Side note: now and then I get word verification when posting. For this one the word was STEIM. Thought that was a bit in spirit / interesting.

Casio Vl-Tone Circuit Bent

YouTube via kenzie2029 | August 31, 2010

"As you can see from my blog, this is not my first attempt at bending my Vl-tone. The first time through was OK, but glitchy. For my top panel I used a piece of stainless steel that unfortunately conducted the current from my potentiometers dropping the pitch. Also at the time, the only wire I had was too thick and stiff to work with. So I decided to rip it all apart and start over. This is what I did.

So here are the mods. I used a little help from Casper electronics, he has a mod sheet that gives you a few patch points and three pots. I ended up only using four of the patch points and all three of his pot mods. I also added three extra pots by externally replacing the VLs internal pots. Then I tested and tested and found twelve other patch points that I liked. So that is from the left all the pots and the black RCA jacks.

As for the white RCA jacks, they function as a switch bay triggered by the switches to the right. The smart observer will notice there are nine switches in the array. One turns the bay into a multiple, the top row (on-off-on) engages the bay or sends it to the switches below. Those switches a attached to capacitors and diodes to further change the sound. The pots about the switch array are part of a home made low pass filter with frequency and resonance. Then there is a volume and reset button."

FAT BASTARD

A few drool worthy pics in via Lester Barnes in response to Bernie's Wahalla Monster Modular. If you have access to his Facebook photo album, currently you will find 21 glorious pics of what could only be called FAT BASTARD. Is there any system bigger? Bigger than TONTO, and bigger than the system in Hans Zimmer's studio?

Anyway, I think Beer has Bernie beat. :) Put some clothes on man!

BTW, Beermaster's Fat Bastard gets credit for me setting up my Flickr account back in 2005! Here's the first set. The bottom pic of the Polyfusion in this post is from that set. I tried to check the exact date I uploaded the pic to see if it matched the date of the original post, but I'm not seeing it. But I did see this: "This photo was taken on August 19, 2002 using a Pentax Optio 330." Flickr must pull the info from the digital meta data in the pic, because I didn't add that. :)

Again, I think I need an everything label. Some random ones picked...

PhotoNoise

YouTube via JCRUDESS | August 31, 2010

"This one slipped through the radar. It's an app called PhotoNoise. It's my choice to have the keyboard picture, but ANY picture can be used, and the sound responds to touching the various colors on the screen. Very spacey cool stuff here. I hope the developer goes on with this one, because I like this kind of stuff and I want play along!"
