I made a video about the Vestax GSM-601 because I couldn't find any other videos about it.
Does anyone have any more info about this device? I'm curious to know how many units were manufactured. It seems particularly rare.

This is noisy, tape-saturated, spoken word dungeon synth. I'm calling it 'industrial pastoral'.
When savages burn down a boy's village, it leads to a trail of retribution, a bloody confrontation and the ultimate loss of his childhood.
Narrated from the boy's perspective, My Hand, the Sun, the Body and its Spoils, was recorded to cassette tape using a rare Vestax GSM-601
There's an accompanying zine of lyrics in the Bandcamp download. And exactly 17 download codes below (listen to the ep to find why).
I was watching some cool videos of the Toppobrillo Sport Modulator 2 being self-patched to create an oscillator and I thought, why don't I try and turn my go-to utility module into a voice? Spoiler alert: my go-to utility module is an ALM Mega Milton...
I discovered it can't make a screaming lead all on its own, but it can synthesise one very specific sound: rain falling on your tent.
