Famous Alesis synth module, circuit bent to high heaven.. and sounding unbelieveable..

I didn't have much time to make this video so just played around a bit on a single preset setting (reed organ I think - strange choice!).

Again I used my QY-70 sequencer to play the MIDI notes (on this occasion a pre-recorded slowcore-ish piece)..

The circuit bends seem to affect most of the factory preset settings, if not all - it's impossible to say, as there are so very many sounds in this thing, just waiting to be messed with.

(I counted 5x banks of 128 programs and 100 mixes!)...of course this is before we even start to look at the possibilty of sysex patches!"

"Modifications:
6x Rotary Wheels (6 positions per wheel)
1x Master SPDT Switch (on-off-on)
8x SPDT Switches (on-off)

Heavily Modified Alesis Drum module..

Here I am just running through a couple of my drum sequencers preset patterns (Los Angeles Drums - mwahhhhh!!) and using the D4 as a MIDI tone generator..

The circuit bent sounds are incredibly melodic. This is without a doubt one of my very favourite bends."

Incredibly beautiful, and easily varied self composition - via the 36 point rotary patch bay (which easily routes any of these points to any other) and the series of switches.. The SPDT switch (located at the centre of the interface) directs the flow of the entire signal..

Which path do you choose?

This is probably the most elaborate bend I have ever done.. I love it!!"
