Jürgen Haibles Wasp VCF clone If you're looking for a unique sound build this one. Besides the PoLiVokS this is my favourite filter! JHs design follows the original circuit but has a different CV section and a special feature: he used the unused 4069 triggers for a distortion/ speaker simulation circuit - very cool!
welcome to the wonderful world of wacky keys and weird sounds... the site for modification and collecting of small music keyboards and electronic sound toys Circuit- bending is the art of hacking, modifying and abusing the hardware of cheap electronic sound toys or such keyboards ("tablehooters") in totally different ways than their manufacturer has intended - namely as experimental musical (or not so musical) instruments. This can result in such odd things like converting a battery operated baby toy duck into a tekkno synthesizer, though circuit- bending can be basically regarded as a cyberage's anarchic successor of phono record scratching. Much like record scratching only got possible by systematically ignoring all grannies warning: "Don't touch the precious gramophone discs with your smeary, sweaty fingers!", the same way circuit- bending lives from systematically ignoring any "warranty void" warning stickers on its explorative mission to boldly hear what no man has heard before...

Electronic Skip Protection is a beautiful thing. When switched on, the CD player will buffer a certain amount of incoming audio from the disc in RAM. When something happens to make the disc skip, the player plays this stored audio from RAM while it figures out what the hell is going on with the disc and fixes itself, making for lovely skipless playback on the listener’s side.

ah bah, c'est quand même un poil solide une photo resistance... Le mieux, à mon sens, c'est de percer un trou de la taille de la photo resistance, comme ça tu peux l'ajuster pile poil au plastique, et après, bam, tu balance de la colle chaude derrière histoire que ça tienne. Faut pas trop se prendre la tête, parfois. L'autre question, c'est pour un lfo / vactrol.

Grandma had a noise band back in the 1930s! Legend has it that a young woman hot-rodded a tube radio and put on Vaudeville style noise shows in the mid-west around 1933. Is she still living among us? Read all about it on my ReGurgiTron site... ReGurgiTron More fun than a heaping bucket of stomach acid!What we have here is a simple single-transistor amplifier connected as a twin-t filter. The pot at the bottom provides the "wah" function. So the first thing you can do is simply build the circuit with the VR1 control as a pot with a knob on it and you have a cocked-wah pedal: set any wah position manual and you're good to go. But what if you replace the VR1 pot with a low frequency oscillator (LFO)?

The drawing above shows one of the many ways you can utilize transistors in circuit bending. The transistor in this drawing is there to automatically trigger the circuit to make sound. The circuit shown is a generic sound board from a generic kids toy. Let’s go over the basics.

Salut tout le monde, Je me suis lancé dans la fabrication du LFO pour la dictée magique en suivant le schéma de Casper. ( http://www.casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/speak-n-spell/Speak-n-Xbending/LFO%20schematic2.jpg ) Cependant ma version de la dictée étant différente de la sienne, je n'ai pas trouvé la broche qui fait varier le pitch. J'ai testé sur la broche de picth que j'utilise sur ma dictée magique mais rien n'y fait (il me semble que c'est la version 2 que j'ai).

Towards the start of Autumn 2000, I was idly searching the www for experimental sound/music stuff. I chanced upon an article by Reed Ghazala, who explained the strange art of 'Circuit Bending'. This is basically a process by which anyone can make bizzare alien electronic musical instruments! The procedure is essentially to take apart any battery-powered (low voltage!) electronic sound producing toy and indescriminitely short-circuit it while it makes it's sounds.
