Circuit bending: Hacking a Furby in the name of music

[@TheVerge]

What toy or household object would you like to circuit bend?

[@lettersandnumbersuc]

Any vintage sound that we grew up with will be extremely rewarding to here again. Love the bike!!

What's with the dislikes ?? Are everyone so narrow minded ?? This video is well produced.

[@ItsaDaPope-a]

If you love hearing the words "circuit bending" every 10 seconds, you're gonna love this!

[@CASHXRAT]

I once bought a naturally circuit-bent Furby from a rummage sale. It spoke in tongues like a demon, it was terrifying.

[@Schnort]

Iirc, Furbys that were produced in a certain factory tended to have this problem, even in fresh batteries. I think it's more common on the halloween themed one with the hat? Also, eventually, they just wear out. Somethings probably corroded in there.

[@Schnort]

Yes, I did a bit of research, and JT factory Furbys tend to be of worse quality than those that came out of other factories. The issue I mentioned with the halloween edition Furby is unrelated, actually. It's a problem with many RL factory holiday editions.

[@icednightcores]

I staarted crying when it went ‘Dada me scared’ 😂😭

[@BimBurger]

What's up with the dislike to like ratio. What's wrong with the video?

[@youfube-]

Can't wait you to publish a video, where you attempt to correctly assemble an ordinary kid's puzzle.

[@guys-in9vd]

i found a broken 1999 furby inside a bush, washed it and FIXED IT WITH A PIPE SOLDERING IRON

[@im_kamil]

Wow, they've been deleting comments telling them how they should address their bad computer building video...

[@MrGamelover23]

Because this isn't the place for it. Wait, but then again no place is if this isn't, um... But Twitter seems like a better way to get in touch I guess.

[@Cynnabuns]

Am I the only one who feels bad for the lil guys?

[@annosayu]

As a furby collector, It Hurts me How he ripped the fur without cutting the ears threads and broke one of his ears💔

[@marcf7044]

Long ago, Furbys lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the circuit nation attacked

When I saw circuit bending I knew I was about to watch a video with look mum no computer.

He's like the Colin Furze of music!

[@Digalog]

Nowadays modular synthesis is the closest we get from circuit bending I guess

[@Povilaz]

Circuit bending old toys (especially that make sound) is the best way to produce amazing sound. Really interesting.

[@jan_harald]

too bad modern toys are not very bendable...if at all... everything except the power circuits is in one tiny blob chip, which is specifically engineered to only do that one single thing it was meant to do, no more are there lots of parts you could tweak and short and modify, it's all in one place...

[@pspdeepti]

This looks so cool man and it is sad to know that it is dimiishing in the future!!

[@rea8585]

I haven't seen something so "The Internet" in a while! It's fascinating how this guy's passion and creativity are without borders. As long as Look mum no computer will be alive, circuit bending won't be dead!

the last circuit bender

[@JogsMovies]

In Germany there is a band called GeekOrchester, which plays sometimes in a Latenight-show called "NeoMagazin Royale". They used also old tech like printer and other machines for the sounds. I don't know which old tech in details, because I'm too young 😉

[@temptor7585]

"with all of the advancements made in electronics, something that could be done on a laptop, why put all of the effort and time into curcuit bending" Why put any effort into anything these days, everything is already done for you! that question kinda pissed me off

[@starcubey]

Usually, when composing, you are more worried about how a song sounds than anything else. If you were chasing after a specific sound, learning how to do circuit bending would be ridiculous, but this is less about making music and more about doing something cool.

[@TMWYTM]

This is so cool! I can see how they're appreciated by some folks only

[@patinaries1]

Can someone please open the stopwatch in his pocket? That's Doctor who trapped in a human body XD

[@cooldollstuff]

I would love a furby that plays music

You didn't realise the furby was a furbling! So that was sus

[@natecw4164]

Good content but the video was fluffy as all fluff.

[@anthonybessete2336]

No my childhood

[@hein_mcleod]

I wonder where they got the idea from... Might Car Mods did this almost a year ago...

[@qislegit.donttrustthemedia6232]

This has been around for decades. Anyone with an interest in electronics but not the knowledge to understand how they work....this is what they do. Stimulants help.

[@RogerPodacter]

will it short-circuit if it touches the system?
