"Once again the usual suspects screaming for their lives.
For once i did use a software filter from fab filter.

I have no idea why there is so much distortion the uploaded file was cleaner, I guess it is the raw underground youtube sound :]"

BrianPatrickLizards1226.mp4 - Circuit Bent Open Mic

YouTube via CremeDeMentia. Lizard's Liquid Lounge 12.26.09

Update via brian comnes: "the first set was a xoxbox (#150) into a Flight of Harmony PlagueBearer filter that was being tweeked by the CV out of a Moog LP201 pedal - needless to say that PlagueBearer was the bad boy in control - that was my first time with these three things together - it shows too

the circuit bending credo is that " there is no such thing as failure" and I helped prove that - Creme deMentia OTOH stole the show with his set"

Star Instruments Synare PS-1 Analog Drum Synthesizer

"Rare Synare PS-1 4 pad, 12 zone percussion synthesizer built around 1977-78. I am a Synare fan and have owned several units. In my 15 years of collecting these I have not seen or found one in better shape than this unit. I bought it new old stock from a music store that closed about 3-4 years back. Filmed on an iPhone using the built-in mic, so sound quality is much better via DI or though an amp. I hate to sell it, but need the $$$ (and rarely use it, as it's really a museum piece)..."

Update via bobketchum90 in the comments: "I got one of the very 1st models of this synth. I produced the audio demo for Star Instruments and they gave me one of the 1st Synares (SN 0097). I used it on an album project in 1977. The company gave me instructions on how to add a pedal that would raise/lower pitch and shorten or lengthen the envelope."
