"AWM Sound
All sounds in the CBXT3 are produced using AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) technology. AWM is a technique for digitally recording waveform data of original sounds, resulting in a very accurate recorded sound. Sound samples are stored in the CBXT3's internal ROM (Read Only Memory).

Voices
The CBXT3 uses the elements stored in its ROM to form Voices. The 192 basic instrument Voices include: piano, electronic piano, guitar, bass, strings, brass, and more.

Multi-Timbral
The CBXT3 is Multi-Timbral, meaning it can produce up to 16 different Voices simultaneously.

Polyphony
The CBXT3 is 28-note polyphonic, meaning it can play up to 28 elements simultaneously. The 28 notes used are automatically and dynamically allocated among the CBXT3's 16 parts. With this feature, the CBXT3 can easily simulate a large band or orchestra.

Drum and Percussion Sets
The CBXT3 can generate a wide variety of drum and percussion Voices. These drum and percussion voices are all assigned to Part 10 and are divided into 10 style specific drum and percussion sets.

Digital Effects
The CBXT3 contains a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which is used to generate 8 digital effects, including reverb and delay.

MIDI Equipped
The CBXT3 is equipped with 16 MIDI channels and each channel has its own monitor LED on the front panel. And LED will light when its corresponding channel is being played.

Dynamic Voice Allocation
The CBXT3 uses a DVA (Dynamic Voice Allocation) system to automatically assign notes and MIDI channels. Up to 28 notes are available at any time, no matter which MIDI channel is being used.

Computer Interface
The CBXT3 has an integrated computer interface, which translates a digital instruments MIDI language into the personal computer's language and vice versa. This interface can be connected directly to a computer's serial or modem port.
Third Party Song Data
The CBXT3 is compatible with various third-party song data collections, including the General MIDI standard (General MIDI Level 1), general third party supplied data song collections for the computer."

"Now in 24-bit! Using an STP16 chip on the button board, this 4x4 pcb connects to a ATtiny2313 microcontroller (7 pins plus power and ground are used on the uc, so even a attiny24 could be used). Using PWM, 24-bit color is obtained in the first part of the video to demonstrate color fading. In the later half, the buttons are used to change the color of the LEDs (selecting one of 8 colors).

"This is a demonstration of some of the sounds and features of the DAED Feedback Synthesizer from HelpWantedProductions.com/daed.htm.

It is not a song but rather a walk through of this little simple noise box with a powerful array of sounds. Handheld buzzes, drones, chirps, rumbles galore.

These are now available for sale on a very limited basis. Please visit Helpwantedproducions.com/Salez/FS.htm for this and other synths and circuit bent electronic instruments and effects."

Touch clock

Touch clock from Peter Speer on Vimeo.

"Following the Make Noise manual's suggestion for "stopping" the Wogglebug's clock by patching an otherwise unconnected cable into the Clock Input, I thought I'd try touching the end of the cable to advance the clock...

It worked!

Here's the patch:

The Wogglebug's Clock Out is sent to a mult, and from there to (a) the Gate In on an A-140 Envelope Generator and the Trigger In on an A-160 Clock Divider.

The Clock Divider's outputs are sent to an A-138c mixer's inputs, the output of which is controlling a Z3000 VCO (via an A-170 Slew Limiter, lightly-- basically a Binary Zone patch).

The Saw Out from the Z3000 is sent to the top half of the A-132-3 DVCA, and the Square Out is sent to the Signal In on an A-196 PLL. The Phase Comp Out from the PLL is sent to the bottom half of the 132-3 (and from there to the computer, right channel).

Both VCAs are being controlled by the A-140.

The top half of the 132-3 is sent out to a Frostwave Resonator and a Blue Ringer (and from there to the computer, left channel).

The Resonator's Low Pass Frequency is being controlled by the Wogglebug's Stepped Output.

Touching the tip and the sleeve of the Clock cable at the same time advances the clock by one step; touching the tip alone cycles it very quickly.

I'm sure with a bit of attenuation, this could be more precise!
