Diabolical Devices Circuit Bent Patchable Casio SK-1

"The Diabolical Modified Casio SK-1 is the new and improved circuit-bent glitch monster from Diabolical Devices. Create vast soundsacapes, unique synth sounds and total chaos, all packed inside your favorite childhood toy. The Casio SK-1 is loaded with original features, sampling capabilities, and great sounds (for what it was).

Bending Interface

20 point bending patch-bay using 1/8" phono connectors. When these points are linked directly using provided patch cables or routed through bending accessories a wide variety of effects, glitches, drones, and other unique sounds can be generated. Everything from playable effects to circuit-bent madness. These points also interact with the onboard LFOs and square-wave generator, as well as some CV and audio signals. Experimentation is the key to unlocking some of the most unique audio and soundscapes you will ever hear.

Bending Accessories

The bending points, and the reaction they will generate can be altered and further manipulated using the selection of patchable electronic components located next to the main bending patch bay. Features two silicone diodes, two potentiometers, and two patchable switches.

Dual LFO and Square-Wave Generator

This section serves a few different purposes. First, it's a stand alone analog synthesizer capable of some amazing pulsing and droning sounds. Second it can be patched into bending points for a variety of unique reactions, and finally the output can be patched into the SK-1's sampling line input (relocated to added panel assembly) for some amazing sampled sounds.

CPU clock mod/PITCH

Added clock source generator allows for a wide range in pitch from way below to well above normal pitch. This modification has a bypass switch which allows you to select either the original internal CLK or added external CLK.

LED color change on SK-1

The only thing actually changed physically about the SK-1 is that the main power LED was changed from Red to Blue, All other cosmetic features were left original (except for the big box around it.....). Speaker and all onboard controls work as normal, and when none of the modifications are engaged this machine will behave as a 100% stock Casio SK-1."

Inputs/Outputs

MIDI Retrofit: Highly Liquid MIDI input kit has been installed in this unit, the MIDI Channel select switches have been relocated to the front panel assembly for easy access.

Main Audio Output and Sampling Line Input relocated to panel assembly. Main output disconnects internal speaker which was left in tact and fully functional.

Features

Custom Wood Enclosure
Custom fabricated and labeled panels with LED backlighting

MIDI In
Master Power Switch
Patch Cables Included"



Diabolical Devices Circuit Bent Roland TR-707



via this auction

"Fully refurbished Roland TR-707 drum machine, with a twist! Added pitch controls and a circuit bending patchbay allow for tons of expirimentation and unique sounds. Disengage the modifications to use it as a classic stock 707, or engage the pitch controls and start plugging in the circuit bending patch cables to explore it's awesome new sonic capabilites.

Pitch Controls
10 by-passable pitch controls have been added, which affect individual sounds or groups corresponding with the volume faders. Each pitch adjustment has a by-pass toggle switch, pitch control, and status LED. This modification works by manipulating the clock frequency of the affected sounds playback. In bypass mode the original clock frequency is received and the original 707 sound is produced. When the pitch adjustment is activated the original clock frequency is replaced by the added external and adjustable clock frequency generators. Pitch ranges from way above to WAY WAY below original clock/pitch.

Circuit Bending Patchbay
In addition to pitch controls, the modification includes a 10 point ROM-based bending interface aka circuit-bending patchbay. Linking these points with patch cables accesses a mixed bag of odd effects, filter, modulated, and otherwise unique sounds. These effects are the result of cross-modulated and otherwise scrambled ROM data being converted to audio. When none of the modifications are engaged these machines will function and sound as Roland intended. Modification only affect audio and all other functions remain functional no matter what mode or modifications are engaged.

Fully Refurbished
In addition to the insanely fun modifications, all units are fully refurbished. All Diabolical Devices TR-707's are completely disassembled and cleaned: the panel/button board, all key contacts, switching outputs, and all faders and cleaned and treated. The DC power input is replaced and the circuit board is treated to prevent future failure (common weak spot). All interface jacks (MIDI, audio in/puts, and sync) are resoldered and inspected. This makes for very reliable instruments, complete with repair warranty.

Comes carefully packed with basic instructions to get you started, and a repair warranty. Basically if it should fail in the future, just send it back, the unit will be repaired and returned to you no charge (excludes physical damage, mechanical components, misuse, and other unreasonable situations).

Features
• 10 External CMOS CLK Generators/Pitch controls with bypass switch and LED indicators
• 10 point circuit-bending patch bay (4 patch cables included)
• Blue LED color change
• Fully refurbished unit
• Repair warranty"

"Modified Alesis HR-16 with 24 point LED circuit bending patch grid and master pitch control.

The Diabolical Modified Alesis HR-16 accesses ROM-based bending effects by use of a 24 point patch grid. A single LED patch pin will make a connection and generate one of many bizarre effects and glitches ranging from distorted, filtered and modulated effects, to bizarre sounds and warped drum loops. The LED on the patch pin reacts to ROM data present at that point and puts on a light show.

This modification also includes a master pitch control with bypass switch and LED indicator, which affects all sounds. The patch grid and pitch control in combination can produce some truly unique drum and synth sounds. These are great machines and the HR-16 is loaded with original features. The modification unleashes the evil monster that has been hiding inside since the 80′s.

Diabolical Devices fully refurbishes their modified devices and uses quality parts. Not only do you get fun new features, you get a machine that's more reliable than ever and can still function as a stock unit would.

Comes carefully packed with 4 LED patch pins, basic instructions to get you started, and a repair warranty. Basically if it should fail in the future, just send it back, the unit will be repaired and returned to you no charge (excludes physical damage, mechanical components, misuse, and other unreasonable situations).

Features

24 point Matrix Patching Grid: Triggers Glitches and Effects when single patch pin is inserted
4 LED Patch Pins: LED responds to ROM activity
2 Patch Panel LED Indicators
Master Pitch/Clock Speed Control with bypass switch and status LED"

Diabolical Devices Casio SK-1

"Diabolical Devices Modified Casio SK-1 features Modulated Pitch control and ROM Bending patch-bay. When no modifications are engaged this will act as a stock SK-1. Comes with patch cables and a Diabolical Devices lifetime service warranty.

Modulated pitch control is a bypass-able external clock generator which affects the pitch of all sounds. When the LFO is activated amplitude modulation is achieved by the pulsing CLK signal. Pitch control has a bypass switch, pitch potentiometer, Modulate switch, LFO rate potentiometer and status LEDs.

20 point 1/8" phono patch bay is used to create ROM bending glitches. The results are almost random and range from playable bends to bizarre soundscapes. Patch cables are included.
