"Up for auction is a circuit bent Texas Instruments VOCAID unit. This unit is called the VOCAID BABELBOX. This unit will make bent voice/tone/loop sounds when you turn on any of the bend switches and touch the front panel. You can change the pitch by moving your hand over the photo sensor or touching the body contact and front panel or moving the pitchball.
This unit has 4 different underlay settings, each has 32 words or phrases that play back when you press the different holographic squares. The different underlay settings are set by 3 toggle switches on the top of the unit. It gives this unit a very large vocabulary,much larger than the standard Touch and Tell BABELBOX.
The size is approx: 14" X 10" X 1.5". The unit uses 2 "D" batteries for power (not included).This is a great instrument for live work or for sampling sounds in the studio.
The VOCAID units are getting harder to find so don't miss this chance to own a truly unique instrument! This may be one of the last of the VOCAID BABELBOX i make.
The unit you are bidding on is fully circuit bent and tested and ready to ship so you receive it in a few days. It will look the same as the one in the picture.
Here is a list of the circuit bent features:

Industrial noise synth
YouTube Uploaded by bubagoo on Dec 6, 2011
"Here's a clip of the performance synth I built over the summer of 2011. I just added an awesome rhythm section prototype circuit based on Eric archers amazing andromeda drum modules. The drum sequencer is basically just two CD4089 binary rate multipliers. I added a CD4024 binary counter for making more complex rhythm sequences and also added a CD40106 for inverting various signals to put everything in phase."
