CASIO SK1: the circuitbending hell :)

[Transformer]

Just bought an SK1 for circuitbending and as I saw so many cool circuitbent layouts
I definately know now that I want to build it in a case like KORG MS20 or MS10.

But question: could you actually use a boldpatchbay in combination with pots,etc,...
I would make 2 sections otherwise: left boldpatchbay, right all these patchpoints combined with pots for control, and then finally some other stuff implemented based on Ghazalla's SK1 anti-theory.

SO: could you actually solder bolds on the IC-points and on the same solderpoint a pot?  I guess the SK would crash more?  Or couldn't this work?

I don't want to put you off at all, that'd be mean.

HOWEVER! I feel it wise to pint out this site has some VERY useful ariticles on what not to do with a circuit whilst bending.

I myself am a mere fledgeing (excitement wins over sense wayyy too often) when it comes to circuit bending...

I have found some things out, that may seem obvious - but only if you can see them first off....

HEAT no - not the film, but your soldering iron... I use a gas one, it's not huge in the power department, but I've found gas tends to run a bit hotter than it's electric counterparts.

Hot enought to do some serious dammage to some parts of a board. ('cooking chips' is a sure fire way of getting nothing from your beloved little project)

I have been told that ordinary lrons can do this to - it just seems easier to do with gas.

BAD JOINTS - not a medical condtion brought about due to age and mileage, but a topic that I've mentioned elsewhere the dreaded   dry joint. the link there should help shed some light on the subject.

Hope that they're of some use to you.

ok?

MKay, but that isn't an answer 2 my question

I mean could you actually solder more than 1 component to the same icpoint? 
For example IC-point 1 soldered to a bolt and a pot with switch?  So that you can combine
ic-points like the patchbay-method and in combination with that on/off-switch and tunable pot?

Yeah it's more than possible, I've done it a couple of times, you just helps if you've got one of those little micro vices to hold everything together.
