Circuit bent 'La Dictee Magique' (French Speak And Read) by Ok Housecat
This circuit bent French 'Speak And Read' toy has been outfitted with an external control box where a collection of fantastic, delicious modifications live. The control box is made out of a rolodex, and has been made detachable by way of a built-in D-sub cable and connecter.
On the control box you'll find:
-1 switch-activated pitch knob that sweeps from growling rumbles to squeaky blips and bleeps
-2 'loop' switches: each has a button that, when pressed, auditions a streaming electronic sequence of sounds; when the buttons' corresponding switch is activated, that sound continues to stream even after the button is released.
-4 'glitch' switches: when flipped, the device panics, gets confused, frustrated, even angry, then lets you know by spitting out bizarre, mangled sounds
-1 button that will similarly glitch the device when pressed
-1 doorbell that generates a different brand of machine gobbledygook
-1 switch that basically holds the doorbell down for you- the device will then spit out mangled sounds at intermittent intervals...almost as if it were talking to itself
-Hard reset button (located on the device)
