  3. Hello there! I found your blog through the video of your black and yellow deep crashed SA 20 keyboard... the one that was thrown/dropped/pulled to the ground towards the end of the video...

    I recently bought an SA-20, and would like to try my hand at bending it...

    I have yet to find any pictures of the circuit board for the SA-20, but I will continue to search.

    My questions are this:
    1. would the SA 20support a voltage drop bend? if so, what components would I need? (or do you reccommend?

    2. would it support the glitch distortion bend? where would these be connected? or is this routed to an external device?

    3. in this particular bend, what do the LEDs do, and how would you connect them?

    4. Finally, the deep crash.. like I said i haven't found a board picture yet, but if you happen to remember where you made those contacts, that would be great.


    To explain my plethora of questions, I am trying my hand at circuit bending for the first time.
