Circuit bent Bliptronic 5000

Circuit bent Bliptronic 5000 from Michael Una on Vimeo.

A modified Bliptronic 5000. I used a Getlofi Precision timer kit to replace the internal crystal clock, which results in some nice pitch bends- the sounds are samples played off a digital ROM chip.



I also found a nice bend point on the audio IC that results in a harmonic drone.



Also, I'm using a HighlyLiquid MD24 kit to send sync pulses to the Bliptronic from Ableton Live, which keeps it in lockstep with some programmed drums.
