Nice so basically you could bend whatever audio you want.. not different than bending a CD player in some aspects.

fair enough.... I guess I can hold off on ordering them then so I can regret not doing so later. drool I'm not even really interested in modifying them. They're just amusing

I want to make obnoxious, mushy walls of indecipherable voices with several of them running simultaneously, and do live Biblical cut-ups from the Book of Revelation.

Me too.. there's a Spanish version too!

I mean that guy could have done that bend without destroying the actual device anyway. But it is pretty hilarious.

I have small reel to reel tape deck that is disguised as a bible.. not especially convincing but the deck doesn't work so might as well put something else in it.

I will say that this bend actually seems pretty controllable and buying a eurorack module that could sound like this would be a fuckload more expensive 🤔
