Circuit Bent Yamaha QY70 music workstation by LoFi Future


video upload by LoFiFuture

"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p..."



"Circuit Bent Yamaha QY70

I have explored the brains of this classic piece of gear and returned with a selection of circuit bends I deem worthy.

10 toggle switches can activate 10 data crushing ROM based hacks one knob acts as a "character" control, panning it left or right changes how the toggle switches behave.

Describing the sounds this thing makes in words is useless, so check out the demo video listed above!

Please note: the battery compartment has been removed to make space for the new switches, it can only be powered by its DC input"

Casio SK-5 8-Bit Sampling Keyboard + 50 Point Patch Bay

"Rare 1987 Casio SK-5 8-bit sampling keyboard custom modified with a 50 point patch bay. This is a strange, lo-fi, challenging but rewarding instrument which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer."

"Rare 1987 Casio SK-5 8-bit sampling keyboard custom modified with a 50 point patch bay. This is a haunted, lo-fi, challenging but rewarding instrument which will inspire any alternative electronic musician and sound designer. Nothing is obvious here- the keyboard itself doesn't always function as you'd expect while the patch bay opens up a world of experimental audio possibilities, far outreaching Casio's original intentions- remember, it isn't broken, it's just weird.

When the patch matrix is implemented, an array of warped sounds and effects are generated; applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex range of cyclic, pitch dropped, fractured, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing digital noise and bizarre sequences which affect the presets, onboard rhythms (speed rushes of laser, lion and drum samples) and any sound you record using the sampling feature. The SK 5 is also very good at producing complex drones and atmospheres which can be developed using the five included patch cables- these can also be stacked for further sonic manipulation.


Specs:
Sample reverse and loop functions
8 PCM tones: piano, vibraphone, dog, surf, trumpet, organ, chorus, flute.
10 rhythms: rock 1/2, disco 1/2, 16 beat, march, bossa nova, samba, slow rock, waltz.
Holds 2 samples: 8-bit PCM, 9.38kHz, approx. 1.4 seconds + 4 samples @ 0.7 seconds.
Sample tune +_ 1 octave
4 sample pads
4 rhythm pads: laser, lion, hi bongo, lo bongo
496 step sequencer
32 keys
6 envelope options"

Circuit bent Yamaha DD-8 - Experimenting with BandPass Filter

video uploads by batchas

"I wanted to tame the whistle which affects badly the DD-8 sound when the frequency is pitched down. This high pitched whistle can be very annoying as it can be extremely loud!
So I installed a Buchla 194 filter and a mixer on the DD-8. It enables me to divide the internal DD-8 signal into four frequency bands that I can adjust and mix together.
I use my Scrotum Lab’s Le Seq to modulate the frequency of the DD-8. Le Seq is clocked by the DD-8.
I made an external box with a voltage controlled clock divider. It allows to divide the weird DD-8 clock and drive my Le Seq external sequencer. Efx = Hologram Microcosm"

Yamaha VSS 200 Sampling Keyboard + Patch Bay Demo

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by

"Rare 1988 stereo keyboard which combines 100 2-op FM preset sounds, 10 rhythms and an 8-bit sampling function incorporating a four stage envelope generator and 9 adjustable DSP effects. This unit has been custom modified to include a 14 point patch bay (five stackable patch cables included) which allows for the further low-res processing of any sample recorded via the onboard microphone or phono input (jack to phono adapter included). The patch matrix generates aliasing, bit crushed, stuttering, bleeping, warped digital degradation, offering numerous unique lo-fi sound design possibilities.

00:00 Intro.
00:03 Voice sample ('1, 2, 3') processed with the 14 point patch matrix.
03:35 Sampled rhythm loop processing with the 14 point patch matrix.
09:06 Voice sample edited using the loop and u-turn features played across the keyboard.
10:26 Voice sample edited using the loop, u-turn and frequency modulation features.
11:03 Voice sample edited using the loop, u-turn and amplitude modulation features.
12:01 Some preset voice demos.
13:52 Preset rhythm demos.
14:53 Sampled rhythm loop played up and down the keyboard.
15:28 Sampled rhythm loop processed with the u-turn feature.
15:47 Sampled rhythm loop processed with the frequency modulation feature.
16:12 Sampled rhythm loop processed with the reverse feature."

Talk with Yukes——“ Why I Prefer an Electronic Instrument, Instead of an Acoustic One?"


video upload by Meng Qi

"Yukes excels at all kinds of plucked string instruments. He told me His stage name Yukes is derived from the word 'Ukulele,' and when he put his name into Google Translate, it resulted in '玉刻' (Yukes), which means 'Jade Carve' literally in Chinese. In our culture, one well-known adage goes like this: 'Jade needs to be carved to become finest.' This string instrument player from the US seems to have a destined connection with Chinese traditional culture.

Later, he studied the Guzheng at NYU Shanghai and self-taught other Chinese traditional instruments, such as the Xiao and Zhongruan. Just as we marveled at how an American musician could show such extraordinary skills in Chinese traditional instruments, he surprised us once again by expressing his passion for electronic instruments or, more precisely, the electrification of traditional instruments. So, what exactly is it? Is it a corruption or betrayal of tradition? Can traditional instruments and electronic instruments coexist on the same stage? I hope that my interview with Yukes can answer these questions."

Yamaha DD-11 with Custom Patch Bay and Sound Storm Switch Mods.

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Canned Sound



via this auction

"Rare 1990 stereo drum machine featuring a custom 'sound storm' switch which generates a deep, rumbling, soundscape which glitches and evolves until the unit is switched off. The 25 point patch bay modulates the onboard rhythms and sounds to generate an array of original effects and rhythmic variations. Making a single connection can dramatically alter the output but applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex range of fractured, reversed, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing and delayed effects, arcade sounds and digital noise, alternative rhythmic patterns and additional accents. The five included patch cables can also be stacked for further sonic manipulation.

Features:
8 velocity sensitive drum pads.
100 preset rhythms.
10 drum kits.
1/4" stereo output.
2 x onboard speakers.
608 mm x 281 mm x 105 mm.
Takes a 9v power supply or batteries.
MIDI In, Out."
