Need a punk rock sound generator?
BonzoReagan has you covered!

This Circuit Bent Speak & Spell is a powerful computer which turns the musician into a magical wizard of chaos.
The 80s vibes have been taken to presidential levels to assist in apetronic planetary exploration of distorted realms.

Circuit Bent Features:

ON/OFF Switch + Reset Button
These controls are used to restart the device and turn it off. Both interrupt the power supply to insure that the battery isn’t connected to the circuit. 

Speaker Switch

Turns off the built in Speaker without cutting signals to the Output Jacks.

Pitch Knob
The Pitch Knob allows the user to control the speed of all sounds. It does this by controlling the internal clock.

Pitch Bend Contact
This lets you change the pitch of the instrument by touching the silver conductive contact. Touching this and the front keypad also gives extra dynamic range.

Syllable Sampler: Button + Switch

This feature can loop parts of syllables that last for fractions of a second. This allows for a virtually infinite number of possible sounds. The button is helpful for quickly finding samples. The switch lets you hold them for longer durations.

Start Sound Looper
This switch automates pressing the (Say It) button endlessly. The convenience of this sound looper is helpful for getting results without searching long.

Distortion Switch 1

This switch distorts and glitches sounds in unpredictable ways. With the Start Sound Looper on, electronic feedback creates weird melodic fragments which never repeat in the same way.

Distortion Switch 2

This switch makes the voice of the BonzoReagan sound metallic and distorted.
Occasionally, it can freeze sounds in a blasted out drone.

Glitch Button 1 + 2

These two buttons are similar, yet each have their own glitchy effect on the instrument. They can be used to turn regular sounds into stuttering bleepsz.

————————————————————

All buttons have been tested to work.
To use BonzoReagan as a regular Speak & Spell, start by turning the Pitch Knob all the way to the right with all switches off except the ON Switch and Speaker Switch.

Output Audio can be monitored from both the 1/8" audio jack and the 1/4" audio jack.

*4 C batteries are not included.
