  1. That takes a little guts to bend a real 303. I was thinking of making a documentary about the best ways to improve your 303. Stuff like running it over with your car. Dropping it through spinning helicopter blades. Throwing alien acid on it. The usual stuff.

  2. Is it really circuit bending if you're dealing with Analogue Circuitry?

  3. I always thought of circuit bending as:

    1)connecting together stuff that's not really supposed to be connected,

    and

    2)finding stuff that's not supposed to be connected by mostly-blind hunting, often with a wet finger.

    Usually doesn't require schematic or almost any knowledge of circuits, and you could do it to analog or digital circuits, I guess.

    Per that definition, it is close to the very last thing I'd ever do to a 303

  4. I used to have a 303... Exchanged it for rent. Not much later, I learned that it could be circuit bent. DOH!
