"By adding two little transformers to the outputs of this device I have changed it from an amusing but thin & sterile sounding digital device into a Phat sounding analog style MONSTER!! The whole procedure only took about an hour to perform but the differance is profound! The highs are much smoother ;none of that digital edgyness & the lows are much fuller.The basses are just ....bassier!! All around the Darkstar just gets darker!
I did this Mod to the First Version of the Darkstar. The Latest version has more outputs so I do not know if there is sufficent room to install the transformers inside the unit, like I did on mine."

KlangeMachen"Klange Machen means Noise Machine(roughly) in German.This is a little noise making beastey based on the long extinct SN76477 chip. This chip can still be purchased from Unicorn Electronics ,for about twenty bucks each. The 'keyboard' is part of the etched PCBoard and you use a little probe to touch the keyboard to produce an obnoxious sound.The scale is in no way equally tempered but a lot of fun to play,nonetheless. It was built in a surplus CATV case & has a built in speaker and 1/4 inch audio out, as well."
"The Maelstrom is a theramin and Zoom FX processor that I built into an old bakelite radio,that I salvaged. It also sports a two tone paint job & a built in Plasma Ball for added personality.The audio out put from the theramin Passes through the Zoom 506 bass processor where up to 9 FXs can be stacked & saved into 64 unique presets.The presets can be advanced via a foot pedal that can be pluged into a jack on the Back panel or from buttons on the front of the unit. Built for Marty of the Swinging Love Hammers."
