I changed the following: - made two trigger outputs, derived from the LEDs. This drives my home made 32 step analog pattern sequencer. - replaced the tuningknob for a ten-turn knob. - made an external pitch input (which can be connected to the sequencer) - made a switchable speaker output using a amplimo transformer to connect the sound to other equipment. The transformer was needed to not confuse the sequencer pulses. - solved the hum problem all these boxes seem to have. Actually, I happen to have circuitbended such a machine, but differently.

I listened to an original Taalmala a while ago and decided it sounded too boring to purchase. I surely would have bought the circuit bent version! :-) awesome sounds!!
