That made it easy to throw in a trimpot for pitch-bending and he moved on to figure out individual note control.ДЄll of those caterpillar feet are arranged in a keyboard matrix to detect button presses. With an intuitive sense that can only be gained through lots of circuit-bending experience, he guessed that the single through-hole resistor on the PCB was used to dial in the clock speed. Plus, look at all of those inputs - this is begging to leave toyland and join the band. mentions heвЂ™s impressed by the build quality, and we have to agree.
