"It works perfectly, with one exception, which is that the light illuminating I string 1 does not turn on. The voice works fine, it's just the little bulb inside the switch that is not in service."

"vintage synth demo by RetroSound

Sequential Circuits Prophet 600 Analog Synthesizer (1982), the first synth with Midi;
the demo shows the different sound settings (VCO, VCF, Sync, Filter-FM) and some self-made retro sounds

For me one of the most underrated analog synths ever. The sound is fantastic, a bit different to the big brother Prophet-5."

Circuit Bent Bliptronic 5000 glitchy grid synth

"Yay! This thing was a pain to get back together due to the limited space on the inside but I made it work. I'd recommend anybody who plans on bending one of these to

1. Be very careful, I fried an IC by not being careful the first time and it became basically useless. This is my second one.

2. Make a breakout box rather than mounting the controls on the synth itself... I found a lot more inside of this thing but had to just keep what I thought were the best bends since there wasn't enough room for almost anything else :/

Information on the mods have been posted here: http://tinyurl.com/bliptronic5000bends

Share your bends! What good is it to keep knowledge of discovery all for yourself?! If you do use my bends I'd appreciate being credited :] Finding your own bends is so much more gratifying so make sure to poke around for yourself, too."
