Hi, i bougth a Korg DDD-1 and would like to bend it. Does anybody of you have some hints where to start on that baby ? Maybe some fotos ? Thanks a lot in avance for your help.
Bending a DDD-1 just means finding the ROM chips and shorting the pins together. I can't remember off the top of my head where the ROM chips are on a DDD-1 but i think they are around the middle of the bottom board. Take a look on the TIPS pages of the site for advice on working out which ones rae the ROM chips http://www.circuitbenders.co.uk/tips2.html
Does your's have the sampling board installed? Despite every DDD-1 i've ever seen claiming to be a 'sampling drum machine' i've never actually seen one with the sampling option on board.
Hello, many thanks for your answer, i will try to find the ROM chips and shortcut pins. Is there a danger to fry them (should i use a mega ohm resistor between the bending test probes or is a resistro not necessary ?
You mean the optional DSB-1 sampling board ? No there is no one installed in mine. I have only 3 ROM cards: Rock1, Rock2 and Variation3 (Bass).
Would you recommend to use resistors for the bent shortcuts when using a patchbay or switches ? For the VL-Tone i used RC-circuits with the bent shortcuts.
Cheers arthur
