Re: modded EDP/bending
i know that much
i wasnt about to start arbitrarily shorting things out
i just figured there mightve been a relatively simple mod
like sending the feedback amount to ground, or shorting the ram(to make it
play back randomly or whatnot)
its a wonderful machine, and i personally wouldnt have the gall(or teh
budget)to fry one
itd just be nice to have a looper with some pinache
or at worst, if i fry the thing(which im not even going to open the thing
up
until i get some good suggestions(if any))i can always make it onto a
looper

<< Circuit bending's generally much more productive on a device with a chip
that's deeper than the interface would appear, that is, in order to cut
production costs, there are fewer features than the IC supports [e.g.
low-end Casios; the SK-1 is the archetypal circuit-bending guinea pig], or
in a device which wasn't designed for strictly musical purposes [like a
Speak & Spell], but uses a similar chip. This is often because the same
chip could be used in several different devices, and it would be cheaper
than designing a different one for each model. More sophisticated
equipment
usually has more features/controls/parameters already occupying those
pin-outs, or software that really doesn't like encountering alternate
circuit paths, so you'd probably get your most dramatic and rewarding
results bending the cheap stuff, and you wouldn't be risking destroying
something valuable. >>
