuzz, these are where its at. please don’t ask me for the schematic though, i wont give it to you.

since its become un-fun outside, i have started a couple of projects, one of which is almost done. i figured i had better catch up on my blog before i have too many big projects to blog about.

This is a project among many that i have been meaning to post. i began this project in July and was finished by august. it started with a “Miles-388” keyboard, commonly known as the AK-900 or Hing Hon EK-001. i stripped the keyboard down to the chip and rebuilt it onto my Frankenstein proto-board. while exploring the circuits’ capabilities, i seem to have caused some damage to the chip internally that caused some of the keys to go silent. it was tragic but worth it considering i was able to devise a way to trigger an envelope generator to modulate a VCF. this is a mod that i would have loved to have had on my recent Orange Hing Hon.

with the functionality of the keyboard hindered, i decided to build a “quick” lite version of what i would later build off of in the future. hence the name Light Miles.
