"Vintage CASIO VL-1 Mini-Synth from the 1980's. Infamous for (amongst other things) Bleep-Core Digital Drums and Programmable ADSR. Now Circuit Bent (by Dave Squidfanny) with 8 Modifications and an array of super cool flashing lights..... All the usual MODS, plus some special Glitching and flashing lights -

Pich Knob - Essential MOD for basslines and pitch modulation.

Screaming Feedback modulator - Savage sweepable oscillator.

Pitch Envelope knob - Pitch based wave-shaping for the synth. Has 2 settings selected with a toggle switch.

Drum to Synth LFO - Use the Preset Rhythm patterns to modulate the Synth like a complex LFO.

Low Pass Filter - Housed on a soft touch knob on the front of the machine.

Insane GLITCH Knob - Modulate the sound into pure analog / digital chaos.... This a very dramatic mod which is always sure to make a memorable impact. Returning the knob to it's off position will instantly return the sound to normal. This makes the chaos very controllable.

The LCD screen has been replaced with an array of coloured LED lights which flash in time with the DRUMS........!

The Knobs and switches are mounted on Green PCB (circuit Board) for cool Industrial Glitch / Manga look.

The VL-1 is powered with 4 x Pencil batteries or a 6 volt mains adapter (not included).

Please note that the VL-1 is a noisy machine and this modified version is no exception. It will ideally need some EQ to remove the hiss."
