Made from four "DJ. Scribbles Spinheads"
-figures that plays back sampled rhythm loops and six different
sound effects (drums, guitarchords, shouts etc.) when the heads
of the figures are tilted or twisted. The Spinheads Show features:
Moxy (techno), Adel (house), Rya (reggae) and
Troi (punk rock). Other figures exists.
The Spinheads have three different operating modes:
Demo – Tilting the head starts two bars of rhythm
loop and triggers a sound effect. Twisting the head triggers a sound
effect and stops the rhythm if its playing.
Play – Tilting or twisting the head starts a longer
rhythm loop and triggers a sound effect. Twisting the head increases
or decreases the tempo of the rhythm and triggers sound effect.
Fx – Tilting or twisting the head triggers sound effects.
No rhythm loop.
The figures have been mounted on a stage, that also houses a four
channel mixer and the battery powersupply for spinheads and mixer.
Circuit bends:
Pitch/speed potentiometer. Controls the playback speed
of samples. the range goes range from grinding slow and deep to
really annoying fast and high pitched.
Pitch bend touch points. Upwards pitchbend
/faster rhythm when btouching the two metal pins.
Mode switch. Switches between the three operation
modes. Originally a slide switch under the base of the figure.
Stop/reset push button. Stops
the playback and also resets the device if it locks up (something
that happens now and then). Originally a button under the base of
the figure.
