Doepfer A100 modulating circuit bent belcat




A self running patch was set up with a Doepfer A100 modulating a circuit bent Belcat Delay pedal using the A101.9 Universal Vactrol Module. Both sections of the module were used controlled by two LFO's on different cycle rates. Sound source was a Hin Hon EE.

There is a another post about the circuit bending the belcat here...

And photo below showing new added inputs for vactrol control.

Doepfer A100 modulating Circuit Bent Barbie Karaoke


Several years ago I started circuit bending a Barbie Karaoke machine using schematics from the amazing casperelectronics.

Then I became a Dad again and the project was shelved! But having recently aquired a Doepfer A101.9 module it occurred to me I could use this to control all parameters of the Circuit Bent Barbie with my Doepfer A100 when I eventually get to finish it...

Here's a quick test of an LFO modulating tape speed.
