circuit bent yamaha pss790 vector synth. drum kit, basic 8 track sequencer, auto accompainments,preset rhythms.the onboard joystick can vector through 4 assignable voices. also multi-timbral over midi. preset tone module although if you want to synthesize the tone that is what the modifcations are for. 24 point patch bay. 1 point dedicated to self composition and can be connected through potentiometer before patch bay. it controls the rate and depth of glitches continously until it sustains the current sound. glitches will often reconfigure the vector with new voices, create new sounds and textures, and give alot of random results which can be self composed or resynthesized to be controlled by the keyboard, onboard or outboard sequences, or external midi control.4 points are switchable before main patch bay. lfo and overall continous pitch control via clock substituion.

vector synths are primarily known for their evolving textures and deep sounds and this is pretty much the most unusual one of them all (the most basic vector synth prior to modifcations) if not somewhat limited by the general midi implementation.

3 part demo. all sounds are unprocessed coming directly from the keyboard's onboard speakers recorded via camera's onboard mics. because of it's seemingly endless sound possiblities this demo is only a small sample of it's capabilities."

SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS Prelude

via this auction

"Sequential Circuits Prelude 49 Key Synthesizer. Made in Italy in 1982.
The Prelude is a 4-section orchestral synthesizer consisting of Piano, Organ, Brass and String sections. Like many other similar 4-section synths of this type, all 49 keys will play simultaneously for 49-note polyphony. Two of the sections can be played at the same time. Though editability and storage are limited, it has an on-board chorus/flanger effect as well as a 7-band equalizer. The string sounds are the best feature of the Prelude, and the on-board effects and EQ are great for thickening and modulating the string sound beyond the scope of traditional orchestral sounds. The Prelude has a very appealing and intuitive Sequential-esque layout and appearance and is definitely one of the finest orchestral-type multitimbral synths among others in its class.
* Polyphony - 49 voices
* Oscillators - 1 per voice

Self Oscillating Blofeld Filters

Self Oscillating Blofeld Filters by g64
"WARNING!!!: this demo might contain some extreme frequencies so keep your volume low

again, blofeld only, no EQ or FX or post editing*
actually, there's not even any oscillators!!!
this demo only uses the blofelds filters with the resonance turned up to about 127
I play around with the internal overdrive and added the preset chorus and reverb settings for atmosphere

(NOTE:Trying this yourself may sound different with other mixers because of the extreme settings.
I used a mackie U420.)
*I did slice out areas of long silence where i was trying out different filter types, it didn't seem to work with the comb filters"
