CASIO VA-10 CIRCUIT BENT VOCODER SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"This model is an amazingly useful and versatile studio piece on it's own, never mind it being a professionally circuit bent version by SPUNKYTOOFERS, like this specimen. Aside from being an amazing synthesizer, it also functions as a great vocoder."

"these are rare keyboards. this one was sent in on commision. casio va-10 is a keyboard and a multi-effects processor which can effect sounds onboard or from external ins. an ambitious keyboard for the consumer market that didn't make it far for production.

this keyboard had alot of bends that were unstable so i just went for a simpler approach to effect the effects processor.. the kinds of control you can apply to the effects proccessor range from feedback depth, unique ring modulations, continously variable bit depth reduction, clocking the pitch shifters like a whammy, psychadelic panning effects, strange sounding chorus sounds, modulating pitch for sampling and delay playbacks, etc etc.. some of the multi effects onboard controls aren't very useful but when bent some in particular are very effective.

on this keyboard besides various ways to control the effects i've added an onboard sample looper that is sent from a seperate output from the main outputs on the keyboard.

in this demonstration the self oscillation from the delay feedback from the effects is used as it's own as an instrument.. there are various ways to EQ the delay feedback, vary it's modulation and depth, and it can be pitched just like an analog delay feedback..

that plug is a power cord 9V negative tip. the sound you hear is coming from the speakers on the instrument in this demonstration

it's a really great piece of casio gear.. when bent it probally is one of the more unique effects processors out there.. good luck if you ever find one.. this one has to be sent off unfortunately.."

Blacet Hex Zone Sequencer SS 2800 16 Step for Modular Synth

via this auction
"Here is what Blacet says about it on their site: The Blacet SS2800 Hex Zone is a microprocessor controlled 16 stage sequential switch with programmable extras such as 2 control voltage outputs per step, gate width per step (+ rest, hold, loop ) and dividable clock out. All programmable features are automatically stored in non-volatile memory. The memory holds 32 sequences and 60 “chains” of sequences.

The module has an internal clock that may be programmed in BPM or TPS (Time Per Step) or an external clock may be used. External inputs are also provided for Gate and Reset. The sixteen switches are fully bidirectional so that the “Switch” jack can be an input or output. The active switch can follow the logical sequence or the module can be programmed to activate any switch on any step. A random function is also available. A high quality rotary encoder with a built in push button switch is used to select most programmable settings. The push button can be used in the sequence edit mode to step through the sequence, allowing fast editing. A backlit LCD display provides easy to read information. We designed the Hex Zone to get you up and running and having fun without having to plow through hundreds ofmanual pages of esoteric features and complex menus!"
