FM3 Buddha Machine

I just got this puppy in the post. The badged limited chrome one. Nice piece of kit.

Been enjoying the black one, had to order red and chrome also to have them all in various stages of circuit bentness. Also Persuasion karaoke!

Speaking of which, the Buddha Machine 2.0 is ridiculously easy to alter to get the loops to slow down to ridiculous levels. Just need to add one resistor. Altering one of the original machines on the same basis, but once the audio gets down to a certain point it starts getting overwhelming interference.

This is pretty good too: http://www.flingcosound.com/theblackbox.html

Also Persuasion karaoke!

i'm comin over

I have four of these: two of Version 1.0, one of Version 2.0, and a black Throbbing Gristle one. Better than the Yule Log.

Anyone caught FM3 live over the years? Playing in GZ at the end of the month: http://www.douban.com/event/23678188/

A friend of mine got me the Philip glass Buddha machine and it's super dope!

Heads up for those that like their primitive ambient noise generators tactile, FM3 Buddha Machine getting reissued!

How do y'all store yours so they don't get bizarrely sticky (old playstation thumbsticks seem to be be made of the same rubber and have the same problem)?

I know I had one from the original run, and while I can't find it now, I'm pretty sure at some point it just stopped working.

I have about four of them sitting in a drawer somewhere. Haven't played them in eons. I should dig them out.

Haven't played them in eonsenos.
