Hello there, I'm new around here and to circuit bending and have been finding it absolutely fascinating poking around over the last few weeks! Such a rewarding hobby and this seems like a great forum
I'm hoping some kind souls can help me out with a few problems I'm having with my first project...
I've added a line out to a 'dj mixer' toy thing ('mix me dj', I think its the same thing as currently on sale in woolworths as 'smash hits dj mixer') but the output is very buzzy, kind of like a ground hum.
It was the same on the internal speaker when I first got it so I think its just a dodgy joint somewhere on the board, but can anyone point me to where I should start looking for the solution? Does it mean I'm on the right track if I can find places where touching/applying pressure to the board makes the buzz worse, and that something around there probably needs resoldering?
When I had the circuit out of the case I'm sure the buzz went away, but now its screwed back in its come back and is highly irritating!
Another question while I'm here - I've also found some basic pitch bends, but the one of these resistors appears to be 230 Mohms - is this at all likely, or is it ludicrously high and I'm misreading the resistor somehow? Where can I get pots that will let me bend this ultrahigh and ultralow?!
Thanks to any kind souls who can offer some experience and wisdom!
