Turn down... or off your speakers.

Picked up this abomination for around $1. I had to re-solder some wires inside, but that's an easy fix.

I was confused why the highest and lowest keys didn't make sound at first, but then I realized they were RECORD and PLAYBACK buttons. I recorded a quick slide-up-through-the-keys to play as a sample at will with that feature.

The sound effects sound like the HK628 chip, but there are actually some differences to some of the sounds.

Ha ha. Also it's a whole step (plus a few cents) too high.

There are supposed to be some lights that flash or something, but unfortunately, they're not operating.

Come on feel the annoys.
