[HELP]Circuit bending!

hello you!

i'm bending some toy synthezisers and i was wondering if
anyone knows anything about implementing cv/gate control
functions or MIDI. if you have any good links or advice
please share! :)

I suggest you check out what chip does the sound generation,
then you google it and find out what input it takes for the
notes and gating. Then you find a way to translate midi or
cv/g into the signal it wants :)

You can get a PIC to do simple midi to CV/gate stuff. There
are probably examples on the net. If you know a small bit of
electronics or computers (like programming not powerpoint!)
then get into PICs, they are simple to use and really
useful. They are like tiny tiny computers on a chip, ideal
for a bit of midi decoding.

make a lovely power point presentation with exciting wizzy
effects and transitions, use a fantastic template to add a
touch of class and use clip art to illustrate & improve your
short paragraphs on each slide.....

if the "=" was a little more cleaned up, that would be
tolerated on this wet and rainy day

LINK TIME!
The Switch Array may be handy. Dunno.

Stay away from the processor chip... thats all I know.

Well, I guess you need to use the processor chip in order to
create a midi interface. I know a few of the people
here build synthesizers, and circuit bending is a
regular hobby for them too.

Yeah, stay away from BIG chips with lots of small pins,
these are usually RAM or ROM chips. Kill those and you'll
never be able to use the product normally again.

i love messing with the processor chips, i don't intend to
use the instruments normally again, anyway :)

That idea of just screwing with the ROMs purposely makes me
shiver :p

Yeah. You don't want to use it normally, thats understood.
The fact that you are risking never using it at all unless
its a paperweight, I think thats what the 'Oh dear...'
meant.
