"Here's my Circuit Bent Hing Hon EK-001 squarewave keyboard, built into an upright style synth, which runs on four AA batteries (6V). Three months of semi-constant work for the Moog circuit bending challenge of 2014 :] I hope you enjoy. In this demo I try to run over some of the more pertinent mod combinations while keeping the demo time to a minimum. All sounds in this video are raw.

NOTE: At 19:22 Youtube REMOVED THE AUDIO. It was a song by Squarepusher to demonstrate visual feedback from an external source. For a demonstration of this mod, follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du6Ve...

Highlights:

0:35 - Distortion modulation on rhythm
2:00 - Engage drum glitch switches
4:30 - All LFOs in use with keys
6:20 - Short demo of hex keyboard (and optic theremin)
8:30 - Rhythm skip/LED based optic theremin mod, then LFOs added
12:41 - Optic theremin for dist. modulation controlled by hand movements
13:30 - Vibrato touch contact
14:05 - Crude CV input (TR-626 playing rhythm, x0xb0x as CV source)
17:13 - Black and white visualization output demo (keyboard sounds)
18:20 - Audio input distorted (x0xb0x as audio source)
19:18 - B&W visualization output (from external audio input)
20:25 - Video input distortion
22:23 - Link opens a treasure chest! (hex keyboard)
