circler : bent speak & math
May 16th, 2008 | Published in texas instruments | 1 Comment
Circuit bent Texas Instruments Speak and Math. The Circler takes its name from its superior looping abilities - the bends on this speak and math focus solely on its ability to ‘catch’ the sound output and recycle it in various ‘loops’ . This circuit bent speak and math is armed with two looping groups (1,2) each with its own modifier switch (which change the nature of the loop), and loop advance buttons. Loop 2 also uses a threshold knob to adjust the modification of the loop from rhythmic hammerings to chaotic non-stop glitch rhythms and beautiful noise. It also features a pitch knob (d) that will swing the pitch up and down - each way to the point of crashing the machine. Three LED buttons act as the toys trigger due to the modification of the original membrane. The trigger buttons light red and flash in sync with the sound output. Output is handled by a 1/4″ switching output jack (b) and is controlled by a volume knob (a). A reset switch (e) is also included for recovery from crashes.

Congratulations…… that is far the best S&M i’ve seen. The threshold & looping capabilities are astonishing !!!!
I’ve been messing around with them my self & find the S&M the most ‘usable’.
Also the overall aesthetics of the Speak is gorgeous.
