"Trancegate version of the AMSTRAD CKX100 8-Bit Glitch Synthesizer.
This one has an integrated 8 Step Sequencer which can be used to Gate the sound and modulate the pitch with devious effect....
Loads of weird Glitch, Twisted tones, busted beats and a custom ROM containing a new set of beats and some very lo-fi tb-303 samples.
The Acid sounds have been placed in the 'Hidden' section of the ROM, which usually contains a few sounds which are only accessed in the demo tunes. A little creative re-wiring of the ROM allows the Acid sounds to be accessed with a bank of switches on the right panel. This allows the preset rhythms to act as a very lo-fi Acid synth..... Cool, eh?
The Step Sequencer opens up a whole new world of synthesis capabilities, especially when combined with the Glitch Mods and the new Acid sounds. Sequencer can be synced to the Rhythms by using the flashing 'downbeat' LED to reset the sequence. Can also be reset by keypress, for more complex performance.
Glitch section on the right side of the machine allows access to a world of weird twisted dark and sinister sonic forms. Check out previous video for a more detailed look at the full glitch capabilities.
Another beautiful metal paintjob on the keys, using a few different shades of metallic Blue, Green & Gold.
Beautiful Green PCB courtasy of STICKLEBACK MANUFACTURING."
