This seems to be a rebadged Bontempi ET202/BT204, a low end System 5 model. It actually has a few nice sounds. I added an audio output and a simple circuit bend (the usual crash button that grounds the clock). It sometimes plays warped versions of the sounds, so I recorded a bunch of different glitch variations of the demo song and made an overly elaborate arrangement. I didn't play anything here. Recorded 2011.

Multitracked and heavily processed Keytek CTS-2000 arrangement of the menu screen music from Secret of Evermore. The idea was to do an elaborate dub mix on each track individually. Recorded 2009?

Processing: Tapco 4400, Digitech RDS 3.6, Ibanez SDR-1000, Roland VP-70, Alesis Quadraverb, Boss PH-1, Peavey T-Max, Dave Smith Instruments Evolver, Alesis 1622

The CTS-2000 has a very steep lowpass filter (about 7.3 kHz) on both output channels. This is located on the front panel PCB, near where the pitch and mod wheels connect. Removing 5 capacitors per channel (5.6 nF, 10 nF, 820 pF, 15 nF, 330 pF) and retuning the VCF trimpots for a higher cutoff frequency improves the sound considerably.")
