Circuit Bent Videonics MX- Pro Video Mixer by LoFi Future
video upload by LoFiFuture
"Available to order here: https://lofifuturestore.square.site/p...
This Videonics MX-PRO has been modified and circuit bent turning it into a powerful glitch tool kit with rock solid Time Base Correction that can be used anywhere in the world [PAL & NTSC]
PAL/NTSC MOD
One of the most functional modifications is the addition of a PAL/NTSC switch located on the back. See when Videonics produced these for different domestic markets they would use the same motherboard and chipset for all international units. They would simply include or omit one jumper on the motherboard that tells the MX-PRO what mode to boot into. I have wired this jumper up to a toggle switch on the rear of the console so you can select weather you boot into PAL or NTSC mode when you switch the unit on.
Analog Colorizer
I have integrated a 3 knob LoFi colorizer circuit that is hardwired to composite input one. It features a true bypass switch so the effect can be quickly enabled or disabled.
Arcade Buttons
There are six arcade buttons fitted to the palm rest of the unit for momentarily triggering effects. 3 control glitches for bus A and 3 control glitches for bus B. They are tied into the framebuffer RAM and the video decoders for each bus.
Toggle Switches for Bus A/B
In addition to the arcade buttons there are 4 toggle switches for each bus. These switches are all connected to a common buss allowing you to mix unsynchronised data between bus A and B resulting in scrolling artefacts.
Toggle switches for shape and edge corruption
There are 5 toggle switches located near the T-bar, these corrupt the shape and edge style transitions resulting in interesting patterns and variations of shapes.
The unit comes included with the original switching power supply (can be used anywhere in the world) and the original printed manual."
Glitchy Grooves: Crafting Glitch-Step Beats with Novation Circuit Tracks
video upload by LucaTronico
"Hey, it's LucaTronico! 🎶 Ever wondered what happens when you mix glitch sounds with step beats? Today, I'm diving into the world of Glitch-Step using my trusty Novation Circuit Tracks. It's a wild ride, so strap in and enjoy the glitches! If things sound a bit 'off', well... that's the point! 😉 Let me know your thoughts, and if you want more glitchy goodness in the future"
Fader Gate (read description) Jamming on OCTATRACK instead
video upload by DATABROTH
"All sounds come from CONSTRUCT: https://databroth.gumroad.com/l/hbcxu
FREE version available as well: https://databroth.gumroad.com/l/xwuolw
I purchased a Teenage Engineering K.O. II EP-133 (not sure what to call it)
I was aware of the fader issue, so it was the first thing I checked
the slider made it impossible to use so I returned it right away
to mourn the loss I decided to make a jam on my under utilized Octatrack
the original MK2 sampler"

The Ace Tone Rhythm Ace family: FR-1 Full Auto
video upload by ohm_studi_ohm
"Here is a glimpse of the analog drum machine range from japanese manufacturer Ace Tone. Quite popular in the late 60s and early 70s, they were probably the leader in those presets rhythm units at the time before Roland came into the game.
Full analog, only transistors and diodes, no integrated circuit yet.
FR1 and FR2 are basically the same unit. They do sound similar (same PCB) and have the same presets. The main difference is the cancel buttons. On the FR1 you can cancel "bass drum", "cowbell", "claves" and "cymbal", whereas on the FR-2L you can cancel "snare", "claves" and "cymbal".
Of course it is very easy to mod these units and add other mutes buttons, individual levels, outputs etc
The FR20 is quite similar soundwise to the previous ones. The patterns are different, they are fewer but you have 3 "customizable" presets with differents variations of snare and cymbal, thus effectively giving it a wider range of possible patterns, and this time you have cancel for "bass drum", "snare" and "cymbal" which make more sense then the previous ones' choices.
But the main feature of the FR-20 is that it has a built in amp powered speaker cabinet. And it sound loud and deep, it's a great combo. Plus ther is an input so you can plug you organ or synthesizer and play along the rhythm (start stop with foot pedal is possible on all units btw).
The FR6 is quite a different beast. It sounds very different to the other 3, soundwise and in terms of patterns. Sound is brighter, crispier even harsher.
Note all the units where fully recapped so difference in sounds isn't due to ageing component but to design. I don't have the schematics for this one but it's definetly not the same layout. It might have been designed or "inspired" by some other model available at the time. (could be the Roland TR-66 with which it shares many features).
So here is a demo of the first one: The FR-1.
Recorded through a Teisco 120 to add some reverb."
