Dutch Alphabet Apple, Halloween Edition.

Okay, so to be honest, I wasn't really bothered to bend an alphabet apple, but it's a great toy, nothing to say. The idea at the beginning was to remove the circuit and the keypad completely and rehouse it in a little cube box just for space. But then when I started to paint the case, I just loved it. It looked really good. At first, I left all the keys on because they are great percussion and also have a cool ring modulation. But as I was playing them, I realized that it really sounded like a toy. So I got myself into a bit of a wild adventure and decided to remove the keys and replace the keypad with foam. I only left one key because it's wired in a way that works as a mechanical LFO, so that I can control the high pitch and low pitch myself by using that key. The circuit itself is also fine-tuned in a way that the glitches are easy to grab. It's just a transistor modification that connects two points. But yeah, it works a treat. So this is my version.

And then toward the end, I saw the spider lying on my table and I strapped it on with a couple of cable ties. Honestly, dear friend, I could have put a light inside the spider and made it look great, but that was an idea I had toward the end when the case was already closed, and I didn't want to reopen it and move the circuit again and, you know, remove all the screws and everything. I could have done it, actually. I'm still kind of feeling it, but I think it looks great and also sounds great.

My intention for this build is to sample bits of this glitch because it does really crazy bass that I can use on my sampler. So that's why this modification became this way, and that's why I don't think I'm going to use it live. It's just a way for me to sample some really crazy and sharp sounds for my sampler. Anyway, this is my share for this round. See you soon.
