"One of the Mightiest Meanest Over The Top Prototype Circuit Bent Atrocities I have come across: A One Of A Kind Heavily Modified KURZWEIL K2000 V.A.S.T. ( Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology ) Keyboard Synthesizer Workstation ! Ray Kurzweil Of Man-Machine Cyber-Science & Synthesizer Technology Fame has Created several successful generations of refined & expansive synthesizers culminating in the K-Series instruments that are still widely used by Studio Pros & Live Performers for their Incredible Flexibility, Deep Precision Programing And Control ( Parameters are in REAL Values: True Intonation Tables, Adjustments In: Hertz, Milliseconds, Ticks, not "1 to 13" or "4', 6', 8', " as per some Other Synths ... ), & Lush Dynamic Sound. Kurzweil K Series Instruments have one of the widest ranging and diverse sample libraries available on Any Synth Platform. Now; To Take It Further... This Prototype K-2000 has been Extensively Modifed. Not Only can All of the usual synth parameters be accessed and utilized; but now interactive glitch switches and a Phat Circuit Bent Cyber-Patch has been implanted to achieve all sorts of combinations of Extra Outrageous Sound Manipulation. One of the Kings Of The Modern Synth World Conquered By the Insane Technicians OF DIABOLICAL DEVICES Down In Florida At the Infamous CLASS A ELECTRONICS Synthesizer Rehabilitation Center. The floppy disc drive has been replaced with a Backlit Panel Featuring a DIABOLICAL DEVICES Circuit Board Art Logo & the space where the drive sat internally is now taken up the New Electronics & the Patch Bay. Samples can still be loaded & extracted by SCSI or by MIDI. You can load up and Damage all those Kurzweil & Third Party Sounds; or masticate Your Own. All Bends are Super Stable & Repeatable; choose a Patch & Set Your Bends: -It Will Be A True Restore Every Time ! ! ! The Blue Button & The Red & Blue Banana Points Next To It Are Assignable From The Red & Black Audible Data Outs As A Momentary Bend Switch System. The rca Are Data/Bend Points That have Different Effects Dependent Upon What Is Cross- Patched To Them. Four Of The Switches Produce Ring-Mod Or Cross-Mod Type Effects. Three Switches Produce Delay Type Effects. The Other Seven Are harder To Describe, But Were Extreme Or Cool Enough To Make Them Hard Switch Points -So These Are Worthy Effects. It's Easy To Engage Or Patch Multiple Points & Effects & End Up In Difficult To Describe Territory... The Two 1/4 Inch Ports Are Designed To Put Audible Data To Mixer To Add To The Analog Out SIgnal For Further Hard To Describe Effects... The Switch in Back Turns The LED's Behind The "Diabolical" Display On Or Off. It Is A Behemoth Amongst Circuit Bent Synths; Full Arp, Seq, Extreme Synthesis Before The Bends Are Mixed In."

  3. Yikes! If you really know how to program a synthesizeer as deep as the K2000, you don't need to circuit bend it. What's next? A circuit bent Nord Modular? Or better yet a circuit bent analog modular?
