Check out the video here.

"Another VTech talky box here, and this is one of the best yet! A whole host of mods take this one into a whole new sonic dimension.

4 glitch buttons linked with an 12 point rotary selector give a huge range of different glitch noises and possibilities, you'll get all sorts of great noises from these - from bizarre blurps to trippy melodic loops.

An LTC pitch circuit has been added and honed to give excellent control over the speed of the device, taking the melodies and glitches from deep and bassy low bitcrushed monster growls, all the way up to chirpy blips and squeaks.

There's also an extra Power switch and indicator LED to shut the device down when not in use, and a quarter inch output jack for sending the output to a recording device, amplifier, or run it through effects pedals - this thing sounds great through some nice speakers!

Added Features
Pitch Knob
4 Glitch Buttons
8 Way Rotary Glitch Source Switch
1/4" Mono Output Jack"

KORG VOLCA MODULAR // PATCH 2

Published on Mar 12, 2019 LESINDES

"Basically:
Patching AD2 to different VCO parameters.
AD2 is controlled by CLOCK DIVIDER and
different clock divisions.

The MODULAR is a synthesizer with a potential but also with a lot of NOs, unfortunately. I really like the idea of it but it has:
1. unlike all the other Volcas NO Midi input
2. NO seperate gate input -- combined CV/Gate in so special stereo mini jack to 2 mono mini jacks cable needed
3. LPG is very low, only half as loud as LPG1, or my Volca is broken?!
4. Gate or CV output of keyboard and sequencer only in these fiddle sockets.
5. Cables with the soft easily bendable ends feel and are very fiddly. The raw cable ends slide easily out of the sockets even though you only gently touch the cables!
From min. 5 - 8 it is clock input is patched as source
by mistake but there is still a lot of entertaining tweaking
;-)"

GRP A2 Analog Synthesizer

Published on Mar 12, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"The GRP A2 has two thick analog VCOs and a state variable VCF. The A2 has tons of routing and modulation options all available on rotary switches and a ring modulator as well as a VCLFO and regular LFO as well as two envelopes that are each unique.

There are CV as well as midi control inputs and an arpeggiator built in. The glowing VU meters let you monitor the output which although it is a monophonic synth, different filter outputs can be output at once.

In the first part of the video we used the Elektron Model:Samples for drums and sequencing of the A2.

A2 available here: https://www.perfectcircuit.com/grp-sy..."

Korg MS-20 Mini Repair by False Electronics

via False Electronics where you'll find the full write-up. A few pics of the front panel and what's under captured here.

"Despite the popularity of this synth and the number of mods documented online, there isn't a lot of information on some of the parts used, so hopefully this will be useful to others.

There are 3 main PCBs, all mounted to the sheet metal case and connected together with cables.
Digital board - power entry and power supplies, the microcontroller, MIDI and USB ports.
Analog board - all synthesizer circuits, knobs, switches and jacks.
Keyboard PCB - breaks out the keys to a connector. I didn't look at this."
