via this eBay listing

"One Bitranger with Synapse matrix keypad, original manual and 12 DuPont pin patch cables

Excellent condition, does not include battery or PSU

The bitRanger is a patchable analog logic computer that sculpts sonic worlds ranging from data noise to melodic arpeggios. While being a handheld standalone synth, it is also right at home in the music studio. Extensive connectivity makes it so flexible that it can connect to almost anything: CV control its unique sound, sync it with drum machines and sequencers or use it as an algorithmic CV / GATE pattern generator.

Go nuts! Bit nuts!

The patchbay of the bitRanger is a place for exploration where you can simply connect outputs to inputs to see what happens. This can be done methodically or with complete experimental abandon. Go nuts! Battery Power and a built-in speaker make the bitRanger totally portable. Tweak it’s 4 knobs, 8 switches, and more than 100 patch points in the woods, on the beach, on a train, and in the studio.

Features

LFO clock oscillator for rhythmical modulation

VCO oscillator is synced to the HFO oscillator

4 modes of operation selectable by 2 switches

built-in speaker with volume control

On /Off switch

expansion connector

package includes 3 photo resistors – make your oscillators respond to light by plugging these into the Bend socket
