M-Z3R0 - circuit bent - ULTRA SA-8

"A circuit bent casio SA8 with many modifications:
Starting off with melody and a little lfo applied to the pads to good effect. Then degenerating into distorted rhythms, a few minutes of respite with some nice lfo pads and high feedback delay, then into an all out wall noise delay crash with a little lo-fi cover of a NIN number to finish off :)
K-Filter: fully analogue resonant low pass/high pass filter:
Gain.
Resosnance.
Cutoff.
HP/LP.
Lfo depth.
Death industrial crash delay:
Rate
White noise filter
Feedback
Damage control
(stock SA distortion and pseudo filter mods found on most modified casios)
Pitch modification
Lfo routed to filter cutoff and pitch
Deep crash
Dc hum elimination circuitry:
Silences the hum associated with cheap power packs. A necessity when using high gain circuits such as the resonant filter.
Altered to serve as a multi purpose synth/noise generator.
The video drags a little here and there. It was a hard machine to play a full bass/rhythm/melody style set on as unlike something like the pss30 it has no mini sequencer to record notes to jam to with. Ideally we'd have three hands for this kind of thing :)"
nonlinearity III
"Q: So what do you do?
A: I make sound instruments that no one's ever seen before, and then I teach myself how to play them.
Q: Do you play them well?
A: Well, if no one's ever seen one before, how can they tell if I'm playing it badly or not?
Triple soundbox-drone nonlinearity study, constructed and recorded during my 2011 residency at the Danish Institute for Electro/Acoustic Music, Aarhus and edited during a shorter residency at MOKS, Mooste. Glam-rock, audio-responsive soundbox built for KT."

Cyndustries PRIME DIVIDER
"Brand New Ready-to-Ship Synthesizer Module New Year Sale Special No Waiting!
The Rhythmic and Prime Divider modules are both comprised of seven independent frequency dividers with an input and logic-level output on each. The divider channels may be patched in series to derive any division factor. For example, to divide by 6, patch a divide-by-2 in series with a divide-by-3. The Rhythmic Divider has four divide-by-2 channels and three divide-by-3 channels. The Prime Divider channels divide by the prime numbers 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23. These two extremely versatile and complementary modules will find wide use in any size system.
LEDS on each signal flash to show exactly what is happening and where.
Because of their ability to divide up to seven different signals simultaneously (instead of only one input signal at a time as do traditional dividers), you suddenly have this new hub of activity to patch throughout your system.
The eighth input on each module is a global Reset jack for synchronization purposes, and is level sensitive - causing all dividers to hold at reset until the reset signal falls low. There is also a button for manual reset, and you can select whether the dividers reset all-high or all-low with a front panel switch!
All inputs feature our anything-to-logic processor circuit. Any waveform is accepted provided it crosses above 1 volt. This means you can patch in a .001Hz sine wave and a divide-by-2 will reliably make you .0005Hz. Complex waveforms which cross the 1V threshold multiple times per cycle will produce interesting results.
Given a square wave input, the outputs are guaranteed to be 50% duty cycle square waves out, (even for odd division factors). This is great for rhythm generation because the ANDs are positioned correctly. (If the input square wave is not at 50%, the output ANDs will swing. That is, the falling edges will not be precisely between the rising edges...)
In addition to all the rhythm and pulsing jobs these dividers do for you... Unique timbral possibilities abound when the modules are taken into the audio range! Patching in a mix of oscillators into a single divider yields wild chaotic intervals. (A Cynthia Sawtooth Animator module used as a source creates random octave shifts).
You can also generate fixed audio frequency intervals saving yourself oscillators. Patch a VCO into a divide-by-2 and a divide-by-3, mix the outputs and you�ve got yourself a fifth that tracks perfectly!
There are control voltage uses as well. Patch up your divider chain of choice and take various outputs into a mixer. Use the mix to control a VCO. Instant mini sequencer!
Will the fun ever stop?
