Diabolical Modified Casio SK-1 Features: 16 point circuit-bending interface: Heavy-duty 1/8" jacks on hand made turret board panel. This patch-bay allows you to scramble sound data as the synth addresses it, and the result is an endless variety of weird effects, noise, filtered and modulated bends, and one of a kind sounds (seriously, you might one hear some things once). It's a mixed bag of playable bends and bends that play themselves. These patch locations will affect each preset sound differently and also affect samples and chord/auto-play functions. This patch-bay also allows you to cross-patch with other bent devices for more ROM scrambling goodness.

4 Hard wired toggle switch bends: Preset circuit bent points at the flip of a switch

Clock/Pitch mod: An external clock generator has been added. When engaged you have control over the master pitch of all keyboard voices, drum sounds, and bent sounds ranging from well above to WAY below original pitch. This modification has a bypass switch, pitch control and LED status indicator.

Graphic Editor for the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP & Audio Numberz

http://itijik.com/zdspde.html

"Display text editor for use with TipTop Audio Z-DSP, and TipTop Audio Numberz.

The editor is able to open and save .txt files, for quick text recall with Z-DSP screen formatting. It also exports .hex files if needed. But the coolest part is...it now writes directly to Numberz! Just one application for all of your text editing. No more using pickit2 and having to select devices or eprom parts. Just click the write button, confirm and its done!

Please donate to show your appreciation for our programmer. He has made an awesome tool for our Z-DSP projects!...and has done it on his own time!

This donation will not only help with the continuous stream of Mountain Dew needed to keep the code flowing, but it will also encourage future development for the modular community. Thank you."

BUGBRAND Weevil08 synth oscillator touch

via this auction

Description via BugBrand where you'll find samples.

"Released Feb08
Here's the new Weevil08 - three lo-fi oscillators quasi-ringmodulated together, with PowerStarve, Filter, 9-point-TouchPlate and internal MiniAmp.

While the core Weevil circuitry is similar to the Postcard, the sonic results are quite different - for one, each Osc has a range switch for Hi tones or Lo clickety, and the output levels are much more stable due to a comparator circuit (don't worry - there's still loads of chaos within!). The combination of PowerStarve and responsive TouchPlate opens up a vast array of sounds that are played in a way unlike any other instrument. The internal MiniAmp is now a standard feature and gives a pretty different tone/response from the output jack. Plugging in a jack conveniently disconnects the internal MiniAmp.

This is a newly standardised version built with pro-PCBs for improved feel and replicatability, available in Green or Red with chunky knobs in a sprayed plastic case and running off a single 9V battery.

You can check the block diagram for details of the internal arrangement, but it may be best just to listen to the mp3 demo (11MB) that wobbles through some of the wide-ranging sounds available!"
