"'Beat sound electronic drum' Fully Analog Drum Synthesizer, very heavily modified and retro-fitted with MIDI-TRIGGER converter.

Both machines have similar mods, ie Pitch, Decay, Overdrive, Distortion, Glitch, Oscillators, etc. However mods are implemented differently on each machine, thus both machines have a distinctivly different sound.
One machine is geared up to produce synthesizer sounds with loads of modulation between the 4 channels and various filtering and distortion.
The other machine functions as a 909 style analog drum synth, with impossibly deep Bass / Kik, touch points for triggering the drum circuits by hand, and seperate outputs for the 4 channels.

MIDI-TRIGGER converter provides 23 x 5 volt Trigger outputs & Accent for driving other machines and DIY creations.
Miraculously I managed to fit the entire unit, 24 jack sockets & 29 x Flashing LED lights inside the machine (along with 22 x new knobs, 12 x switches and a shocking amount of cable)...

The Trigger unit works really well, buy one from engineers@work :)"

MIDI-TRIGGER Test / D.I.Y. Glitch techno

"Some Circuit Bent gear, triggered with MIDI via my MIDI-TRIGGER converter.
Just a quick test, for fun only...

Machines used -
A pair 'Beat Sound' Analog Drum Synths, A CASIO SK-5 Sampler, Yamaha DD-6 & Yamaha DD-8. Obviously all machines are heavilly circuit bent, and fitted with trigger inputs.

MIDI-TRIGGER converter is fitted inside one of the 'Beat Sound's' and provides 23 x 5volt trigger outputs and an Accent output."
