How I Circuit Bend A Thing! (start to finish)

[@PocketOperatorGuy]

Damn! I love the custom paint and brush work. You just turned this 2 dollar thrift store item Into a sweet little noise maker. Awesome job man!

[@FrazerMerrick]

I've been searching for short and sweet intro to circuit bending video to show my young peoples music club and this is perfect - Thank you!

[@minimal_liminal]

Well done, this is an awesome project and video. I listened to you talk about it a bit on the Magpie’s podcast. You guys inspire me to keep making noise and constantly creating.

[@areusmartinez8343]

Tu web es increíble, creo que voy a pasar muchas horas navegando por ahí... wow 🙌

[@OkHousecat]

I'm glad it finally found you!

[@donniesmidway]

This was so sweet! Nice job

[@schnoodlevideo]

So cool seeing your process! Have you considered doing a voiceover for this sort of video down the line?

[@OkHousecat]

Thank you! Someday I should do that, once I can scrounge up some time

[@bendixmax]

Maybe with a circuit bent speak and spell ?😁

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

I thought that _was_ his voice...all strange glitchy bleeps!

[@lynnleistinger854]

Great video!

[@OrmondbeachDaniel]

DANGOL pretty dang good man

[@fakename1443]

Hey, I am just curious whether this is something you taught yourself or if you studied something related to electrical engineering? :)

[@kennystevens2923]

0:40 What is that thing? How does it work?

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

I'm pretty sure that's a custom built bending box, which has a variety of potentiometers on it, and 2 leads...you can use it to test out various pot values, before you hardwire something in. It's just for convenience, really...and you can make it yourself however you desire, even adding other various components like capacitors, selector switches, etc.....i.e., whatever you feel you would commonly like to test bends with.

Si coool man, great!

[@jessv3l142]

Awesome!!!

[@edroseptic9442]

You’re a wizard

[@Gandhi_Warhol]

Dope!!! 💪🏻

[@st00pidbunnie14]

this is so cool!!!! how do you know how to do it?

[@Time-cc2qb]

Very cool

[@lexnemesissounds]

Was a trim knob and switch the only additions?

[@veryunslay]

i wanna do this but i have 0 knowledge about electronics and circuits, where can i start?

[@bendixmax]

Go for older toys that dont have ics in it and only go for battery powered an cheap ones, there are solder connections you could fry the pcb with but its a little try and error, try to find something and see if there fits a button, switch or trim pod, Sonetimes theres an resistor which regulates the pitch of the sound so you can change it, there photo sensors that regulate their resistance by incoming light or you can wire two points to the outside of the case so you yourself can act as the switch;D there is a great book: handmade electronic music, hope that helps! greets and have fun ;)

I’d like if it wasnt at 69 already

nice.

coolllll

AGAPISA CIRCUIT BENDING καρδιοπάθειες

[@progressivehardindustrialslug]

Nice try. But that showed me very little about circuit bending. No context, zero technical expanations. So after watching this I still have ZERO information about how this is done. All I learned was you need a soldering gun. And I already knew that.

[@OkHousecat]

lol well this video is more or less just a timelapse of my whole process- literally how I circuit bend a thing, from start to finish. Definitely not the best beginner's guide to the technical side of things, but if that's what you're after, I recommend the book "Circuit Bending: Build Your Own Alien Instruments" by Reed Ghazala, it gets into the weeds about everything going on here

[@deastman2]

Definitely check out Reed Ghazala’s book. He literally invented the concept of circuit bending.

[@auditoryocular]

The video inspires me to keep tinkering and I’m going to look up the book. Like seeing the process and the customization.

[@minimal_liminal]

If the video was actually intended to be a complete step by step tutorial of this project it would probably be 4 hours long instead of 4 minutes. I appreciate the 4 minute version as an inspiration for what type of things may be possible to figure out on my own. Also, you may find it difficult to find another of these exact school buss toys. 🚗🚕🏎🚚🚛🚜🚐🚎🚌🚒🚑🚙

Google it, Dude!!! Nothing more, nothing less 🙂
