Alphabet Apple Circuit Bend
Forgot to post this one when I made it. This one was really unstable. Green button triggers a “glitch” stream. Big knob is a voltage starve, small knob is pitch mod, red is power reset.
I found that by setting the voltage a little low and then repeatedly powering on the device, you could get some REALLY weird sounds and behaviors.

This one was fun. First time adding a patch bay of any kind. I added two potentiometers with an input and output that can control the connections made in the actual patch bay. Didn’t come across too many unique effects so far - there was a distortion, something that sounds vaguely like bit-crushing, and another that emphasized transients a bit.
Also have a classic pitch bend knob and voltage starve.
Not a crazy instrument by any means. Definitely rushed this more than I should. Still fun though! I noticed that you can get the instrument to crash sometimes if you push the pitch too high, which leads to some fun sounds sometimes.

Rescued from the belly of a Goodwill. Honestly, was not a fan of this one. Had a hard time finding any good bend points on this.
Notable bends are some kind of distortion tone, a “glitch button”, and some kind of input retrigger toggle. By default, this thing doesn’t loop inputs, so it was nice to find that. Now that I think about it, I should’ve put a pot on that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wish I could’ve done a pitch mod, but I have no idea how to do clock mods yet. In any case, I have a bassy drone synth now.
