www.punksynth.com Circuit bent Speak and Spell circuit bending tutorial

YouTube via punksynth | August 09, 2010

"Here is a look at the speak and spell that I recently bent. There is a tutorial here....

It is also for sale on ebay at this address....

The tutorial will show you how to bend one of these wonderful machines."

via this auction

"This is a brilliantly modified Texas Instruments Speak and Spell. It has 5 main bends or modifications. Of course you have a pitch adjustment knob. That can also be toggled on and off with the switch right to the left of it.

You also have a loop or repeat feature that is really creative and fun. You can activate this mod by the switch in the far left of the row of 4. Also it can be activated momentarily by the black pushbutton at the top left. The next three switches are crazy cool bends. They throw this into a frenzy of insaine sounds. The great part about this bend is that it doesn't crash. One minute you are making crazy out of this world sounds, turn off all the mods and the next minute it acts as if it was never bent.

The front panel has been replaced to allow for more room. I love the look of this and have yet to see it anywhere else. Behind the new panel are 3 blue LED's that I included to make this look just amazing."

Squidfanny - Metallic Green VL-1

YouTube via squidfanny | August 10, 2010

"Love it or hate it, you gotta admire the elegance of the VL-1. This one's got a custom Metallic Green & Titanium paint job as well as flashing lights where the screen used to be.

Settled on 6 of the best sonic mods for the VL-1. Didn't bother with the pointless stuff or the silly side cheeks, as the vl-1's best feature is it's pocket sized shape.

Anyway, just been given another vl-1, so this one's destined for Ebay in a day or two....."

Punksynth Circuit bent "Mini Synth" Dual oscillator with LFO

via these auctions

"This is one of the newer creations here at Punksynth land. It is a dual oscillator synth with a squaretooth LFO. The goal was to create something with a small form factor so that it could be affordable to everyone.

I have built hundreds of synths and sold them all over the world. You can be confident that it will be a well built little synth. This would be a great purchase for anyone curious about getting into synths or synth building. Take it apart figure it out, that would be encouraged.

The output jack is a 1/4 inch one and there is a DC jack to power it. This synth would fit in with a chiptunes repetiore quite well. It would also go quite well with any circuit bent item.

Who am I?

My name is Jeff and I run my own company called "Punksynth" I have been building synths and circuit bending for years now. I have built and sold hundreds of items that have shipped all around the world. This is my full time occupation. You can be assured that I have the time to spend all my attention on each build. I take pride in knowing my customers are getting a quality product that usually can't be found elsewhere. Most of the circuit designs are my own or my interpretations of others."

Minimoog Model D with Serial # 7745

via this auction
"The item, based on the date codes stamped on the parts is from the mid 1970's. This item is in very good shape and sounds excellent. Here at Analog Outfitters, we specialize in repairing and rebuilding vintage electronic instruments. In this case we recapped the whole unit. This required about 3 hours and over 30 caps. We only replaced the electrolytic type that fail with age, not any of the "coupling" caps that can impart good tone. We cleaned all the pots and faders and gave the inside a thorough cleaning. One problem that many instruments have is dirty interconnects between boards. In this case we cleaned all of those contacts and the unit sounds excellent!!! We have included a picture of the boards after they have been recapped. This procedure greatly improves the low end in any piece of gear and makes everything sound punchier."
