i picked up a vtech 'my laptop' for a few quid, its really robust and has some nice bends, easy pitch stuff and what not but here's the thing: first time i opened it up i found a bend that made it freeze on one note of a tune, or a sylabal of a word and it was just what i was lookng for! the note could be modified with a pitch pot and by linking it to another resistor gave a nice distortion and another gave a wobbly crunchy glitch ontop of the note. so i put a switch in and every thing was great, left it for a night and when i came back it didnt do it anymore!!! its just a goddamn pitch switch now! any ideas why this f*ckwit of a machine is taunting me so, and how i can tell it whos boss!!!
cheers guys toby.
its the batteries
Yeah, maybe the circuit needs less resistance for this to happen?
Or maybe it's something to do with capacitors discharging..
