" This is a circuit bent Yamaha RX7 and an NES. As a warning, there are many loud, high pitched sounds in this video."

"4 point patch grid on both machines, RX7 has a 24 channel mixer split into 4 groups of 6 by 3 switches. The RX7 has 6 fully routable pots (four 50k, one 250k and one 500k) connected by 5 switches and a 6th routes the last to the first making a loop. The NES has 8 routable pots (six 50k, one 100k, and one 250k) connected by 7 switches with an 8th that routes the last to the first. The video and the sound of the NES can be modified, triggered and controlled with the RX7, and the NES can mod its own picture by itself as well as sounds of the RX7. Both machines are fully functional, the NES is excellent and plays games without hesitation or glitches. RX7 will come with many of the drums edited, which can all easily be reset to the original factory settings if desired. A couple of the factory kits have been delightfully mangled to be very non-decaying and sound oriented to take a break from drum sounds if you wish... these can be easily overwritten (although they have been saved with the factory settings if they are missed). The RX7 is capable of making many non-drum noises and by both using the patch-grid and programming the machine a good selection of sounds can be achieved. It is recommended to research the RX7 and its capabilities if unfamiliar with this machine. Accessories include an NES controller, a 9V power adapter and random game for the NES, a power adapter and owner's manual for the RX7, as well as plenty of patch cables. The price of shipping includes insurance. For international bidders, please contact me a day or so in advance for a shipping quote. These machines will go to the highest bidder and ship out somewhat immediately.

Right-click and "save target as" or similar mac operation to listen.
