Hello from a new member and my QY10
« on: April 07, 2008, 09:04:29 PM »
Hello there..great site and great forum.

I just wanted to share my latest creation my bent yamaha qy10 cos I'm really chuffed with it.

There's a picture, a video and a some information about the bends I did on my blog

http://concretedog.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-instrumentcircuit-bent-yamaha-qy10.html

I'm loving this bit of kit and I think its going to become the central point of my midi setup, it rocks when I sync it up to my tr505..I can't wait to hear it through a PA.

 Feel free to ask any questions or give me any feedback...be gentle though!

Yeah it came out that way...I've done my fair share of dayglo punky snot covered gaffa taped together machines...but this want just felt like it needed a bit of a clean interface...I guess it was after doing all the soldering onto the pretty small surface mount rom chip I felt I owed it something ;)

Nice work, and even better i just remembered that i bought two QY10's a while back with the intention of bending them after seeing the burnkit site.

................. now if i can just remember what i did with them.

circuitbenders....I'd love to see what you could do with one of these (let alone 2 ;D)..

and yes indeed a precise soldering hand and the thinnest tip you can find helps with these as the main chip IC14 is surface mount and pretty small...its doable though. If you haven't done any soldering to surface mount stuff before try and find a something similar on a scrap board (pc motherboards can be good) and practise!
