Not that I'm a purist, but methinks circuit bending should be confined to pointless Metasonix-like shitty sound design...
ReplyDeleteSeriously if people want to modify their shit, let them without shitty ass comments just putting them down because they are tired of a boring ass synth that has been around for 25 years. Why put down other people's enjoyment? Circuit bending is really just a form of modification, and if there was never any of that, music design and evolution would never change. Metasonix is not circuit bending by the way. Just don't post on topics you don't know anything about, just to say that this is stupid.
ReplyDeleteI could make some comment about the relative wisdom of posting a comment which rails against other people posting comments, but I'd have to link it to itself, which would just get complicated.
ReplyDeleteMay a thousand flowers blossom, and may none of us be forced to smell any of them.
I've given up on my crusade to have two terms: "circuit bending" and "modifying"
ReplyDeletefor me, c.b. is when you lick your fingers and slap them down on random PCB points while the thing is on and listen for weird/fun stuff. write that down, add a switch or pot or vactrol later. can be a lot of fun, but doesn't require much in the way of knowledge or planning.
modifying is when you think that your synth could use some extra panel control over the filter for each voice, or would be more useful if it had an external input to the VCF. It usually involves using the schematics, deciding on the needed components, possibly breadboarding, then adding that to the synth. it's also fun, but in a planned kind of way and often results in a predictable control. this post is an example I think of modifying.
I do enjoy both, but I feel the latter should be respected for what it is.
Start bending SR-16s, those things are worthless! Leave the analogue stuff alone.
