A small taste of the infinite wonders of 8-bit beats

Samplers
"I Am The Moon" Akai S2000 with 20-button bending bus (it works like a patch bay but with no cables, all you have to do is press buttons!)
Lexicon Jamman with seven-switch bend bus
A bit of a loop on the Jamman. Just four notes plucked repetatively on the guitar with a little compression.
"Constellation" Akai S2800
Lexicon Jamman with tap/reset footswitch daisy chain hookups for multiple loop control stations, tempo LEDs in the footswitches, and a dual-bus directional bend system with both momentary and latching switch banks. The photo on the right shows the diode-separated bus system inside the zinc stompbox.
The loop is a chord played on the M1odule and little percussion hit from the SY35. I lost track of time during the recording.
Synths
Kawai K1r with 12-bend switch matrix
(featured in the demo video)
Casio MT-240 with copper plate patch bay
"Frankensoniq" Ensoniq SQ-1
Yamaha SY35 with 38-point patch bay
The only notes played in this sample clip are sustained Am and G4 chords; all the "riffs" you hear are bends.
"M1ODULE" Korg M1R with birch and brass control box
"Jellyfish" E-Mu Proteus 2 Orchestral with 14-point switch bus in a hand-held jar controller

The classic Casio SK-1 with extensive patch bay & mixing section, pitch control, and a gate-controlled relay patch/ clock activator that syncs to external audio. The built-in speaker is still intact underneath the patchbay.
Behringer VD1 "Shit Muff" - the first analog Fruitsnake Bends creation - featuring a clean mids blend/boost knob and variable oscillator injection with a momentary footswitch for psychotic meltdown ring-modulated doom.

(featured in the demo video)
