Analogue computer - Lorenz Attractor

"1st patch on my analogue computer. A Lorenz attractor, it runs slowly as the smallest caps available are 0.1uf, with smaller caps the classic butterfly wing can be seen.

squidfanny - Circuit Bent (modified) 909 Analog Drum Synth.

YouTube via squidfanny
"Lo-Fi's answer to the tr-909...... Excedingly rare 'Beat Sound Electronic Drum' from the 80's.
Pure Analog machine with 4 wicked drums, piezo pads, a couple of knobs for 'snare decay' & 'phaser range' and speakers.

Added 12 new knobs to handle Pitch, Decay, Overdrive, Feedback, Distortion and Glitch.
Touch Points to trigger and hold the drum oscillators and for nasty feedback.
Some vintage green and red LED lights which flash with the drums.
Adorned with the usual assortment of odd bits of shiney metal.
Added 1/4" Line out / Changed DC polarity / Added protection Diode.

I've been watching ebay for years for one of these exceptionally rare little beautys, to replace one I had a while back. It was busted when I got it (despite ebay description as 'great condition'), probably because the DC polarity is in-correct and there's no circuit protection diode. . . . look's like the previous owner attempted to use the wrong PSU and burned out the power amp. Thankfully it's a standard IC, so repair was easy and we all lived happily ever after. . . . :-))"

"The sMs Audio Electronics Appendage ribbon controller in action. Really simple setup - appendage mix output sent through a Blacet/Wiard miniwave quantizer, added to a Blacet Hex Zone used as an arpeggiator (really good for this!). Bend output controls square wave Oscillator PWM and a resonant lopass generator release time (via a Blacet EG1).

My appendage is just a 1" x 2" x 2 ft. oak piece that I hogged a small cavity out of to fit an isolated 1/8" stereo jack."

CIRCUIT BENT SPEAK & MATH

via this auction

"item has been bent by the infamous Bentstruments...
-glitch switch
-the two in the upper right do kinda the same... they just effect the glitches
-black button is a pitch up flicker
-looper switch is self explanatory
-the knob in the middle is volume and works with both the speaker and the 1/8" output right below it
-three brass bearings are touch contacts that effect the tone of whats playing with multiple variations
-knob labeled "depth control" is a pitch knob that does short out if you get too low...
-hence the "oh spit" button (pardon my french i did not label the item) which resets circuitry."

Synare 3 Vintage Analog Synth Drum

via this auction

"The trigger is actually a speaker (see pic) so the volume is relative to how hard you hit the drum pad, just like a real drum... One of the coolest features is that you can strike the drum then turn the knobs, morphing the sounds making them sound out of this world.

We would frequently run this through an echo and reverb to really trick it out, any stomp box will work.

The drummer can also set a particularly unique sound effect then work it into the beat and it will change the whole dynamic of the song.

Great for a psych rock band but you don't have to be radiohead to get the best out of this as the sounds range from psychedelic to something you'd hear in dance music."
