Arix17

Circuit Bent Yamaha RX-17 drum machine (circa 1984). Modifications include: wood panel 25 point patch bay, with 6 patchable switches and 4 patchable knobs, for a ridiculous amount of possibilities. the patch bay can produce various pitch changing, modulations, phasing, voice swapping, delays, stutters, distortions, craziness. Also added a green power LED.

In this take I'm using a touch of effects from time to time from my pedalboard. I made up a pretty simple beat, but the machine is capable of sequencing pre-programmed beats for some really complex bending fun. my current favorite, but yes, for sale.

you need to throw all that old crap out and stop playing around with toy instruments.

and close the door on creativity? I've managed to sell several of these and use them on recordings. Take a look around and you'll see how much this underground artform has taken off the past few years.

i love how the bit's get lost every now and again--or is that just white noise?

I'm running this through a compressor. It brings out the quiet sounds and it sound great.
