"You can order Kenny here: www.facebook.com/kennysdeathfx
Kenny's Death is the most kaputt sounding Fuzz-Workstation ever! 190€ + shipping.
Kenny's Death includes 2 circuits: The fuzz and the filter. The filter sounds quite trashy and has a nice overdrive on it´s own. By "Hypnose" you mix both effects (fuzz/filter), Cutoff and Resonance should speak for it´s own. The filter bleeds into the fuzz and the fuzz into the filter, what can sound quite sexy for example when you use fuzz only but set resonance to 100%. Kenny has 2 outs: One for fuzz/filter mix and one separate for the filter only."
"Hooked up the P3 to demonstrate it's ability to be creative with old skool sequencing, the minimoog is the only synth I can't midi , so just noodling with it;) Cheers for watching!"
"A very fancy Circuit Bent / Modded / Hacked PSS-460 FM Synthesizer......
Left speaker panel now contains an integrated Step-Sequencer, which is used to Twist, Modulate & Gate the sound, and can provide analog sync with suitable gear such as a Monotribe.
The PSS-460 has inside it a little analog Chorus circuit, which generates the fake stereo effect - Hardware Hacking reveals a clean LFO and a very rich sounding PHASER. I've also added an audio input socket on the back of the machine, so that external audio can be piped through the Phaser :)
The right speaker panel now houses an FM Glitch synthesizer, which allows access to an infinite amount of unique new FM sounds;
Glitch Buttons can generate entirely new patches, a Bolt-bay can be used to re-patch the FM chip, and hardwired Glitch buttons can be used to guide a live performance....
The vid is pretty self-explanatory (ie playing around with the new controls to generate sounds), but take particular notice of 7:45, where I generate a unique new instrument patch, using glitch buttons to craft the sound.
The Pss-460 (also known as the PSS-470, PSS-560 & PSS-570) is the best of all Yamaha's PSS-xx range. It's a pure FM machine, with FM drums and a little 'Digital Synthesizer' panel containing basic controls for creating a custom instrument patch.
I'm lucky enough to own another PSS-460, so this one's going up for sale on ebay in a day or two.
