LoFi Ninja - Circuit Bent GameBoy - keyboard modulator

[lolDancube]

I love chiptunes, and the Gameboy can produce some really awesome sounds, but I really don't understand why you'd want to have it make sounds like this, it just sounds like when one of your SNES carts got fucked up and blared sounds out of your TV speakers, haha.

Am I missing the point, or is this all circuit bending has to offer?

[benusherr]

MY CATS LOVE THIS SHIT

[Zephtalus]

HA HA HA HA HA!!!!! :D

Stupid Game Boy!!! ja ja ja ja ja ja

omg u silly guy xD

[snower5554]

something in my house smells like shit...

[yukikoforevernoise]

circuit bending is awesome and I want to learn some day . . . but there are just some things that are sacred . . . why would you decimate a brick gameboy?

[absolalone111]

@yukikoforevernoise There easy to get hold of, at the market near where i live, they crop up reularly for £12 for 1 with 2 games and £15 for 1 with 3 games. Gameboy colours are about £8 so its awsome for me!

[bsodfc]

Awesome.

[tribalastronauts]

this is amazing !! well done bro

[wisteela]

That is brilliant. Nice and original.

[MyDemise13]

that thing really sounds like shit up to 2:50 ! after 2:50 is bare gd =]

[Beck436]

I've always had a hard time with crossbends.

[aggarotte]

SUPERIOR

[HarryBlach]

how did you do that????? what keyboard are you using fantastic vid

[LofiNinja]

The brown box is connected to various points in the gameboy.. The keyboard is modulating the clock of the GB..

[xxxogchris]

it might break up!

[ErikKiliam]

Iv been trying to do some bends on a gameboy now for a while but didnt get far. Iv tried crossbending it with a tr-505 with little success. Could you give me any hits where to start?

This is fucking revolutionary btw.

[LofiNinja]

The clock and the screen is interesting :-P

[ExorcismOnMankind]

Got many bends on the keyboard??\??

[LofiNinja]

Yes, but you cannot see them in this vid.. Most of them are on the side you cannot see.. But this vid is about the GameBoy

:-D

"Hello"

"my name is"

"Ultra Violet"

For those who didn't get it, look inside the VU meter

Awesome man! I wish I had a fraction of the engineering skill you have. Your vids are just inspiring! XO

[LofiNinja]

Thanks alot! Ah, I would't call it an engineering skill, I'm just experimenting and having fun! You can too!

[pinkdave747]

Sorry for being dim but if I opened up a piece of electronics, it would just look like a jungle to me. I wouldn't know what to connect to. I understand that you use potentiometers and switches (maybe other things?) but like I said I don't know a power circuit from an audio or video circuit. Where would a guy like me start to experiment?

[LofiNinja]

I wouldn't reccomend a gameboy if you don't have a lot of experience, because you can fry it very quickly! Other than that just go ahead and experiment!

[blada600]

oh.

[EA78751]

the screen looks nice, as does the blue LED meter thingie. its cool how the visual goes along with the sonics... I'd like to see a close-up video of the GB's screen in action.

[LofiNinja]

Thanks.. The blue LED is auctually ultra violet, and the needle in the meter has been painted with flourecent paint.. Looks really nice in the dark! I guess I can make a close-up of the screen..

[SeanBroccoli]

serious props.

how'd you modulate the GB w/ the keyboard? the keyboard headphone out into some processor or whatever in the gameboy?

[LofiNinja]

Thanks.. Yeah something like that ;-)

[DottieTheHedgehog]

this is awesome !! i have a keyboard i just need to get it fixed and i need a gameboy haha . then i need to know how . doesnt look easy :(

[ErikKiliam]

Hah this is amazing!

[imanapron]

that's insane :D

a video explaining/showing how you did this would be good

that screen going crazy looks awesome :]

[LofiNinja]

Thanks.. I just probed around in the GameBoy, simple..

[aDimWit]

That's incredible. Great job.

[LofiNinja]

Thank you very much..
