Circuit Bent Soundtrack For Chad's Dentist Chair Nitrous Trip




"Chad Edwards had an dentist appointment and needed some funny sounds.
Made for Headphones.
Casio sk-1, Speak and Read (vocaid), Korg Volca Keys, Korg Monotribe, Critter and Guitari Pocket Piano and Secrets of the Universe Children's Desk."

Update: some additional info on the track:

"The first part is a circuit bent Casio Sk-1 for the drums and main sound. the rise sound is pocket piano. I played it all live into ableton. The monotron is the sample and hold filter sound that comes in in the 2nd part and goes til the end. The volca keys comes in on the second part and is the square wave choppy synth sound.The drums at the end are a loop. I wanted to use the monotribe drums but I couldn't get the sync in to work for some reason. I could sync the volca to the monotribe but not the other way around. Weird"

this speak and maths sounds out of this world its much cleaner sounding than the read or spell because it uses newer voice synthesis chips than older models. the glitch sounds are long and the loops can be very interesting if left alone for a long time."

Diabolical Devices (Class A) on eBay (RSS)


via this auction

"One of a kind Circuit Bent Speak and Spell professionally modified by Diabolical Devices. It was part of a recent art exhibit featuring works by James Gramling. It has been through a plastic deformation technique and was hand painted. Check out the cool stitches...
Modifications include a master pitch control, loop grab an hold switches, and two toggle switch activated glitches. Also added 1/4" audio output. When cable is inserted into audio output the internal speaker is deactivated. When none of the modifications are engaged this is a 100% stock Speak and Spell.

Because of the horrific and unnecessary surgery we preformed this unit will only run on a power supply (no batteries).

Be sure to check out the other items in our store. There are a couple more pieces for the same exhibit currently listed. International shipping is $45 worldwide."  Stitches.

The Daily Loops Project 02-01-13 - Circuit Bent Speak & Spell



"This loop has been created with an instrument that is a classic in circuit bending: Speak & Spell [wikipedia].

The first two minutes is a processing loop with a KP3, then you will listen all the letters of the alphabet in three different heights, normal (2:15), high (4:20) and low (5:55) I left a space between letter and lyrics for ease of handling."
