CIRCUIT BENT Star Wars Darth Vader Voice Changer & Casio SK-1
Continuing the space theme from previous post 
The Vader voice changer was something that I’d started years ago but due to my inexperience, I ballsed it up. Now it’s all freshly spanked and fully awesome.
The unit contains 3 Vader samples:
‘What is your bidding, my master?’
‘Impressive’
and his asthmatic wheeze.
Also there’s the voice changing aspect.
It’s a bit weird, it does a pitch shift down, but not a full octave, with some slight modulation. It’s gritty and dirty and guaranteed to lead you down the path to the Darkside.
The mods are a bit limited. I’ve added a pitch dial for the samples, which when cranked high will result in a some glitching (although it wouldn’t do it for me when I shot the video) and an overdrive dial that affects both the sample and voice effects. There’s also a line in for the changer and a line-out for amplification, the speaker is still intact for on the fly sonic Sith noise terrorism and there’s 3 LEDs for added ambience.

Fun with SK-5
This is a circuit bent Casio SK-5 by Tablebeast, my first bought bent item, seven years ago now. The intro tinklings come from a Casio VZ-1 on the guitarsichord patch. I think it sounds like a Rhodes, aka John Paul Jones. Korg Koass pad looping a modular sound, reminds me of Trey from Phish loop he uses.
All other sounds from the Casio SK-5, sorry that my stupid mixer settings muddied up the wonderful low tones generated by the SK-5 in bend mode play.

New sampling toy keyboards of the 80’s like the ones produced by Casio and Yamaha
Sir Sampleton is a sampling keyboard, which means it can record sounds through the microphone that you can then play on a keyboard. If you want the sound of bagpipes or bells, then just use Sampleton to sample some bagpipes or bells. Or if you want more unique sounds, you can make samples with your own voice or noisy objects you find around the house.
Sir Sampleton is inspired by sampling toy keyboards of the 80’s like the ones produced by Casio and Yamaha. These classic keyboards were great toys, but are now expensive because they are sought after by professional musicians for their warm, low-fi sound and simple operation. Now, it’s possible to have similar sound and functionality in an app, plus the features that you wish the old keyboards had, like the ability to save samples.
FEATURES:
◊ Sample through the microphone and then play your samples on the dual keyboards
◊ Save and recall your samples
◊ Add rhythm with the built-in beats and random beat generator
◊ Tweak advanced sound settings such as vibrato, note trail length, and sample time
◊ Put one sample on each keyboard in dual-sample mode”
Circuit bent Casiotone MT-52
TheRainDesign has shared a demo of a circuit bent Casiotone
A brief – and unfortunately very limited – demonstration of the Casiomodular, a Casiotone MT-52 that I circuit bent and re-housed.
Late night ambient synths
Loomeer305 has shared this nice late night synth jam with us, enjoy
Another night improvisation …. sorry for mistakes (-: (Yamaha RS-7000, Roland JX-305, Roland V-Synth XT, Korg Prophecy, Waldorf micro Q, Casio VZ-1, Korg 03R/W …. )
All you can eat synths :-)
Don´t really know what the Mercedez mark has to do with anything, but there sure is plenty of synths around
