Speak and spell

I found this wonderful little Speak & Spell from 1980 on ebay for next to nothing and put it to good use...

It features 4 glitch switches, pitchshift (with on/off) and a loop pot.

A Speak & Math from 1981 arrived today, so there's more to come...!

Casio SA-8

I have finally gotten around to circuit bending the Casio SA-8 I've had lying around for a long time. I bought this on ebay for about $2 and finally put it to good use.

The controls on the left side are glitch randomizer and fifth step. With thanks to capserelectronics. com for great tips. The controls on the right side are worse: connected directly to the timing crystal, creating quite weird drony/noisy/random note generation. Alas, to end this weirdness one has to switch the Casio on and off. Fun, though...

Some more new instruments. I'll post some soundclips here, when I figure out how to do it...

New instruments

Just finished making two new circuit bent instruments. They both sound like some kids TV show gone bad...
