Circuit Bent Casio Mt-240 with Transparent Front Panel

YouTube via Destroyifyer — April 02, 2010 — "This is a circuit bent Casio Mt-240 which will be up for auction on ebay until April 11th, 2010. You can hear some songs and sounds made with this thing at www.freewebtown.com/destroyifyer on the Mt-240 page."

"This is a circuit bent Casio MT-240. The box on the top is made out of oak coated with clear enamel. The front panel is clear plexiglas, the back part is steel. The knobs are all hand-painted hardwood coated with clear enamel. The keyboard is balanced and kept stable by two oak "feet" on the back complete with rubber grips. It has a 64 point patch grid, 16 fully routable pots, and a 16 channel mixer split into 4 groups of 4 by 3 switches. Also, there is a mounted tuning knob on the left. On the right is a reset switch for when using battery power. The machine can also be powered by an adapter, and of course a “manual” reset is required with this option! The 16 pots are of various resistance, the top 8 being 50Ω (very low resistance suitable for quite a few of the connections and fine tuning), the third row is 1 200Ω, 1 400Ω, 1 2kΩ, 1 2.5kΩ, and on the fourth row is three 5k Ω, the last pot being a 100k Ω super fine-tune that you can spin 12 or 13 times… this pot is great for those unruly connections which require higher resistance… there are only a handful of points like that on the patch grid though, so the 5ks and the 100k should suffice. There are 16 switches connecting the 16 pots in sequence, the last switch routing the last to the first to make a loop.

As far as performance, below there is a few little songs I threw together. I will admit, I am not the most patient demonstrationist, the songs are just me “messing around”, but I tried to make a balanced blend of good, bad, and ugly. I may post some more on the sound sample page later on in the auction. There is also a video below, and the audio from the video is available from the sounds link below. If you have skill at navigating around the chaos of this circuit bent keyboard, you will find yourself able to make some very impressive keys, sequence sounds with the drums, and pretty much anything you could hope for out of a circuit bent Mt-240. The patches are also very repeatable for the most part… if you diligently record your patches on paper or whatnot, you can get the same sounds… different voices and even keys conceal different sounds and whatnot, as previously stated they are all repeatable. The more patient you are with this instrument, the better you can work your way around the labyrinth of the patch grid and make some very cool sounds. To ramble on a bit, you can get delay at various decay rates, and also completely separate sounds and delay for the left and right channels, which is illustrated in one of the songs below. Square, sine, ramp and sawtooth LFO mod sounds can be achieved, envelope style pitch bending can be achieved… to summarize, all sorts of cool stuff."

Adjustment of Acidlab Miami Noise trimpot

YouTube via shagghie — April 02, 2010 — "*This voids your warranty* (no, really)
That said, overall a really easy adjustment that requires dissassembly of entire casing to access the trimpot.
Adjustment to the right increases overall noise going multiple voices, namely the Clap. As you can hear, this allows the Clap's volume level to go higher, more aligned to the rest of the other voices. Note that the Toms get a little "wooley" with excessive noise adjustment, so pay attention to those as well while adjusting.
Many thanks to http://www.intellijel.com/ for the initial post at muffwiggler sharing which pot and providing diagram.
If you try this and have notes, please share here: http://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/view...
And of course thanks to Klaus too for designing what i consider to be the best sounding 808 clone to date in a compact, lightweight format. Kicks the crap out of my MFB-522 (as it should), and holds its own to the mighty TR-808 (but politely and humbly acknowledges its Ruler). Total class act."

Hoffman Theremin - O MIO BABBINO CARO

YouTube via copperleaves — April 02, 2010 — "The videos I have posted to YouTube in the past that show me playing Samuel Hoffman's RCA theremin were made when YouTube quality was not as good as it is today. Here is a theremin transcription of O MIO BABBINO CARO from Giacomo Puccini's opera, GIANNI SCHICCHI. As you can see, I have taken the doors off the cabinet so I could zoom in on the old vacuum tubes that give the instrument its distinctive voice.

Doctor Hoffman used this theremin on the soundtracks of such classic films as THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, SPELLBOUND, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and many other suspense and SciFi movies of the late 1940's and 1950's. At that time, he modified the instrument for use in the recording studio by putting special audio output jacks on it so that external speakers could be plugged into the RCA theremin amplifier. For this recording, I used a CLARATONE speaker that was specially built by Florida vintage theremin expert Reid Welch (aka "Mr. Trubble").

This speaker was designed to emulate the sound of the Jensen speaker used by the late, great theremin virtuosa, Clara Rockmore. Because Reid had been a personal friend of Clara Rockmore, he had the opportunity to study her instrument and her speaker set up. His CLARATONE has a 10 inch cone and a particularly warm, sweet and definitely human voice. Unfortunately, Reid only made a limited number of these custom speakers and I was lucky to get the very last one (which I purchased in 1998).

The speaker that is built into the cabinet of this unique theremin was placed so that it was facing away from the thereminist and on the floor. This is the very worst possible place for a theremin speaker because when you play, your speaker is the only way you can hear what you are doing. For best results, your theremin speaker should be placed at head level, behind or beside you, pointing toward you, and no further away than about six feet.

A friend of mine who was well acquainted with vintage radio technology used to call vacuum tubes 'magical Inca fire bottles'."
