PC-1600 with VFD mod

via Mark

"Here's my PC-1600 upgraded with version 2 software and a vacuum fluorescent display. This is a very easy mod to do. I did go to the trouble of gluing a grey gel filter to the inside of the clear window using optical glue. That step is optional, but these displays look a lot better with a dark filter in front of them. This VFD is Newhaven part number M0220SD-202SDAR1-1G. Arrives ready to install, no soldering necessary.

For those who are using the PC-1600, or are curious about it, I highly, highly recommend Jason Romney's PC-1600v, an OSX based emulator and preset editor that for me has completely unlocked the power of this excellent device. Check it out at http://cd-romney.com/pc-1600v/"

Ceephax Acid Crew - Commuter

"The Commuter has lost his dog.
This adds to his stress as he struggles
to deal with the daily grind of commuting
and working for a high flying corporation.
Will he find MacGruder ? Will he be erased
by his evil boss ? Will reading The Da Vinci
Code erode his mind into the shape of a
Knights Templar Keyring ? Will the main
theme reprise after the piano breakdown ?
All your queries will be answered as you
enter the world of: Commuter.
Starring Joe Deal, Andy Jenkinson and Poppy.
Special guest appearances from Ali White,
Lenny Kravitz and Punky"

Circuit-Bending the Kawasaki iSoundz Guitar with Burnkit2600 - part 1

YouTube via burnkit2600 | October 22, 2010

"Burnkit2600 band member Thomas Uliasz gives you a guided tour of the inner workings and evolution of the Kawasaki iSoundz guitar toy into a workable instrument. Gaze in amazement at the process by which he dismantles a device only to rebuild it: better, faster, stronger than before. Witness his creative process in action as he decides how best to utilize his meager tools. Watch as 24 of his life dissipate into thin air; all for the love of noise.

Burnkit2600 are a band. We make music with improvised electronic devices, circuit bent gear, 8-bit video game systems, analog synths (including a MicroMoog and Rogue :), drum machines, and samplers.
We also craft our own circuits and modify gear for ourselves and do commissioned work for a lucky few others.
Our website demystifies our sound by showing folks how to make instruments like ours."

Be careful not to turn this one up too much. Voice is low, but synth isn't.
"mugician's sound brain in some experimental instruments. (one that is still to ugly to be shown as well) 99% of the initial work is always in the user interface though."

Catgirl Synth Dual Utility LFO

via this auction

"From the Catgirl Synth Website:
'This module is a dual utility LFO offering manually variable wave shapes. Standard waveshapes are falling ramp variable through triangle to rising ramp, and variable pulse width. A fixed square is also available, as is a combination waveshape that is variable between the saw/tri output and the square. This is a MIX not a morph. Optional switches allow the variable outputs of the two LFOs to be intermixed.

The Utility LFO is based on the standard integrator/schmitt trigger oscillator core. Two pots in the integrator charge path allow for the adjustment of speed, and along with two diodes, for the adjustment of charge versus discharge time. Changing this ratio will allow the triangle/saw output to be adjusted through falling ramp, to triangle to rising ramp. At the same time, the output of the schmitt trigger will reflect this in the length of it output pulse.

A a 0 volt referenced comparator connected to the output of the integrator generates a square wave as there is always an equal portion the ramp/triangle wave above the 0 volt reference, though adjustment of the shape of the ramp/triangle wave does change the phase of this square wave.

Following the comparator is a buffered voltage divider to bring the square wave done to a more suitable level and also to drive one side of the variable output mixer pot. The other side of the variable output mixer pot is connected directly to the integrator output. The variable output is buffered is used post mixer by another op-amp.'"
