Null Object - Fast Eddie - Casio CTK-601 and TB-303

via Null Object:
"I tried to create something unique using the presets in the Casio CTK-601. This is basically a modern home keyboard but has midi and some fun controls. It cost me about $20 bucks in an op shop. I'm getting right into these little beastie synths at the moment. They are quite nasty and have terrible line levels out and are noisy but they are fun!

Synths
Casio CTK-601 (Drums + Sync)
Roland TB-303 (Midibass mod + circuit bending by Null Object)
Ableton Live (VST prossessing + recording)

The Casio's drum machine supplied the beats as a mono out with a stupidly low level out. I mashed up the sound a bit using GGain Dipped the EQ @ around 100hz and rolled down a little from 1k to around 10K. (Live's EQ) Then into the Stardust compressor

The TB303 played three different sequences as well as a blank sequence when it wasn't needed. It was hit with the Stardust compressor. The MDA Stereo. Then into the 4ormulator vocoder.

The Whole thing was rendered at 192k 32bit then loaded into Reaper where it was hit with the inbuilt Mastering Limiter.

Granted the song is not at all complex, I think it has a really interesting sound and one that would trick a lot of folk.

Thanks For listening."

You might recognize the steampunk-esque panels from this post.

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

"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."
