MEGA UPDATE!

Long time since an update.
I was without a way to upload pictures and video for a month here's a taste of some things I've been working on.


CIRCUIT BENT FRANKENSTEIN TOY:
     This was one of the first things I circuit bent around..9 years ago. Decided to make a nice enclosure for it and add a couple more features like LFO with RATE and INTENSITY controls.

FEATURES:
 -Trigger sound: Momentary button to trigger sound, which is Frankenstein's monsters saying                  "Urrrhhhhh...        Fix Me!"
-Body Contacts- Pitch is effected by how much electricity is passing through players body
-Loop: Flip this switch and the sample gets stuck on the first syllable of the sample
-1/4 Output with Speaker Shutoff
-Built in SPEAKER
-LFO ON/OFF- Turns LFO on and off which modulates the pitch of the instrument.
-LFO RATE- Controls the speed of the LFO
-LFO INTENSITY- Controls how much the LFO effects the pitch
-METAL ENCLOSURE WITH CUSTOM ACRYLIC FRONT

-I still have to add LED covers and holders

UNTITLED MECHANICAL SYNTHESIZER:
     Mechanically sequenced synthesizer, Uses salvaged microwave motor to trigger synth sounds.  A lot more about this soon. I should be finishing this Monday/Tuesday next week. I have all the circuits built but I'm working on building a much nicer enclosure. Eventually it will have 6 pitch control knobs to control the pitch of each step of the sequence, plus another control panel that will feature 4 patchable oscillators that can filter the sound or be used as stand alone oscillators.
