Circuit-Bent Alesis HR-16 modular drum glitched beats

See the seller's other items for more.

"Circuit-Bent Alesis HR-16 by Diabolical Devices

This mega modified Alesis HR-16 is the first in a short series of HR mods in custom enclosures and loaded with features. The HR-16 is filled with circuit-bent craziness and unique drum/synth sounds. Check out the description of features below. When none of the modifications are engaged this machine functions like a 100% stock hr-16

Custom HR-16 FEATURES:

Circuit-Bending Interface: 1/8" patch-bay allow you access to bendable ROM locations. Linking these points with patch cables will generate a wide range off effects, synth tones, new sounds, and unique sound-scapes. The HR-16 is particularly responsive to CB mods and has one of the widest ranges in sound for a circuit-bent drum machine. Patch-bay also has 3 points joined for mulit patching, and the entire patch-bay is backlight with multi-color flashing LEDs. Leds randomly blink and fade into just about every color in the spectrum.

Patchable Components: (6) Patchable toggle switches and (1) patchable potentiometer allow you to control when bending points are linked and fine-tune some bends.

Dual Oscillator: Audio Frequency oscillator and LFO . When patched to particular locations this will generate tunable overtones and other unique sounds.

CLK/Master Pitch Control: Master pitch controls affects the pitch of all drum sounds but not the tempo of pattern of speed of other functions. Pitch ranges from well above to WAY below normal pitch, at low pitches you can get some really gritty bit-reduction sounds. Pitch is controlled with LED fader and features by-pass switch."

"This item is an 8-stage oscillator (4) audio frequency and (4) LFO's. Each stage has a pitch/speed control and a corresponding line on the patch grid. Waveforms are combined and modulated by linking x/y axis with LED patch pin. Each Audio oscillator has a switch that adds it to the main 1/4" output located on the back. Check out the video demo below. Hand made by James Gramling of Diabolical Devices."
