"Here we have a Benstruments, circuit bent Texas Instruments Speak & Read. Just like the Speak and Spell, exact same voice only the Speak and Math has better beat looping in my opinion. You also have a small vocabulary of words you can type in and the read will say the word typed. Works as a normal Speak & Read until you flip a glitch switch.
new controls:
Opto-Theremin Pitch Control with on/off switch
Pitch control knob that slows it to 8 bit sputtering and super fast high chattering.
Tone oscillator button that creates a tone you can then manipulate with the pitch controls like a theremin
1/4" output jack that shuts off the onboard speaker when you plug into an amp or pa system
Strobing blue LED for effect
Active matrix glitch switch that causes glitching with each push of the membrane
Loop switch with on/off and advance button for cool beat loops
Reset switch to get it back to normal
Glitch forever switch that sets the speak into constant gibbering of incoherent sentences Dual voice glitch switch that causes it to speak in both a high pitch and low pitch at the same time Ive added all the coolest mods you can find on these sweet robotic bent synthesizers. I guarantee all of my bentstruments for as long as you own, my work is solid and ive modified hundreds of toys and synths that are employed the world over by both famous and amateur musicians. Great piece to bring some creativity to your work."
