CREATOY TRAIN
video upload by NOYSTOISE
"heavily modified and circuit bent Creatoy musical train toy from 1995.
for more info, visit www.noystoise.com"
via NOYSTOISE
"I found these two on Ebay in early November of 2024. They are somewhat generic looking train keyboards by the brand Creatoy from 1995. Many toys made by Creatoy from this era, and similar toys like them have a special place for me. As a child of the late eighties and early nineties, I would see a lot of these lesser known toys at friends' houses, and school growing up. At the time, it seemed like there was no shortage of these off-brand obnoxious toys everywhere. Now they seem to be harder to find. When I have a little extra cash, I love to scour Ebay for these types of forgotten relics."

Alienized circuits AL-110 mk2 - modded Boss DR-110

"Great modded rhythm machine that gets some great sounds and beats that you can’t get from a regular Boss DR-110. Plugged it in to my guitar amp and phono jack and worked nicely. The only thing I can tell is a bit wonky is the power switch. There has been a few times I turned it on and it glitches but goes back when I turn it off and on again."

Yamaha VSS-200 Digital Voice Sampler + Patch Bay
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"Rare 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 are included) which allows for the further processing of any sample recorded via the onboard microphone or phono input. The patch matrix generates an array of aliasing, bit crushed, stuttering, bleeping, warped digital degradation, offering numerous unique lo-fi sound design possibilities. See the chapters in the YouTube video description for more details."
Video previousy posted here. Note the patch points are different.

Alesis HR-16 High Sample Rate 16-Bit Drum Machine - Circuit Bent
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this listing
"Professionally serviced and circuit bent HR-16 purchased a few years ago from this wonderful shop, Carolina WDWRX:
Includes 5 3’ stackable banana jack patch cables. All controls and outputs work. A few of the pads seem to require extra velocity to trigger the sound at full volume, but they all trigger easily. The select slider feels a little gummy but tracks values properly.
With no patch points engaged it sounds like a vanilla HR-16. When you start adding & stacking cables it makes all sorts of crazy noises. Now that I’ve extensively sampled it I’m ready to let it go. Probably a million sounds I missed but I’m focusing in a different direction."

Roland TR-505 + Custom Patch Bay and Pitch Control
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Luca Capozzi
Note the video above is of a similarly circuit bent TR-505.
via this listing
"Legendary 80s drum machine featuring a custom 24 point patch bay and pitch control dial. The patch bay allows for the creation of wide range of warped effects from aliasing, bit crushing and distortion to metallic timbres and digital noise while the pitch dial drives the onboard sounds from crashing, rumbling lows to clicking micro sound highs. Five stackable patch cables are included. The unit functions as normal when the patch bay is not implemented.
See the youtube video demo of a similarly modded unit for a good idea of the sounds this unit can produce."

The GND-1T (Speak & Glitch GND-1T) | Circuit Bent Speech Chip Synthesizer
video upload by Shirato_Noise
Follow-up to the Speak & Glitch GND-1
"I'm very happy to finally be able to introduce this instrument. The GND-1T is a synthesizer developed by Richard van Hoesel and is the successor to the GND-1. The major improvements are the touch screen and the addition of built-in drum sounds. This allows for the simultaneous generation of circuit bent speech chip sounds and chaotic rhythms.
This video introduces the preset sounds and twists them a bit. No additional effects.
Check out his web page for further details and manuals for this instrument.
https://richardvanhoesel.com/gnd1t/
As a backstory, I have provided a few sample sets for the drum sounds of this instrument. These are my acoustic drums, percussion sounds, and some unique synthesized electronic drum sounds. I hope you enjoy them!"

Yamaha DD-8 1992 Drum Machine with Custom Mods
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Canned Sound
via this listing
"Yamaha DD-8 1992 drum machine featuring a 20-point modulation patch bay. The unit also includes a joystick for immediate performance of four additional effects which are also combined on the diagonal axes for further processing options.
Both of these custom modifications unlock an array of original sounds and rhythmic variations; making a single connection on the patch matrix alters the output but applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex, sometimes aleatoric range of reversed, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing and delayed sounds, additional accents, rhythmic patterns and digital noise. Additionally, the five included patch cables can be stacked for further sonic manipulation.
The DD-8 includes a wide range of rhythmic styles, sound effect samples, 9 percussion sets and echo, flam and roll effects.
The patch bay and joystick affect the 100 tempo adjustable onboard rhythms and, depending on the connections, the velocity sensitive drum pads. The 20 different preset drum and percussion sounds can be individually assigned to each pad. The unit functions as normal when the patch bay is not implemented.
Mains (9- 12v DC) and battery powered (6 x AA), features a 1/4" output, no onboard speaker."
