The Electric Joyland: Who are you?
I am your friend and confidant.
Banana Jacks, of course.
Fingertip-top shape today.
Oh Good!, I wouldn't have it any other way.

1 RingMod/VCA with alternate "Brown Output"

Electric Joyland also comes with a Joystick Module, of course!
There are outputs for:
X-axis
Y-axis
Trigger A
Trigger B
There are also jacks for:
+Volts, -Volts, and Ground on the Joystick Module and the Main Synth,
so you don't need to use batteries. The Green and Blue Jacks on the Side are +V and -V.

Here is a short video to show the joystick in action!


  
 Mp3 demos of the Electric Joyland. It is patched with itself, except for demos with the TR-606 drum machine. Enjoy!      
      
      
        
        
      
  

The casing is acrylic plastic with aluminum face plate. It is very small and portable, the joystick is also. Pack it and bring it to your upcoming picnic.

The Synth design is based on Ray Wilson's SoundLab: www.musicfromouterspace.com
The Faceplate design is from Damion Romero. It can be found on Ray Wilson's site.
