CIRCUIT BENT Star Wars Darth Vader Voice Changer & Casio SK-1


YouTube Uploaded by TheZombiest on Apr 24, 2011

"The Vader voice changer was something that I'd started years ago but due to my inexperience, I ballsed it up. Now it's all freshly spanked and fully awesome.
The unit contains 3 Vader samples:
'What is your bidding, my master?'
'Impressive'
and his asthmatic wheeze.
Also there's the voice changing aspect.
It's a bit weird, it does a pitch shift down, but not a full octave, with some slight modulation. It's gritty and dirty and guaranteed to lead you down the path to the Darkside.

The mods are a bit limited. I've added a pitch dial for the samples, which when cranked high will result in a some glitching (although it wouldn't do it for me when I shot the video) and an overdrive dial that affects both the sample and voice effects. There's also a line in for the changer and a line-out for amplification, the speaker is still intact for on the fly sonic Sith noise terrorism and there's 3 LEDs for added ambience."

  1. Hey chief wanted to thank you for the post and I have had the same problem with the high speed glitching on mine. The major problem I am having is with converting the mic to line input: I was wondering what value of resistor you have on the input? I had a 300R and 470R in there and things are still either too quiet to "trigger" the dist. or are full balls loud and distorted to hell and back. I have also tried turning down the output of the source device, but can't really find a happy medium there either :( Any ideas or pointers or is that the way this thing acts? Love the LEDs under the panel on that SK1 btw-nice :)
