X1L3 - circuit bent Casio SA-46 - The Void

Published on Dec 27, 2018 X1L3

"Setting a scene in a melodic set using the midi retrofit and a couple of presets through filter and delay. Backing and percussion generated in the DAW. A proof of concept machine - the panels are homebrew matt blacked FR4 with legend scratched on. The real deal will be the usual screen printed pro affair.

Where to get and what's in there below:

Fitted with a monophonic midi interface. The board is polyphonic but the amount of routing and circuitry required to implement this via midi isn't doable in the space available. The compromise is still cool though, giving a mix of automation that can be played over, plus being a bent machine it can pull off all sorts of strange stuff when you spend a bit of time getting to know it. The standard format on the spectrum of nice to nasty - melodic to harsh noise all loaded up in this one.

It has a resonant filter, 'ruiner' ringmod/distortion and a digital delay configured as a circuit bent delay pedal might be - that is untethered feedback and filtering for texture and noise generation and manipulation. Also added is a global pitch control with fine and coarse dials.

A couple of other vids will no doubt be uploaded by the time or shortly after you see this. They'll illustrate the more volatile, unhinged and hands on nature of these things."

"This is a rare edition of the italian vintage mono synth JEN SX2000.
It's rebranded Marlin and for what I know it's a brand that distributed the synth in the UK.

This particular unit is in very good cosmetic condition, almost excellent. Very rare to find these cheap italian synth in that condition.

It is also perfectly working because I just serviced it:
- desoldered and cleaned the buss bar and key contacts
- replaced all the IC (and upgrade some with better ones without sacrifying original tone)
- cleaned and lubed all the faders
- calibrated and tuned"
