Serge Creature Drone - FM Bombs by parasitk
"Dual Creature M-odules. Two TGO saw waves (left side) into a VCFQ, with LFO (TGO right side and S/SG cross mod) modulation of resonance and cutoff. Pretty straightforward. But the second VCFQ is being triggered and the resulting sine burst is FMing the first filter. Lovely.

PS: The photo is not of this patch."

Circuit Bent Elmo

YouTube Uploaded by FrankenMusik on Jul 10, 2011

"Yet another fun Elmo Bent Toy. Originally this toy was a Silly Parts Talking Elmo. Unfortunately I do not have any of the accessories, but he is still loads of fun to play/sample from.

There are two basic mods, pitch control and power starve. About half way into the video I switch over to added effects; space like sounds from Elmo.

" Power Starve
1/8" Output Jack
Pitch Control
Pitch Control Switch: Pitch ON/OFF/(ON)
Runs on 2 "AA" Batteries

This is a custom Circuit Bent toy that offers some great sounding glitches. Alter Elmo's voice and send him into drones by limiting the power to the CPU (brain); this is the Blue Control knob atop Elmo's head-appropriately place.

Originally this was a Silly Parts Talking Elmo and unfortunately I do not have all the accessories. Released in 2003 and discontinued in 2009. From what I gather a bit of rare toy, but not my forte. I fashioned a couple of aluminum pins that activate the switches in Elmo's body. The switches (8 of them) are located at his hands, feet head, belly and nose. If you have plans to dress him up, you are out of luck :).

Electronically, this moderately modified toy is in great working order. Battery cover is in place. Elmo has some minor scratches and scuffs."

CAUSTIC - Control Automation (knob recording)

YouTube Uploaded by CausticApp on Jul 9, 2011

"This short video shows how to record knob positions for playback, aka controller automation.

This new feature lets you add much more character to your songs by changing values over the length of the track. You can accomplish classic things like filter sweeps and volume fades. Any automation will be saved into your file and exported into output files."

"This video explains how to use the various sections of the SubSynth machine in CAUSTIC for Android.

The subsynth is probably the most complicated machine in the rack so I thought I'd give it its own tutorial. This video also shows off the cool new "Waveform Editor" that allows you to draw a waveform right on your Android device and use it as the starting point for your SubSynth preset.

Inside an Akai AX-73

(click for more)

"The Akai AX-73 is too big/heavy to be portable and has a very minimal control surface...perfect for a chop job. Thus was born the Akai AX-37.

It was a bit of work, with the hacksawing through the all-steel chassis and cramming the boards together, but it all works!

The walnut ends are from a fellow who does *very* nice work and is offering them for sale for the AX-family. I think they really make this project look quite classy."
