"The unit is a normal Akai S700 sampler but has been circuit bent to include a 16 point RCA patch bay (divided into 8x2 point splitter bays) and 8x switches will affect any audio signal that you put into it.

Impossible to list all of the effects and sounds, but I have found pitch related effects, bizarre filters, self composing random melodies, rhythmic variations, delays, distortions and many more. Hundreds of sample altering possibilities -to use alone or in combination.

The circuit bent features do sometimes degrade the sampled audio if you try to use too many switches or bent points at one time. Initially it sounds like a record crackling and will get louder. This is easily reset by creating another sample."
