Roland MC-202 with semi modular modifications

via this auctionMC-202 with Analogue Solutions mod
"Personally the most useful part of this mod is the added cv and gate inputs. These inputs bypass the 202's cpu. By doing this you can then send cv and gate into the machine without the lag an unmodified unit would experience. This means you can control this beast very easily with a cv based synth or even over midi with a Kenton. You can also patch the second channels cv and gate out into the channel that is already playing allowing for more than one sequence to be usable."

EXP1 DIY Expansion Box for the MFB Kraftzwerg
flickr by kb6402000(click for more)
"My DIY expansion box for the Kraftzwerg. It features 3 multiples and 4 attenuators.
Since this is a passive box, not PSU is required. It adds some missing features to the MFB. Total cost for parts including box: $20 (+6 hours labor). A similar box using Doepfer modules would have cost about $225."

The Casio SK-1 is loaded with original features, sampling capabilities, and great sounds (for what it was....)
Diabolical Devices aka Class A Electronics, LLC is a leader in Professionally Modified Synthesizer and Audio Equipment, Expert Repair Services, and has a full line of Hand-Wired Tubes Amplifiers and Effects (Diabolical Amplification).

Check out the new www.circuit-bent.com for updated specs, custom work questions, and new releases from Diabolical Devices
Rack MIDI Casio SK-1 Circuit bent by Diabolical Devices:
Here we have an awsome custom SK-1 by Diabolical Devices it has been cut down and modified to fit into a standard 19" rack and is about 4-5 rack spaces wide (top to bottom). This is a custom modification and will not be duplicated (by us....) In addition to custom rack ears two plates were custom made to house modifications.
The first plate which is located were the speaker once was consist of 1/4" main audio output, 1/8" sampling input, MIDI input (www.highlyliquid.com) and 1/8" individual outputs for Drums, Bass, and Lead, when one of these jacks is used that voice is removed from the main mix, these jacks can also be used to mute a particular voice from the main output by inserting a cable into corresponding jack.
The second plate which is located were the lowest 7 keys once were has a 15 point 1/8" patch-bay. These are the circuit-bending points, linking patch locations with provided patch cables will unlock an endless variety of crazy effects, playable bends and outright bizarre sounds. the video below should give you some idea of what this devices is capable of.
This custom modification also includes front access DC power connector (this device runs off DC power adapter only) and blue LED color change. There are custom painted buttons and the keys got a cool reverse paint job." Also see this one.

Vends Synthétiseur Analogique Exagone Polyless
via this auction"C'est à contre coeur que je m'en sépare. J'aime particulièrement ses basses au LFO, les motifs rythmiques qu'on peut faire tourner fitrés genre TB303, et les nappes brillantes.
Moitié presets, moitié VCO/Filtre/LFO... Mixage des signaux etc. (voir photos)
Fabriqué en France au début des années 80, ce synthé ne court pas les rues. Clavier accordéon vite apprivoisé. C'est un très beau synthé, et une pièce de collection.
A part un peu de nettoyage de certains potards qui crachotent un TOUT petit peu, il est nickel. Livré dans son flight-case.Remise en main propre sur Paris."
Googlish: "It is against my heart that I let it go. I especially like his bass to the LFO, the rhythmic patterns that can be turned Fitr TB303 kind, and bright tablecloths.
Half presets, half VCO / Filter / LFO ... Mixing signals etc.. (See photos)
Made in France in the early 80s, this synth does not run the streets. Keyboard accordion quickly tamed. It's a great synth, and a collector's item.Apart from a little cleaning up some knobs that a WHOLE crachotent little, it is nickel. Arrives in a flight case.
Hand delivered to Paris. "

SK50D Yamaha Multi Synth
via this auction
"According to the Owner's Manual… The SK50D is basically composed of six sections: upper and lower organ, poly-synth, strings, bass, and solo synthesizer. Each of these sections can function as a completely independent instrument, or they can be combined and mixed to any desired degree of balance to create ensemble effects.
According to SK50D Users... It has got a [Hammond-like] 9 drawbar organ, monophonic bass synth ; a woofer killer bass with sine 3 oscillators . It has got a monophonic solo synth that can be layered with the bass synth for even more power (and it responds to aftertouch!). There is a fully programmable 7 note polyphonic analog synth with VC LPF and resonance and it has three presets, and a 7 note polyphonic analog string synth It is a very rare instrument. Very playable with lovely key action...
Each section has separate outputs, plus there's a mixed output, and a headphone output. There's even a direct Leslie tone cabinet connection that makes for a truly unbelievable combination (see the video links below)! [at the auction or see this post and this post]Here's a link to the Owner's Manual. Here's a band [natural sympathy orchestra] that uses the SK50D extensively in performance [bottom pic]"

"Another little teaser from the Anima Morte sessions...This time it is the Mellotron # 563 that gets a beating using the Sonic Alienator, Moogerfooger low pass filter and the Boss PS-2...I think the Echoplex is involved as well...
The original sound is the MK I moving violins and celloes as well as an effect sound from the BBC.
This little snipet was filmed and edited by Martin Gustafsson, the bands official photographer and film maker. They are working on a small documentary that will come with the album...a sort of how-we-did-it thing"

There is also an external input. There are CV controls for the bass and lead synthesizers. Take Note! All the buttons, and sliders on this synth work! There are 15 broken sliders, and 2 slider caps missing from the non broken sliders. NOTE even though they are broken, they still work, and I can adjust all of the broken sliders with my finger. If you replaced the busted sliders, you would have a most excellent condition quadra."
