akai ewi with circuit bent speak and math cv midi synth
YouTube via spunkytoofers
"the akai ewi 3000 uses control voltages and has an all analog signal path with it's dedicated module. in this example the ewi 3000m module sends midi to the speak and math as well as control voltages brought to the surface of the 3000m on banana jacks. the banana jacks are sent to a cv control box which is essentially a foot switch box with various logic functions and and open ended patchable interface. ewi controls overall pitch of the speak and math based on pitch fingering cv output in conjunction with octave key cv output. the midi is a retrofit kit available by highly liquid and accesses the speak and math's rom by triggering key commands. this modification gives the user a wealth of circuit bent sounds accessed by midi note triggering. the speak and math's output is sent back to the 3000m's analog amplifiers and filters via breath control on the ewi. there are various note sustain loops and a photo theremin available on the surface of the speak and math via stomp switches. the stomp switches activate leds to indicate on/off. also a big knob with a rubber boot that can be played with the feet.. this is my first run through of my speak and math cv midi synth"
polycontrol-robot44 Analog Synth Pop
YouTube via MASCHINENMUSIKREC
"POLYCONTROL released their debut CD " Symphony in C/V " in 2006. With their charming 80ties Synth Pop influenced style they immediately got a very good response from their auditors.
Using a lot of old analogue synthesizers from the 70ties and 80ties, combined with modern software equipment, POLYCONTROL create a sound that is warm and harmonic, retro and modern at the same time.
This particular song was created with Korg MS 20 and Sequential Prophet One, sequenced with the ORION software by Synapse Audio."

$20k BIN on this one.
"Specifications
Polyphony - 8 times two patches

LFO - 5 waveform function LFO can modulate either or all of VCO, VCF and VCA
Filter - HP, res, LP, res, filter ADR envelope
VCA - Mix in for the VCF out and the sine, ADSR
Keyboard - 61 weighted keys w/ velocity and polyphonic aftertouch
Control - external modulation input

External Input for special sub oscillator effects - It allows for modulation of the filter, oscillator or amplifier by line-level sources, such as external oscillators, rhythm boxes, or other "cyclic" electronic instruments. The input is high impedance,so it will not overload the external device.

Circuit Bent Speak and Spell
"Circuit Bent Speak & Spell w/MIDI by Radial77
This is a vintage Texas Instruments Speak and Spell modified by yours truly for the purpose of musical creativity and sonic exploration.
Features and functions:
- MIDI Enabled: This allows it to be triggered from a sequencer, drum machine, DAW, keyboard, or anything capable of sending MIDI signals.
- Glitch matrix composed of two glitch sets (three toggles on right and left edges). The switches can be used alone or combined with other switches and features for unique sounds ranging from unique glitch sounds from different keys on the keypad to randomizing/incantor sounds.
- Pitch Knob with activation toggle (bottom left front and side), which moves the pitch both up and down.
- Loop button (top right front) with loop hold switch (top right edge), which loops the current tone for as long as you wish.
- 1/4 inch mono output jack for routing to external mixer, DAW, etc. Mono, which means you may only hear sound on left side while using headphones or stereo signal setup.
- Green LED, which is triggered as each sound is played.
- The unit functions normally as designed when mods are not in use.
- The factory speaker works as designed. Good for when you don't want the hassle of cables.
- The factory 3.5mm headphone jack works as designed for use with standard headphones.
- The original battery cover was not included when I acquired this unit, but tape works fine if you can't think a better solution.
- Powered by 4 C-type batteries (not included). Feel free to try your own power supply, but only AT YOUR OWN RISK. Since the unit is circuit bent, seller is not liable for any electrical mishap when using alternative power sources :)"
