[sdiy] Glowing diode on Casio CT-510 analog board?

[Roman Sowa]

Yes, the JP8, one of very few synths showing active voices.
It helps a lot during service or calibration.
Some synths provide at least pin header with gates of individual voices, 
but most of the time it's just "naah, take a guess, we don't care about 
service people, stab a scope probe somewhere and burn $50 vintage chip 
by accidental short ha ha ha!"

You can see those JP8 LEDs clearly in my flying drone video about JP8 
playing all voices unisono:
