Subject: Bending a modular

Circut bending is indeed fun and leads to great sounds. On a modular though, all the bend points are fully acessible.. the jacks and knobs!! If there were spots on the pcb that would lead to cool wacked sounds, then Paul would've given it to us; but analog circuts just dont work that way. Circut bending works well because of the nature of a digital machine.. you can't really bend analog.. well you can, and thats what your patch cords and all the knobs are for.
I was thinking of doing up my Casio modular style, with all the coolest bend points brought to the front with jacks so I could patch around. Does anyone know what kinds of signals are present at the big chips in basic casio toy type keyboards? just on off logic digital pulse types of signals or is there anything cooler that I could throw into my modular? Anyone know, or have a scope to take a look?
It sounds like alot of fun... my casio ramdomly controlling MOTM points, run the casios audio into my filters and let the two machines communicate.. Oh yes.
I guess there would be more danger in running MOTM signals into my casio, right?
keep the "from motm" levels at or under 5v..?
thanks for any fellow curious insight/knowledge on this topic!!!
have a beautiful day on this beautiful day,
