Circuit bent Roland Tr-505

Circuit Bending par Diabolical Devices

Description :
Here is a circuit-bent Roland Tr-505 drum machine! Fully patchable via 14 banana jacks on black turret board. It has a built-in theremin / oscillator, with individual 1/8th inch outputs (including added square wave). The photo-theremin square wave oscillator can be patched in and there by triggered by the bent sounds, then can be pitched manually to the kick/snare, interacting and phase-canceling/ pseudo ring-modding with each other, the results are  very desirable from  fat lows to squelchy highs. Or  just pitch the photo-theremin up and play it in a more traditional manner (with a strobe light). Insane glitched-out rhythms and distorted ring mods. These drum machines are much more controllable, having an internal sequencer spitting out the glitches in time  with the midi clock, it is far more melodic / rhythmic. You will not be dissapointed, if you find yourself sending drums to distortion boxes, ring mods, or bit-reducing software, you will love this machine. As always, this will operate bent or stock, and comes with patch cables and detailed instructions.
