The COMPUTRON


via this auction

Details:
"BEHOLD A POWERFUL "NOISE" INSTURMENT.
THE COMPUTRON HAS BEEN MODIFYIED (I SAY MODIFYIED INSTEAD OF "CIRCUIT BENT" BECAUSE MUCH ADDITIONAL CIRCUITRY WAS ADDED, INSTEAD OF SIMPLY MESSING AROUND WITH EXSISTING CIRCUITRY.) IT COMES COMPLETE WITH A POWERFUL/ VERY SENSITIVE THEREMIN ANTENNA, AS WELL AS MANY OSCILLATOR/ VOLTAGE CONTROLS.

PLEASE GO HERE FOR MORE PICTURES/ SOUND SAMPLES

I have used this for many shows/ recordings with my experimental sound project TORSO. It was used most recently on my split CD with Bastard Noise's BILL NELSON (Unicorn). I will miss the thing. It's DRONE sweeps are unmatched by any other machine I have used (check out the POWER DRONE track on the myspace for proof). TOTAL NOISE BRUTALITY, NOT JUST ANOTHER CIRCUIT BENT TRINKET."

  1. Does it come with a twelve pack of Labatt? If so, I'm sold.

  2. I have one of these. The only mod I've done to mine is add a 1/4" output to it. The speech synthesis on it is very nice, comparable to a Speak & Spell, but it's capable of many more activities than a S&S.

    You can also get them to glitch out without modifying them...simply stick a butter knife in the cartridge slot until you hear it go crazy.
