Circuit bent/Modded Synsonics Drums drum machine

[taigkyo]

I don't hear the usual hiss that I associate with Synsonics.... Did you upgrade the vca or something? If so, can you share the part number?

[MrRa5hid]

I used to use one of these back in the day. I often thought it could use some enhancement like this.

Are you willing to sell this? If so how much?

[VincentsVideoVisions]

@xraydelta1 samples simply cannot touch real analog sound... software sucks too. i have lots of gear and lots of software, and although software is flexible and good in many ways, the sound just isn't the same. plus, it's not as fun to use. i'd rather have limited hardware with character than a super computer with all of the programs and samples I could ever possibly use.

Exciting! thanks for this - just pulled out my old synsonics and thinking about what to do with 'em - I'm inspired by this!

[MrProfessorkaos]

This is quite awesome. I just found my Synsonics in my basement after years of looking for it. I recently got into the MiniKorg and KAOSS pad so I figured hook everything up only to realize its not actually MIDI. Disappointing. I would LOVE to recreate what you've done here but I'm new to this (decent with electronics). Is there any possibility of a detailed tutorial for construction? I looked at burnkit 2600 and I'm a bit confused to say the least....

[Minordian]

Carl Bartos in a box - AWESOME.

[wotatwaat]

@xraydelta1 True, but analog does sound different than any vst digital stuff.

[TheGzeus]

@wotatwaat and you own the result, as opposed to licensing(renting) software.

[delusional2971]

I have a Synsonics drum for sale if anyone is interested. I would not even begin to understand how to mod it. But for someone who wants to dabble in that stuff ... it's for sale.

Good stuff. Thanks for the video.

[stylinghead]

@delusional2971 still got that?

[delusional2971]

@stylinghead Funny that you ask.  I just came across it the other day. So yes, I still have it. Message me for more details. :-)

[delusional2971]

@stylinghead Yeah, I do. Message me directly for details. Thanks!

[redepoch76]

Do you have schematics for this beast? Does Burnkit?

I have the synsonics drum machine... it's cool... but it needs help.

Thanks!

[wotatwaat]

@redepoch76 Yeah, pretty much all of this is on Burnkit2600. Cheers

[thesemenincident]

Very cool...

I wish I were better at bending stuff so I could get something as heavily-modded, functional (MIDI FTW!), and nice-looking as this!

Great Job!

[mrrandom177]

quality

[Voltor07]

Wow...circuit bending that's actually USEFUL! Who would have thought? Very cool!

[Rhythmicons]

You could probably put a sequencer on the pitch of that thing couldn't you.

[Rhythmicons]

That sounds awesome. Did you program that rhythm on the pads and then are just controlling it bia the breakout box?

I wish mine did this!

[wotatwaat]

@Rhythmicons cheers, just added midi with a highly liquid kit

[alexriesenbeck]

oh BABY!

[Dtchmastrkilla7]

sounds cool. do you make tunes?

[ancientechnology]

This is great, I attempted to mod my Synsonics but couldn't figure out how to get the triggers to function.

Would you share some info?

[Lonlontime]

Lo mejor el destornillador

[1200killer]

[morrisman64]
