Baby Blue Circuit Bent Synth with Keyboard

via this auction
"here is "Baby Blue".....designed with the details and looks of the classics, but in one micro package...... measuring 12" across, by 9" wide, and 6" high, this unit is compact but big on functions.....it was quite the challenge to bring together five separate circuits, switching, patch bay, and a fully functional 23 key toy piano together....the result is a one of kind synthesizer that cannot [can?] produce some awesome sounds....best of all you can feed your other bends/guitar/bass/keyboard into the patch bay for some sick sounds!!!....this thing will surely turn some heads!

check out the hardware:
-the chassis is built from solid select pine wood, it has been sanded to an extremely smooth finish , and stained with a hand rubbed mid walnut finish...all joints have been glued/brad nailed/puttied for superior strength....
-the control plates are all metal.....galvanized steel on the angular control panel, aluminum side control panels...each panel has been hand painted baby blue with a tough enamel.....all hardware screws are stainless steel.....
-the unit is built with the highest quality parts.....there are 9 enclosed switchcraft jacks in the patch bay, each with stainless steel jack nuts....8 micro alps toggle switches.....2 micro momentary push button switches..... a mix of 6 bournes/alpha potentiometers.....6 vintage styled knobs with aluminum inserts...and 6 3mm yellow LED's......
-there are four handbuilt analog circuits and two bent digital circuits.....each has been built or bent with silver solder, for the best signal transfer and solder point strength....

here are the unit's details:
the unit is comprised of a fuzz circuit, a 20 second sampler, a pulse effect/LFO, and a notch filter....each effect can be patched together (in a number of different arrangements) to produce some wild tones and effects.....patch bay order or arrangement will impact the overall sound many different ways.....each effect can be used seperately or in conjunction with one another, as each effect has an ON or BYPASS mode, meaning you can leave it entirely patched up, turning each effect on or off with out having to switch cords around or interrupt the sound.....very cool.....

controls are such:
FUZZ: IN/OUT on the patchbay, toggle ON/BYPASS, and a knob for THICKNESS/GAIN/WEIRD RESULTS
LOOPER/SAMPLER: IN/OUT on patchbay, toggle LOOP/SINGLE, a toggle for STORE/OVERWRITE SAMPLE, a toggle for RECORD HOLD, a pushbutton for SINGLE PLAY, a pushbutton for MOMENTARY RECORD, and a knob for LOOP RATE, loop duration is interval ON/OFF/ON
KEYBOARD: OUT on patchbay, toggle ON/OFF, VOLUME/GAIN/WEIRD RESULTS knob, and a MASTER PITCH knob, witch will bring you from crushing lows to earsplitting highs
PULSE/LFO: interchangeable but different sounding IN/OUT on the patchbay, toggle ON/BYPASS, a knob for RATE which will produce slow throbs in lower settings and speedy staccatos, well into to a blended LFO
NOTCH FILTER: IN/OUT on the patch bay, toggle ON/BYPASS and FILTER toggle,and a knob for FREQUENCY SWEEP" vids here
