Sound Sample
From 2002:
 
I've done modifications to four Casio CT-310s, and this one was the most modified. I sold it to a guy in Texas, and it was damaged in shipping. USPS paid for another one, because the motherboard cracked in half. I was able to fix it, and send it back to him. The theme was inspired by the year 1982.
Sound 1 - Mystery Knob! When the toggle switch under it is flipped, the mode is activated. It is a 12 way rotary switch, with a different noise sequence on each turn. This MP3 is about 2 seconds of each turn.
 
Sound 2 - This switch makes the drums say "Cha!"
 
Sound 3 -  Makes that same drum bark like a dog. Sort of.
 
Sound 4 -  When playing a drum bank, this switch takes out the high hats. All you hear is a Bass and a Snare.
 
Sound 5 - Very cool body contact. When combined with the body contacts of #7, a building hiss emerges. It's pressure sensitive.
 
Sound 6 - Another set of body contacts. The harder you press, the more effect. It's hard to describe. You have to listen to it.
 
Sound 7 - Set of 3 body contacts that mess with the timbre. The effect changes with different instruments. Usually, it creates a nice distortion, but sometimes it bends the pitch. I put it towards the left so you can play the leads with your right hand and distort them. Also, it is pressure sensitive.
 
Sound 8 - Very cool drum noise effect. Basically, you tap all three body contacts (6 & 7's) for a "snare" sound. If you do that while touching the #8 contacts, you get a "bass" sound.
