Click here to buy this.

This, in my opinion, is a pretty nice little synth. The guts of it were so simple, it was easy to get a lot of functionality out of it. The bends installed cause it to play an ever present tone, which can be distorted with the red and gray knobs. You can blend this tone with a tone generated by a key press. This will cause some interesting sounds, as the tones are mixed. You can flip on the switch above the red knob, which will play a specific not from the keyboard, so you don't have to hold one down, while exploring the possibilities. The center green knob has two switches associated with it. If they are both in the "off" position (down) the knob will do nothing. Flip the left one, and the knob will control distortion, pitch, beats, etc, or flip the right one, and get different results, You can even have them both on simultaneously for more options. Really, there are too many possibilities with this instrument to show in a 5 minute video, but I did my best. You'll need to obtain this, and try it for yourself. I installed all my controls where the battery back would nestle, and thus had to cut it out. I installed a new external battery pack, and it is attached to the front of the instrument with velcro. It takes 4 AA batteries. It also has a 1/4" output jack.
