via PICSynth where you'll find additional details.

"Pressing the low C pedal produces a very low sounding - earth shaking tone (like a T-Rex is roaring)...The +/- detune setting produces a nice 'chorus' like tone."

Frankenwhiz Circuit Bent Whiz kid plus

via this auction

"This unit will work as normal with all bend switches off .This unit is designed for live performance, but it also works great for recording sounds in the studio. It can make some amazing sounds and loops! It makes sounds that you can't get from any other instrument! It can sound like a theremin or a spaceman on speed! Great for techno, sound FX, electronic music.





Here is a list of the circuit bent features:

- Get endless bent sounds and words with this switch. When you turn on the bend switch and you are in the right mode,you can get the unit to ramble on endlessly saying random words and bent sounds..

- 1 Glitch pushbutton that will also get the unit to make bent sounds and ramble on with random words.

- 1 loop switch that will "catch" or "Freeze" a bent or normal sound and repeat it. You can change the sound of the loop with the glitch button or the bend switch.

- 1 Loop advance pushbutton to move to the next loop when the loop switch is "on".

- 2 body contacts that will catch or change existing loops or sometimes they will just send the unit off in new sonic directions. Some of the best sounds come from using the body contacts.

- 1 Audio output 1/4" plug to send the signal to an amp or effects or to your computer line input. The internal speaker is turned off when you plug into this input.

- 1 Reset button to reset the unit if it crashes.

- 1 Alien Keypad with overlay to show where the different keys are.

- Works with 4 "C" cell batteries. NOTE: Has 1 Power adaptor input plug but I never used it. Power adaptor not included."

2 VCOs: + 2 SubOSCs:
- VCO 1:
Sägezahn / Rechteck
+ Sub-Oszillator (Rechteck)
(Saw, Pulse)

- VCO 2:
Wellenformen wie VCO1
+ Sub-Oszillator

- Noise (white)

-Ringmodulation
-Sync
-Osc FM (patchable)

Multimode Filter:
VCF: 12dB/Okt / Multimode
Oberheim-Style.
modulierbare charakteristik lpf-hpf-notch,bpf
CV-spannungssteuerbar!
Der "Morph" steuert den Filter per CV von Tiefpass nach Hochpass! Das ist das besondere und das Plus gegenüber dem SEM, bei dem das "nur" manuell geht

Filter is CV-controlled to morph from lpf to hpf..

2 LFOs:
- incl. S&H, 3 Ranges, very slow to very fast

3 Hüllkurven / Envelopes:
- Env 1: ADSR
- Env 2: ADSR
- Env 3: AD

* Mode Re-Trig for all gate outputs
* Midi Clock with clock division by N and Start/Stop control
* Edit all parameters by SysEx MIDI messages
* all parameters buffered in flash ram..
* CV output = 0 - 10V / Gate =0 - 5V
* PC Software to configure the interface by MIDI (no mac so far)
* Soon : Pitch Bend and 16bits emulation to generate very accurate V/Hz scales. just one more resistor and a firmware update needed"
