Great work. Were those things even sold in Japan?
The warping of the disc seems to add an interesting sound. Maybe you
could apply opaque tape to the disc for rhythmic effects. With your
arrangement it's much easier to see how the sound is affected.
Key click is a little intrusive. Of course it's a little too much to
suggest 58 VCAs, but maybe some cheap and simple transistor-based VCA
(like in some organs, to make it very primitive is kind of fitting)...
