Published on Oct 23, 2012 by burnkit2600

"Take a second look at our super-modified TR-606. The sub was still set up from the previously uploaded demo, so I invited the crew in for a fun, fairly low tech, improvisational analog acid jam.
Burnkit2600's Thom Uliasz and Justin Emerson, on the TR-606 DFM1 and Monotribe/Juno6 respectively; joined by 'Hammarblock' lending sonic support on his guitar.

Circuit-Bending the Kawasaki iSoundz Guitar with Burnkit2600 - part 1

YouTube via burnkit2600 | October 22, 2010

"Burnkit2600 band member Thomas Uliasz gives you a guided tour of the inner workings and evolution of the Kawasaki iSoundz guitar toy into a workable instrument. Gaze in amazement at the process by which he dismantles a device only to rebuild it: better, faster, stronger than before. Witness his creative process in action as he decides how best to utilize his meager tools. Watch as 24 of his life dissipate into thin air; all for the love of noise.

Burnkit2600 are a band. We make music with improvised electronic devices, circuit bent gear, 8-bit video game systems, analog synths (including a MicroMoog and Rogue :), drum machines, and samplers.
We also craft our own circuits and modify gear for ourselves and do commissioned work for a lucky few others.
Our website demystifies our sound by showing folks how to make instruments like ours."

The connection panel in back retains all of the original ins and outs (power connector, main audio output, headphone audio output, LT trigger, HT trigger, DIN sync connector port, DIN in/out switch, start/stop foot-switch input jack) plus 3 audio inputs for injecting a signal to mix with or replace the 1) Snare drum noise path, 2) Tom drum noise path, 3) Cymbal or hats shared oscillators.

Schmidt on Acid

Published on Mar 28, 2015 kpsiegel

"It started snowing today and rather than get all bummed out about it I fired up the Schmidt 8 voice poly, my burnkit2600 modded 606 for beats, and my Cirklon and just decided to do a video and jam out. The patch on the Schmidt was all original. This is as it was recorded live. No EQ. No compression. No extra effects. The 606 was going through an Ekdahl Moisterizer on a mixer send channel. The Schmidt was going through an Eventide H3000 D/SE also on a mixer send.

Recorded directly out of the mixer main outs into my DAW. Watch it in HD for best sound."

"Just a very quick vid, as my computer is malfunctioning very badly right now.

This vid breifly explores the Chaotic side of the Groove-Modulator HR-16. Lots of crazy Glitch, sequenced Pitch-Modulation, Ring-Mods, Noisy Bleeps and Grainy Distortion.
Complex Glitch and Effects can be programmed with the aid of an additional internal sequencer and a metal bolt-bay.
