Here's my Circuit Bent Hing Hon EK-001 squarewave keyboard, built into an upright style synth, which runs on four AA batteries (6V). Three months of semi-constant work for the Moog circuit bending challenge of 2014. I hope you enjoy! In this demo I try to run over some of the more pertinent mod combinations while keeping the demo time to a minimum. All sounds in this video are raw from the device.
