Published on Jun 27, 2019 Reckless Experimentation Audio LLC
"In this Video I add MIDI control to a Wippany [Whippany] Rhythm Master drum machine. First I open the machine up, make it electrically safe to use. Then add a MIDI receiver board to bring this machine into the 21st century"

"One of the weirdest and most unrelenting synthesizers ever made. Only around 50 or so units exist! Armed with a ribbon controller strip at the bottom - the warm analog goodness is further amplified by the input of human touch. This vicious beast is capable of churning out a vast palate of sound - from bleeps and bloops to dreamy soundscapes, from torid screeches & squawks to percussive metallic clangs, noisy walls of sound to the echoing depths of space. Your programming ability is your greatest weapon. Expect to fiddle around with the various parameters at your disposal to achieve sudden moments of clarity, only to find your temporary destination is muddled by the curiosity to keep on pressing further into uncharted territory. Have either photographic equipment/a sampler/ a pencil & paper ready because you’ll be stumbling onto new sonic discoveries with every knob turn. I will include 5 one-foot patch cables to start you off on your journey. A power adapter will be provided as well."

"This is a beautiful example of of a rare synthesizer! Originally designed to be controlled from your guitar (pick up is NOT included but the connector cable is) it can also easily be controlled from CV/Gate. It is essentially an Odyssey...just BIGGER! It is monophonic. The only thing that hasn't been tested is the pitch tracking ability with a guitar since we do not have the pick up
This has been serviced and is in good working order. Some of the sliders may need to be moved up and down a couple times to reduce some slight crackling. The "high/low" switch on the back for the output volume can cut out briefly if its bumped but once its set in place it is fine."

"These keyboards were manufactured by Casio for Radio Shack's Realistic brand, and are identical to the Casio SK-5. Tons of retro 80s fun, and extremely popular for circuit bending, although this one is unmolested and completely stock."

"Uncommon beatbox which features the superb and unique modulation section which allows you to groove an external signal (e.g. guitar, synth etc) using the on board rhythms. This is stunningly-effective and a great creative tool.
Modified with separate outputs for the rhythm and the modulated signal."
