Circuit Bending Strategies - More Than Pitch

Part two of a short video series explaining the mentality and the techniques for the creation and use of DIY noise instruments, going deeper into their unique advantages and their problems, in various application scenarios. Adding pitch adjustment to a toy is a first step towards transforming it into a playable instrument. Starting from here, I outline some relevant strategies and considerations, such as circuit stability, range adjustment, control with touch and light, and more.

Your videos are really great, I've searching circuit bending for months on youtube finally found some helpful and very entertaining material! Awesome work!

[@SchemaMusicalis]

Thank you! So good to hear.

[@AndreijRublev]

great tutorial! Love it!

[@DUBLDENM]

Oh hey! Fancy seeing you here haha.. thanks to your awesome no-input help, I've now stumbled across circuit bending, where am I going to find all this extra time to put into these Newfound wonders!? 😂

[@AndreijRublev]

@@DUBLDENM eheheh it's a fun world!

[@iancain6647]

That board is perfect for a eurorack module

[@dimitris9724]

Awesome , efxaristo , good stuff

[@SchemaMusicalis]

Cheers, my pleasure

[@kylefraser6456]

So good thank you

[@SchemaMusicalis]

Thanks, all the best!

Hi! Very good material. I have one question (sorry if I use the wrong words, Im new to this). When you install the potentiometer you remove the resistor you add it over it?

[@SchemaMusicalis]

Thank you! I think I left the resistor in and connected the middle leg of the potentiometer to the resistor leg connecting to the chip. But you could remove the resistor altogether.

[@jan_harald]

pretty cool

[@ToysintheStatic]

Nice

[@LuisDiazDrums]

NICE im' starting with toys but my goal is a casio sk1 waiting for me in my closet ;) looks like i'm gonna like your channel :D

[@SchemaMusicalis]

Thanks. Very cool! Good luck with the sk1, it's a highly bendable keyboard with lots of bending references online

[@Nilbog-Hunter]

What value trimmer pot should I be using?

[@SchemaMusicalis]

anything from 100KOhm to 1MOhm. Depends on the toy, the exact way you implement the bend, and the action you want

7:53 this is very disgusting!

😄 This is what a few summer weeks on a beach with a bunch of friends will do. The sound is made by a small amplifier/speaker under the cloth, the kind you plug into the headphone output, that has two contacts exposed. These contacts connect with wires under the wet sand, where our feet are touching. When touching we close a feedback loop that makes the amplifier into an oscillator, with the skin resistance changing the pitch.
