anyone got any tips on how to get it to still produce sound after opening one of these hoes? they piss me off so much with their damn little metal connectors to let the circuit board know which faceplate they have....I've tried everything man and eventually just tore those damn little metal contacts off and tried taping them in the proper places to no avail still....anyone have any tips, ideas, help, etc? I'm really pissed @ this toy more so than any previous bend I've bothered with....

Anyone here know "FASTMATT"???

0
0
There is a guy -by the name of FASTMATT- selling Circuit Bent Speaks (all of them) on eBay... and I'm wondering if anyone here has ever bought from him or knows of him. I'm not much of an electrical engineer, so I'd rather buy a bent device from someone who is. Fastmatt's bent devices look really pro and he has these little blue lights (on all of his devices) that change brightness with the sound and also light up your hands. I just wanted to check before dropping $229 on a Speak & Spell (the older one with round buttons).

circuit bending Phonics A-Z

0
0
I was wondering if anyone here has bent a Vtech Phonics from A - Z. This is going to be my first instrument that I"m bending and I was wondering if anyone has any beta for me. I've found a pitch control to run a pot off and I've found a few glitches that don't seem very stable. Being there is a button for repeat I'm assuming there is a loop bend somewhere in there. Any other ideas?

RHEED GHAZAL Circuit Bending book

I just got it and it is really wonderful.

What a great job he did on it.

I also thought I should hip you all to the fact that
I bought a toy keyboard brand new for $10 at Sear's tonight
in the Capitola Mall (near Santa Cruz, California)

really nice sounds...........a vibrato addition to them, a great and really cheesy
little microphone that does cool feedback things
and $10!!!!!

Don't know how bendable it is because I'm a rank newbie but it's cheap enough to fuck with without terrible fear of losing it.

AM Radio = Theremin

0

http://www.dogstar.dantimax.dk/theremin/bamtrat.htm

"What happens if you start to restore an old AM battery-operated tube table radio... and put it back together all wrong? The answer - BAMTRAT! (Battery AM Tube Radio Authentic Theremin).

While such a project might offend the sensibilities of collectors, I decided to go ahead with it because this poor old radio had been sitting in my "to do" corner for several years, and I could never quite get the motivation to restore it. After all, the reward for all that work would have been just another AM radio.

Instead, I decided to re-use all the major components to create a tube theremin with as authentic a sound as possible. A novel "differential tuning" approach makes for ease of tuning using the original tuning dial. The close-coupled antenna coil, used as the variable pitch oscillator, duplicates Lev Termen's trick of using hard coupling to provide that unique saw-like classic theremin sound.

Reviving dead speak and spells

0
0
So I broke the cardinal rule of bending speak n spells: I was connecting leads with no resistor in the middle. I was only on battery power, as I know better than to bend stuff that's connected to an AC adapter. Unfortunately I apparently broke a perfectly good german speak n math, and I don't know where to get another like it. Does anybody here know how I can trouble shoot the sucker? Mr Univac told me that there might be a way to revive them... does anyone have info on this? You would be my personal savior.

Heya guys

I just opened my site last week, modwerk.com. It's an online marketplace for all things modified whether it be circuit bending, music, clothes, art, toys, everything. I'm trying to get some sellers set up. The shop is pretty barebones right now so I'm on a recruiting mission. hehe. Is anybody interested in selling some of their mods? Shoot me an email and I'll set you up with a sellers account. Do you guys like the idea of the site?
