"Lo-Fi Electronic keyboard with added Filth...

Loads of circuit bending on this machine - Added pitch Knob, Over-Clock Glitch Knob & Feedback Oscillator.
Also Installed a Lo-Fi Effects Processor cannibalized from an old Voice Changer Machine... This provides 4 x Lo-Fi Digital Effects, with mix Knob, and a couple of modulation knobs to twist, Mangle and generally Disrupt the sounds.

Over-Clock Glitch Knob generates all manner of bizzarre phrases and corrupted melodies.

I tend to avoid the really lo-fi keyboards, but this one has a nice bleepy sound to it, which I like."

Squidfanny - DIY Logic Bass / Arp. Synth

"Part Squarewave Synth, part workshop Tool.
This machine is built from a handful of Logic 4000 IC's, a few Vactrol's and a Lo-Fi Effects Processor from an old Voice Changer Toy -

Two Gates on a 4093 generate a pair of Oscillators, first 'Clock' Oscillator Drives a 4040 acting as a Frequency Divider. The Divided down Frequencies are then used to drive a 4051 Multiplexer, which cycles it's gates through a resistance ladder used to modulate the second 'Tone' Oscillator from the 4093.
Finaly a 4017 is used to generate an 8-Step Sequencer, which is driven by the Frequency Divider and used as a pitch Accent.

Metal bolts are used to patch / Re-Patch the modules and are very useful in the workshop, to measure oscillations and sequence DIY gear.

Thanks to Nick Collins and the rest of the internet for ideas, and schematics :)"

"Manually triggered . . . kind of 1/2 random Buchla 200e patch. 1959 Martin jacked into the mix via the 285e ringmod, w/ the internal 285e OSC tuned to "E" - made for some odd "alien modal improv"."
