"Lovely 8-Bit Amstrad Synth from 1988, well circuit bent and fitted with my 'Trance-Gate' Step-Sequencer circuit, to provide a Patchable ARPEGGIATOR, Volume GATE & Pitch-Twisting Modulation. There's also a Custom ROM containing a new set of modern beats & Bleepy Squelch sounds.
The Step-Sequencer can Transmit & Receive external clocks, thus allowing tight sync with a MONOTRIBE & other suitable gear.
Also note the beautiful metallic keys :)
Starring -
* AMSTRAD CKX100 Glitch Synthesizer (Coming soon to an Ebay near You!)
* ANALOG ANTI-DRUM (containing a Midi-Trigger Converter)
* 'The mighty' KAWAI R-50 Drum machine
* Ensoniq ASR-X (sequencing & FX)
* KORG MONOTRIBE"
"Circuit Bent and Modified Roland MC-505 made by GlitchScience
NEW blue LCD installed
Majority of LEDs have been converted to Blue
Circuit Bent with Rotary/Toggle switch LED interface added (more info below) Functionally appears to be 100% working and was thoroughly, tested using built in diagnostics
Pretty good physical condition there are some nicks and scratches
also a small dent in the back right edge of the case
OS v1.07
New 12ft. power cable included
Record button has a Red LED
The beat LED between the 7 segment displays is a Blue/Red LED
Circuit bend interface has two dual Blue/Red LEDs
All other LEDs are Blue
Circuit Bent all Blue LED Roland MC-505 demo Bend interface consists of 3 rotary switches, 2 toggle (on-off-on) switches, and 2 dual Blue/Red LEDs
Bends are stable and at worst from testing will cause whine which stops once switched to new bend or bend is turned off via toggle switch
Bend usually work best with single patch.
Many of the bends just cause chaotic 'noise' and may or may not be usable depending on the use
All parameter changes can still be applied to bent sounds, EFX, Cutoff, Resonance, Reverb, Delay, etc.
Bent sounds controllable via MIDI
Warning: rotary switches stop at each end attempting to turn knob past stopping point could damage control interface
Do NOT try to turn past stopping point (resistance can be felt)
How to use bend interface:
Toggle switches are used to turn on bends, rotary switches then turned to change bends
Top toggle switch control
UP position connects TOP rotary switch with Bottom rotary switch blue LED will be lit,
MIDDLE position is off (disconnected)
BOTTOM postion connect TOP rotary switch with MIDDLE rotary switch, red LED will be lit
Bottom toggle switch control
UP position connects MIDDLE rotary switch with TOP rotary switch blue LED will be lit,
MIDDLE position is off (disconnected)
BOTTOM postion connect MIDDLE rotary switch with BOTTOM rotary switch, red LED will be lit"

"OJ (Turkey Leg) on the Etherwave pitch CV controls the rate of random LFO, pinging a Q106 oscillator. Bling Bling (aka Manwich) goes nuts on a contact mic and Moog MF104Z Delay. Ok, I mixed the contact mic pretty low I admit, but it was his first time wiggling and he was a little self conscious about his performance.
A more robust jam will follow when I find the fucking laser pointer!"

In May of 2012, Google turned its homepage over to Moog, creating a playable version of one of their synthesizers. The synth "Doodle" was used by over 300 million users, and brought a new level of attention to the Asheville, N.C.-based company. Acknowledging this, Moog, as part of their 3rd Annual Circuit Bending Contest held during the Moogfest music event, called for enthusiasts and benders to create a sampler and use the Google Moog Doodle as the basis for it's sounds. The winning sampler was unlike anything we'd ever seen, and we contacted some of our favorite musicians, including Detroit techno pioneer Carl Craig and hip-hop icon El-P, to create or rework songs using this new tool. The resulting tracks and documentary chronicle the dynamic relationship between technology and music, and how each field pushes the other in unpredictable and amazing directions.

"A very quick taste of some of the new features in GorF.
Including note skip, gate length and the improved user interface.
Here GorF is in my modular and is providing CV and Gate outputs, with the velocity routed to filter cutoff."
