"Up for auction is a circuit bent Texas Instruments VOCAID unit. This unit is called the VOCAID BABELBOX. This unit will make bent voice/tone/loop sounds when you turn on any of the bend switches and touch the front panel. You can change the pitch by moving your hand over the photo sensor or touching the body contact and front panel or moving the pitchball.

This unit has 4 different underlay settings, each has 32 words or phrases that play back when you press the different holographic squares. The different underlay settings are set by 3 toggle switches on the top of the unit. It gives this unit a very large vocabulary,much larger than the standard Touch and Tell BABELBOX.

The size is approx: 14" X 10" X 1.5". The unit uses 2 "D" batteries for power (not included).This is a great instrument for live work or for sampling sounds in the studio.

The VOCAID units are getting harder to find so don't miss this chance to own a truly unique instrument! This may be one of the last of the VOCAID BABELBOX i make.

The unit you are bidding on is fully circuit bent and tested and ready to ship so you receive it in a few days. It will look the same as the one in the picture.

Here is a list of the circuit bent features:

2 bend switches that can twist and bend the words and sounds when you press on the holographic panel. You can get the unit to spit out bent words and bent sounds almost endlessly.

3 Underlay setting switches, set which underlay set is active.

1 Glitch button that bends the sound when you press the holographic panel and then press this button.

1 distortion switch that adds fuzz/distortion/pulse sound to the voice or bent sounds.

1 Loop search pushbutton, finds a loop of sound.

1 Loop hold switch,holds loop found using the loop search pushbutton.

1 reset button to reset the unit if it crashes.

1 tone "on" switch that puts out a nice triangle wave tone that you can "play" with any or all of the pitch controls. This feature works great with the photo sensor control. You can also "play" the photosensor with a flashlight if the unit is in a dark or low light conditions.

1 Pitch change photo sensor switch to turn on/off the photosensor.

1 Photo sensor that lets you "play" the pitch of the sound by moving your hand over the sensor without touching it, just like playing a theremin! This is one of the best ways to play the sounds on the VOCAID BABELBOX.

1 pitch range switch that sets the range of the pitch from high to low. You can switch from the highest pitch to the lowest just by flipping this switch.

1 pitch change brass knob for body contact. When you touch the knob the pitch of the sound will go down. If you touch the holographic foil label with your other hand, the pitch will go even lower.

1 pitch change pot with ball knob that varies the pitch of the sound in both high and low pitch ranges.(as set by the pitch range switch)

1 pitch change holographic foil front panel works when touching the body contact.

1 audio 1/8"output jack to send the signal to an amp or FX unit.

1 super bright red LED in ball on gooseneck that strobes to the sounds that the unit makes.

1 VOCAID BABELBOX users manual.

1 set of 4 VOCAID undelay sheets for reference, VOCAID users manual."
