I simply cannot find any technical documents relating to the origional Simon Says game that came out in 1978. I can't even find anything on the 1981 re-release. I have found a decent dissection of a modern version, but it's almost definitely completely different.
An EE friend and I are trying to modify an original unit in such a way as to bypass the logic or game part so that it can be used as a terribly simplistic instrument. I can obviously rip one apart and reverse engineer the circuit, but it would be nice to save that time.
I know this all sounds like crazy talk, but this project is for a friend of mine who I guarantee will find awesome uses for it. I'm also hoping to take it a step further with the Super Simon: http://bit.ly/czRbzn . Eight buttons instead of four, so if we can figure how to alter the notes, hopefully we could get a full scale...
and then why not a half step modulation rotary switch so that I have all keys... ?
Any ideas?
