"CAUTION - This video contains Flashing Images and Weird Sounds.
Zoom-O-Tron 505 is a Circuit Bent Synthesizer & Sequencer built using a Korg Monotron and a Zoom 505 Digital FX pedal.
Both machines have been heavily modified, and combined with a sophisticated Step-Sequencer - It will Sequence, Sync, Trigger Gate & Modulate both machines, AND the Steps can be 'Played' using buttons and a rotary knob.
TThe Step-Sequencer includes a bolt-bay which will Scramble, Disrupt & Distort the built-in ZOOM Fx Processor. It can be used for glitch effects with delicious Ring-Mods, or for creating Rhythmic patterns of Glitched out weirdness & Distortion.
There is a programmable GATE, which is used to Mute & Chop the outgoing audio from the FX processor.
The Zoom 505 is a great little FX processor, with a grainy Lo-Fi sound - It now also has a additional modulation knob, courtesy of an LTC1799 'Precision Oscillator'. It even has a new 'Loop' feature, which allows it to sample and loop external audio!
The Monotron is a real Analog Synth - it's tiny, but it now has a 'VCO Boost' knob which really beefs up the sound. It also has a 'VCO Mute' Switch, that mutes the Oscillator and opens the VCF Gate, so that the Self-Oscillating filter can be played without needing the touch the ribbon (Keyboard).
Finally I've added a squelchy resonance FM Mod, which morphs the sound of the Monotrons VCO with the filter's resonance....
This video is made of lots of short clips recorded over a few weeks. This has been a fascinating project, and I wanted to record as much as I could. Those who are familiar with my work will know that my primary interest is in producing fascinating electronic sounds, which are unique / synthetic / never heard before and generally outside to the capabilities of conventional synthesizers. Sometimes i'st nice, sometimes it's mind-blowing and sometimes it's just nasty... Take it for what it is - experimental electronic audio.

Very nicely Circuit Bent, upgraded with some new circuitry and re-housed in a nice metal case with LED lights under the clear perspex lid. Also installed a Microphone.
Dig the big Green LOOP Button.... Very cool feature with this version of the ZOOM-O-TRON."

YouTube Uploaded by squidfanny on Jun 11, 2011 squidfanny on eBay "Circuit Bent Digital Effects Synthesizer, built from an old Zoom 505 Multi-Effects pedal, heavily circuit bent, updated with some new circuitry and re-housed in a tough metal case. Now makes a whole range of fantastic digital effects which are totally unique to this machine. Also has 6 x Bleepy Synth tones which can be eouted through the effects and modulated in real time with the Pitch Knobs and the LFO.
