<p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>This module was originally used as a desktop hotel switchboard. It contains a circuit bent toy voice changer which creates octaves and 'robot sounds.' I have added a modification which allows variable sampling and playback speeds of the audio fed into it. </p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>The two small black knobs control level and frequency (pitch). The toggle switches change the octave.</p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'></p><br><br/>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>Original operator headset, rewired with electret microphone for use with voice changer or any other audio input.</p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>Cloth covered switchboard patch cables, modified to different lengths.</p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>TRS plugs transformed into trigger and gate switches for the sequencer.</p><br>Photo by Seze Devres
voice changer cords and switches

<p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>Each side of the switchboard contains a Music From Outer Space ten step sequencer, with some added features such as external trigger inputs and pulse outs on each step. They can run independantly or in sync with each other. </p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'><br/> </p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'></p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'></p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>One of the two modified MFOS 10 step sequencers. The controls on the bottom right set portamento, step length and run/loop mode. </p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>Knobs for voltage control on top row; switches to set off a gate in the middle row.

sequencer  

<p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'>The synthesizer currently contains VCA, VCF, and envelope modules by Ken Stone and Music From Outer Space. It also contains the MFOS noise cornucopia module for various percussive sounds. Sequencer is right below it. </p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'> </p><br><br/>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'></p><br><br/>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'> Sequencer and synth together. This machine was originally used in a hotel/casino on a tiny island in New Hampshire called Christmas Island which has fallen into disrepair. </p><br>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'> </p><br><br/>Photo by Seze Devres <p style='text-align: left; margin-bottom: -10px;'> </p><br><br/>Photo by Seze Devres
