Super Speak and SPell

Forgot about this one, currently on hold, more info, pix etc. to follow sometime soon. Watch this space....

Newly Aquired 'Speak & Read' Bent already....

Been away a while, lost direction, decided to right of the last project (Speak and Music, total w**k!). Recently found a not-to-bad example of the US only 'Speak and Read' total cost with shipping was over $40, with the current exchange rate so good, it worked out at just over £20, awsome bargain. It currently has 4 glitches, including the time stretch glitch from my S&S, 3 loops, LED, fuzz (not working, makes LED burn to bright, will have to take it back to regular distortion), and speed/pitch (with limiters). Nice and noisey, sounds a bit cheap and 'clunky' compared to the super-smooth 'Speak & Maths' but thats not necissarily a bad thing, just adds to the already endless possibillities

Speak and Music

Tis true, I recently managed to procure one of these piles of poo and managed to (sort of) bend it. Vid and pics to follow over the weekend....

Speak and Maths You Tube demo

At last, I finally manage to do a 1min 40sec clip. It's not fabulous, but it does give an idea of what its capable of. 1 of the glitches causes it to crash (not in the clip) but it is savable, with out the use of the reset switch. I love this thing, well worth the 10 month wait!

Speak & Maths update

Progress has been fast and I already have the thing finished. First of all here is a pic of SAM with its inards hanging out, about a 3rd way through the bending:

And now finally, the finished product, after approx 10 hours work:

Now the spec: 6x Glitchs (switched), 2x Glitches (body contact), 2x Loops, Distortion (with attenuation), Pitch/Speed (with limiters to avoid crashing), LED indicator, Full reset.

Sound range is quite different to SAS due to different sounds and vocabulary.
Video demo to follow shortly...

Speak and Maths

Hoorah! Just bagged a TI Speak & Maths off Ebay (Ebay is wonderful!). Will be bending it into infinity over the next week or so. Can't wait to hear the beast roar....

Calling all circuit benders

Is there anyone else interested in c/bending and experimental music in the Bristol area? Is there a 'scene' or group? Please get in touch...
