M-Z3R0 - circuit bent - Yamaha DD-11 'HELLFIRE II' drum machine

YouTube via manufacturedZ3R0 | Mar 1, 2011 |

"My most heavily modded 8 pad Yamaha DD drum machine yet. Well worth the time put in to get it all working.

25 switch glitch matrix.
Version II 'destruction interface' giving access to:
Death industrial delay circuit with filter, rate & feedback.
K-Filter resonant low pass filter.
Distortion circuit.
Pitch control.

All the usual glitch mods found on most modified DD's are there but it can now do a lot more. Percussion, drones, ambience, rhythm loops.
A line input is also fitted so it can process external gear. Pre-amped mics, synths, other drum machines etc etc."

via this auction

"The Diabolical Modified Casio SK-1 custom version is the new and improved circuit-bent glitch monster from Diabolical Devices. Create vast sound-scapes, unique synth sounds and total chaos, all packed inside your favorite childhood toy. The Casio SK-1 is loaded with original features, sampling capabilities, and great sounds (for what it was....) **When no modifications are engaged this will behave as a 100% stock Casio SK-1 Diabolical Devices aka Class A Electronics, LLC is a leader in Professionally Modified Synthesizer and Audio Equipment, Expert Repair Services, and has a full line of Hand-Wired Tubes Amplifiers and Effects (Diabolical Amplification). Their work has been featured at NAMM, art galleries, music videos, countless tech blogs, and used by musicians all over the world, professionals and enthusiasts alike. The circuit-bending and synth mods are the work of head-technician James Gramling who has spent the last 12 years in professional audio service and electronics prototyping. Check out the new www.circuit-bent.com for updated specs, custom work questions, and new releases from Diabolical Devices

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.

MIDI input: www.highlyliquid.com
1/4 audio output: Original speaker has been removed."

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."
