i'm just getting interested in this, took apart an old yamaha before i went to class, got some interesting effects just placing a key against certain spots, very fun http://www.anti-theory.com/soundart/circuitbend/ any other good resources? |

once my guitar eff. unit went bezerk and i recorded 30 minutes or so of me twitching the knobs, i have to look up the tape i still have that old unit, might go and do some bending, yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually honestly think that if i had the equipment right now i could circuit bend the hell out of something |
||||||||
|
|

|

i tend to believe that |

i mean after reading most of that page |

ah, a page *takes a look* |

it's pretty good i'd say |

i see there's a large area left open for you: Also important, audio toys are low-voltage devices. Reed suggests not trying the process with any circuit operating on more than 6 volts. i'd be nice not to come up with those standard notes that you always hear with overloading stuff, the notes that are in that last track of peel2 from ae |

maybe you would like to check out brian duffy and his modified toy orchestra |

i'm hopefully going to be getting a speak and spell to circuit bend, also a furby |

circuit bending is really cool. there was a great how to on electronic musician magazine's site. i tried it out with limited success, but i didn't really have decent toys or instruments to mess with in the first place. |

checlk australian band 'toydeath' i bent all fuck out of a 5$kmart drum best result were after i let it cook in my car on a real hot day. |

thanks roybivcore, great little doco!!! |

I'm so annnoyed, I had a Speak and Spell and Speak and Maths and I got rid of both of them after my first break from music making. I know I could pic some up off ebay chaply now, but it's not the same as making the same actual ones I used as a kid :) |

yeah i'm fucking with an old keyboard of mine, if anyones interested i could record some of my findings and upload an mp3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does it ruin shit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it can, rarely though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my bro was looking into it, but he was completly detered when he thought we was gonna wreck his keyboards. haha, but i've this before with a little piece of shit casio, i ended up tearing it up, but making these really fucked up off-key high-pitched tones. good for agression |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well you definately shouldn't circuit bend something that's plugged into the wall |
||||||||
|

I've been testing with my Roland TR-505 by re-routing the signals on the soundchip. I just took a small piece of wire and put the ends on different pins. There's definately potential for some glitch with the 505. The TR-505 is pretty cheap too, mostly because the original 16 sounds suck hard. I had/have this grand plan with custom pots for every tweak, so I emailed a guy in the States. He does this really well and then sells his creations on Ebay. He pointed me in the right direction, where the soundchip is, what pin not to touch and so on. I don't have a soldering iron, so I haven't made any permanent connections yet. Also, remember, ELECTRICITY KILLS. |

this is something i've wanted to try myself. |

Also important, audio toys are low-voltage devices. Reed suggests not trying the process with any circuit operating on more than 6 volts. Trying to circuit-bend any device operating on the "house-current" of your wall outlet is OUT OF THE QUESTION!!! This holds true even in the instance of AC adapters. Circuit-bending is for BATTERY-POWERED CIRCUITS ONLY. There is the rare chance in this try-at-your-own-risk art, that a component might overheat and burn out. Or even pop. In Reed's 30+ years of bending circuits such a pop has only happened once. An external power supply of too high a voltage was accidentally applied to the circuit. Half a transistor was tossed across the room. Even though in Reed's experience such a thing has never occurred while bending a device operating on its own correct internal batteries, eye protection should be worn. |

thanks for the tip. |

thank mister Reed! (who i think is the father of circuit bending) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
.. his writing style kinda annoys me but yes, circuit bending is great i made a track out of a screwed up toy dinosaur once (only i didnt alter it, it was just malfunctioning) |

Once I dropped my sister's furby and it started to make a BUEEEEEEEE/UEEEEEEE/UEEEEEEEEEE/UEEEEEEEE/XGXGGXGXGGXGHXHXH noise like HHHHHHHHHHhhH939303093020221 It was awesome. It was broken anyway so I took all the fur off and tried to mess around with it some more, man those things look even scarier with their skeletons exposed. |

those damn bitches made my heart miss a beat once when i walked into a dark room and all of a sudden i heared this mechanical noise and the stupid crackly voice screeching from some shady corner |
||||||||
|
|

|

Haha that has happened to me before. They are well hard to shut up, normally I take the batteries out or drop them on the floor. Another time I put a couple of peanuts in a Tamagotchi instead of the batteries and when I turned it on it played the theme to "Hangin' With Mr Cooper" for 8 hours. Smooth |

Ha ha, an ex girlfriend of mind had this motion sensative tigger toy. She set it and put it in the cupboard. I was in the house when she was out and I went into the cupboard (all the lights were off) to get the megadrive out. I touched this furry thing and it moved and started talking in a really manic voice. It said something like, "Who goes there? Tigggger.... BOUNCE!" I don't think I even moved I was too shocked. Furbies are little buggers for it too. Horse: Did you see that weird toy they (whoever makes furbies) made as the furby craze was dying down? It did look just like a skinned furby. |

Nope, never seen that one. But what I've just found! |

this thread makes me want to circuit bend! i have some unused resistors and a potmeter lyin about from a theremin project yes! something to fill my time .. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damn, this site is shit! I saw the name and thought it would be much better. Where is the director of the Internet? I'm gonna complain. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeh all it says is how to remove the fur intact fuck fur, if i want to bend a furby ill just burn my way in *yarrr* |

He he, I remember my dad sending me a link to that a couple of years back and yes, it is pretty weak. Furbies are quite hard to do because most of the stuff is all on one chip which is sealed inside a little blob of plastic and melting the plastic off renders the hip useless. Did you hear about the guy who did the soundchip for the Spanish Furbies? He found out during the project that he would be laid off after it. So, he made it so that after a few days, they started swearing :D There was a big recall apparently. I bet those original swearing Furbies go for a bit now... |

how did you bend your 606? would like to try that with mine. |

I routed pots in and out of each other. Tried connections till it sounded cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm going to spend an hour high experimenting with my casios circuits outside at school |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Also, I tried out connections on the boardtill they sounded cool. Then soldered a Pot to one of the connection. Usually little blobs of soldier on the board were the connections. It's been like 7 years.. |
||||||||

|
|
damn there was something earlier i thought of that i really wanted to circuit bend and it seemed like an awesome idea, it was along the lines of a furby but different OH SHIT I REMEMBERED |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out this furby, sounds just like "funny little man" by aphex |
||||||||

i want to circuit bend a pattington bear, but i guess that just plays a tape right |
||||||||
|
|

i started to fuck with this toy i got and its making some pretty fucked up noises... |
||||||||
|

www.cyndustries.com & www.notbreathing.com (www.carrionsounds.com was posted alerady) there's also a moog documentary being made with Dave Wright & Jack Dangers & Charlie Clouser working together on tracks I think... |

Wow. Furby hacking. |
