This Casio 101 has been modified to fit into Joe Paradiso's giant modular system. In An Interview With Dr. Joseph Paradiso, Joe describes to us a bit of the process:
"The most distinctive part of this operation was
pulling all the bits off the internal DAC and mixing them separately with individual adjustments. There's a wonderful universe of grungey, dynamic sounds available in the softest Casio voices that way.... I can take a simple little piano sound and make it sound like the grungiest thing you've ever heard in your life.
"I figured out the whole keyboard scanning routine so I've completely mapped out what button and what key is what. The MIDI interface that I was going to build would have initially MIDI to CV, just a set of MIDI locations for these [buttons] so I can completely control all of these through MIDI, throw any switch or set any mode..."
