My First Circuit Bent Mini Piano

For the first video of the new YouTube channel, I’m revisiting one of my first circuit bending keyboard projects from about 10 years ago. I called it the Insect-A-Tron (not sure why). This was a circuit-bent mini toy piano that I added two LFOs to modulate pitch and volume and would make some pretty crazy sounds. I also did a custom paint job, which I’m pretty proud of.

This was one of my favorite projects and it was awesome to dive back into it and bring back some fun memories of the build.

If you have any questions about the project, want to see schematics let me know and I’ll post some links.
