  4. The 'Glitch-haters' are so funny. It's not necessarily the end product that's what makes people into it - a lot of it's just the exploratory process.

    I think the a-holes that complain about it are just bitter that the kids think that someone flipping a 35 cent switch on a $15 speak & math is cooler than their geezer ass playing bad Tangerine Dream ripoff banjo music on a bazillion dollar modular they spent 20 years building. :)

  5. No hate here, but circuit benders most often are wanky fuzz mongers. I suppose it's an acquired taste, much like with modular nuts, actually. I like seeing such different aspects of sound design showcased here. I wouldn't want to be alienated within my bubble seeing only that which I regard to be interesting and practical in my music playing.

    They're waiting for their ZerOscillators.q

  7. I built music a controller using arcade buttons (not a midi controller, unfortunatly, so it wasn't that useful)... but I am suprised that arcade buttons aren't used for musical gear more often. Arcade buttons are GOOD BUTTONS. You can smack them, and smash them, and hit them hard over and over and over, and I never had a single one go bad.

  8. The pathetic issue here is that this thing is totally ugly and there's no cat sitting on top of it to hide.

  9. Worst looking bent 505 I've ever seen.

  10. I bet it's really nicely done inside.
    I hear there's even a carport for a Barbie doll inside.

    Yep. How to ruin a perfectly good 505.

  11. IMO, it is pretty daft to consider an unmodded 505 as "perfectly good" They are really quite shite without mods.
