Hello to everyone
My name is Ben i am a musician living in Southampton. I am a drummer primarily but "dabble" in other instruments just for the crack. I have played live with a couple of circuit benders before and i thought it would be a good idea to have a go myself. i have just opened up a cheap old set of children's electric bongo things and already have found a couple of nice bends both of them controlling the tempo and pitch of the beats. i have installed a voltage crash in bettween the battery and CB and was wanting to find a bend that had a delay effect. BUT can i find it, can i bollocks.
i know this is well vague and obviously without seeing it you cant say for sure but do you know where a bend like that would stem from (from a chip or from components ,resistors and so forth) and as well does anyone know a good place to get components other than maplins they charge a bomb !!!!!
as well as all that something else if anyone has any plans for a bending console, a housing containing selectable (via multi-position rotary switches) components to run the circuit-bending paths through -- various resistors, capacitors, potentiometers, sensors, LEDs, etc.). that would be great like i said i wouldnt even know where to start and i think it would get my soldering up to standard. LOL
sorry for being really really newbie but I AM !!!!
cheers
