Circuit bent Monotribe (modified with midi in, drum decay and separate out)

"The unit is a great little music making machine, and is in great condition. About the modifications:

MIDI IN: Recieve notes for the synth part and triggers the different rythm parts independently, control all LFO parameters and EG shape.

DRUM OUTPUT: BD,SD,HH together. It has always the same level output (with earphones connected directly sounds good) even if the Rythm volume knob is set to the minimum. When a 3'5mm (1/8'') jack is connected rythm part disappears from the global output. This modification is good for processing the synth and rythm parts separately becouse you've each one in different outputs so you can use a delay with synth part and a compressor with rythm part running in parallel.

DRUM DECAY: It has 2 pots for HiHats decay and SnareNoise decay. The knobs controls BD decay and SnareFrame decay.

It has a few little marks (seeable on the photos) made during modifications process. The mods are incredible and completely advance the unit, but please note that to really push this in the direction it needs to go and listen to this through nice big speakers (especially for the decay which is awesome on a big system).

It comes with original box and manual ( which is what it comes with originally). Updated to latest OS..."

"Kingdom melody played on different analog (string) synthesizers with diashow."

I'm guessing the synths used in order are the ones pictured starting with the EMS Synthi for noise swashes, Eminent 310 for percussion and organs, KORG Poly-61 for fx, and the Eminent 310 again for the string ensemble. A KORG monotribe and Roland Juno-106 with full on custom wood case also show up in the video.

"A rare opportunity to buy a near perfect "whitewhite" This synth has been totally stripped down and re-built including a brand new cabinet. The only fault is a slight dent on the metalwork - see photos. All work has been done by probably the best synth tech in the UK James at Synth Repair Services ....so this is possibly a better than new Odyssey....knowing what a good job James does..."

circuit bent KORG KAOSS PAD KP1 - Red

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.



via this auction

"Way back in 1999 (its seems like longer) the Korg Kaoss Pad seemed like some kind of visitation from an alien technology. Aesthetically, it looks fairly primitive today, but back then it was the first of its kind. The technology was lifted straight from the Korg Z1, which was essentially a polyphonic Korg Prophecy released in 1997, but the KP1 was certainly the first stand alone effects device with a two axis touch pad controller.

If you want to read a review detailing the full specs of the KP1, you won't go far wrong with the Sound On Sound review from 1999 that can be found HERE. Essentially the KP1 features 60 different preset effects in six banks of 10 filters, modulation effects, delays. reverbs. SFX and sampling. Each effect preset has various different realtime control parameters assigned to the touch pad, so on a delay preset you might find that the delay feedback is increased as you move your finger on the pad towards the top left, or reverb might be introduced as you move your finger towards the bottom left etc etc. Normally when you remove your finger from the pad the effect is turned off, but at any point you can press the 'Hold' button and the effect is locked on in the last pad position you used.

The 'sample' presets are especially interesting, as they allow you to sample a sound into the unit, and then the sample is continuously looped as long as you are touching the pad. On the various sample presets the pad position is assigned to such things as the sample loop point, loop length, playback speed, forward/reverse playback etc.

As you can see, we have added a new control box to the side of the KP1. The box itself is made from a translucent red plastic, and we have installed several LED's inside so the whole thing lights up when you turn the unit on....... Nice! :-)

The control box houses a 16 way 'bend bus' switching matrix, and a clock speed knob. There is also another new switch mounted on the main casing just in front of the new control box which switches between the normal clock speed, and the new clock speed knob.

The new clock speed knob controls the running speed of the onboard sample RAM. This means that it will control the playback speed of any samples, the length of both the delays and reverbs, and the depth of any other effects that use the sample RAM, such as flanging or chorus. This works independently of any other effect or pad settings.

The clock speed also appears to control the sample rate of the RAM. On the KP1 the clean input signal is always run though the A/D and D/A convertors before reaching the output as there is no true bypass. This means that even when there is no effect running, the clock speed knob will change the sample rate of the input signal. This allows you to take a normal input and take the sample rate down to give drum loops more punch and dirt, until at the bottom of the knobs range the input sounds like its playing back through some kind of underwater drug experience.

The switch allows you to quickly switch back to the standard KP1 clock. Unlike many units that can be re-clocked in a similar way, on the KP1 you can freely switch between the standard clock speed and the new clock speed knob at any time, without the unit locking up or crashing.

The 16 way 'bend bus' switching matrix allows you to apply various kinds of comb filters, pseudo ring modulation, bit crushing, distortion, and what can only be described as audio smearing™ to any affect that uses the sample RAM in any respect. Each switch has a certain effect that is usually associated with it, although its effect can be altered depending on which other switches are activated simultaneously. You have to activate more than one switch at a time for any effect to work, but when two or more switches are activated their associated effects will combine to produce something entirely new. The demos below do tend to highlight the savagely brutal end of what this machine can do, but thats only because its more fun! It is very keen on distorting sounds way beyond the outer limits of what is strictly healthy, but it's also capable of producing a range of more subtle and sometimes strangely beautiful alien sounds.

The final, and we think you'll agree, most important mod to this machine, is a new spiral backing to the touch pad. You might ask why, but it would probably be more appropriate to ask, why not? Since when have we needed an excuse to make anything look more psychedelic? ;-)

The unit does very occasionally crash and lock to one effect when you quickly change preset effects with the clock speed set low. For some reason this mainly happens with the filter effects, but with a little practise it is completely avoidable and simply restarting the thing resets it. The unit will be supplied with a power supply (240v with a UK plug), and the two page manual can be downloaded from HERE

Round the back is a midi output (sends midi control changes from the pad), atereo inputs (phono and line level) and outputs on phono sockets, a mic input so you can process a vocal live, and a direct / FX loop switch. This final switch removes the original signal to give a 100% effect output for use on a mixing desks FX sends.

Below are some demos of what this machine is now capable of. The first is a fairly long and brutal destruction of a very simple pattern supplied by a Yamaha RM1X. The second demonstrates what can be done to delays, and shows what can be created by the unit itself without an input when the mods are applied to the reverb effects. The third demo is the result of processing a breakbeat, again from a RM1X. The fourth is a stereo ambience and the final demo is a continuation of the first, only with more of a bad trip feel to it."

via the listing: "The drum sounds are triggered via the inputs on the left side of the device. I used the individual outputs of a Roland drum machine as my trigger source. You can use each channel independently, or trigger them at the same time for more complex layered sounds.

I find the DS200 works best for boomy kicks and space drum toms, but I've also been able to coax hi hat and bell-ish sounds out of it by using both channels pitched up and detuned..."

BassBot TT303 & XoxboX - a comparative

Published on Nov 24, 2013 Trooper Starship·20 videos

"in this track the two 303 Clones are used 50/50
the XoxboX (xoxshop.de version) and the new BassBot TT303 are harmonizing together very good. The TT303 has some special sweetspots the XoX doesn't have this way - and vice versa...
So it's the best to get both, then you can realy cover the whole spectrum of an original TB303 (and even more).
Btw. the TT303 is build in very bad quality and i am shure it will not last very long. Therefore the price (630€ !) is only a joke, the XoxboX in full aluminum box costs much less and sounds even as good and in some things even better....

used instruments: XoxboX, TT303, LXR, Cubase Artist 7.06

another comparative test of the TT303 & XoxboX:"

Published on Nov 22, 2013 Haydon-Wesley Rocko J. Fonzo·2 videos

"the build quality of the TT303 is very bad, the sound is different only in nuances, the TT sounds a bit "harsh" in a way like the volca bass
it is an "old" XoxboX from Christian from XoxShop.de
if i had to choose i would always take the Xox over the TT"
