Casio HT-700

Had an aimless week. Worked overtime, started three tracks that didn't really go anywhere.
A few weeks ago I picked up a Casio HT-700 "Pulse Code Modulation" synth for $30. Sort of a weird thing. Digital waveforms, but an analog VCF. (Same filter as the Korg Poly 800 actually!) You can edit the parameters and the filter sounds pretty good! But you have to edit the parameters with an obnoxious jog wheel and my unit's internal battery seems to be dead, because I can't save patches. I can still sweep the filter at least.
This is just a test of this thing. I like its brass sounds. Weirdly, it seems to be paraphonic. I think there's just one envelope/amp because the envelope retriggers every time a note is pressed regardless of the state of the other notes. So this is one track of the HT-700 and the envelopes are just triggering all over the place haha.
