Circuit bending a Korg DW-8000


YouTube via GoodVIllain. via the forum, via GoodVillain's MySpace page.
"It is really dark because my cameras recording feature sucks. But the sound was dead on and I think that is the only thing that matters. Shorting out the legs for ICs 43-46 will cause the sweet glitching sounds. Those are labeled IC43, IC44, IC45, IC46. All other ICs will ruin your DW-8000. Thank me for sacrificing my DW for you. Also potentiometer substitutions can be made for trim pots VR1 and VR2 for some better pitch like tweaking. There are a ton of other trim pots but they didn't seem to make a difference."

VINTAGE ELECTRO HARMONIX SUPER SPACE DRUM


via this auction

"Electro Harmonix Super Space Drum effects pedal with original box and paperwork. This is a very cool and unusual effect, capable of creating very strange and versatile synthesized drum sounds. The Super Space Drum is an enhanced, more dynamic, version of the more common Space Drum. The obvious difference is that this pedal has two additional control parameters: 1) Modulation Depth, and 2) Modulation Rate. The remaining 3 controls are on both pedals: 1) Sensitivity, 2) Start Frequency, and 3) Stop Frequency. The relationship between all of the controls creates some of the best analog synth drum sounds.
The EH Space Drum is a vintage electronic drum pad and one of the first electronic synth pads created. It offers the player the ability to refine specific tones and create diverse drum sounds that can be fully controlled and manipulated with the drum pad controls: sensitivity, start frequency, stop frequency, modulation depth, and modulation rate. All of these controls allow a player to make a wide range of; tom tom sounds, bass drum sounds, snare sounds, sound effects, space sounds, explosions, mess.
The effect is in as new condition although it is over 30 years old."

Metasonix TM-3 Gas Tube Dual VCO w/ Midi

via this auction

"The TM-3 has two Sawtooth VCOs and a sub-oscillator. It has an audio in and a CV input that uses Hz/V. This particular TM-3 has the Synhouse MidiJack II kit factory installed!! These are rare and eliminate the need for you to buy a Midi to CV converter for Hz/V . Great on it owns, even better when used with a modular synth or other Metasonix or Moog pedals"
