hmm, well i usually salvage all my slide pots from old equalizers. the problem with that is they are usually logarithmic. usually though, the leds can be removed and replaced with other color leds of the same size. if you do decide to hack the pss-130, you should take a look at my pss-30 schematics. i came up with a pretty good battery alarm disable circuit. other stuff too
Yeah, I can't find any good fora for this kind of thing. The only parasite circuits in my 2 Yamaha efforts are clocks and bandpass filters, I have a PSS 130 that may get the total gutting... I also have a bunch of full synthesizers I have to get into cases. Do you know of a decent source for illuminated slide pots in other colors? Psyched to get back into this now that the Daft Punk helmet guts I'm making for someone are done.
Yeah! Giving it another listen. With my last one I took a lot of RAM based bends and noise/distortion inputs to switch busses, and then used a few pots like you are to 'monitor' one bus or the other with those sensitive feedbacks. I think there was some crazy stuff going on with the voltages in my PSS100 as well, I had to use an oscilloscope finally. I found somebody with a roborouter to cut panels for slide pots, they'll be in the house this winter for sure. Nice work man!!!
@MILQUETOASTE nice, i wish i could tell you more about this circuit. there is quite a lot going on in there. know of any good bending forums? all of the ones i know of have died off...
@MILQUETOASTE hey greg! glad to hear you are still bending. yeah, this keyboard has been a real challenge. it really is as stubborn as everyone says...
GOod to see you again....always awesome!!! I am still using the stuff you sent me....that was so awesome of you to hook a brotha up on some of your discards which turned out to be SUPER AWESOME for me.....YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
@BrianWilliamGreen Not sure I would call that "advanced" circuit bending although it is a great book. I would however also recommend "Circuit-Bending Build Your Own Alien Instruments" by Reed Ghazala and "Electronic projects for musicians" by Craig Anderton.
@BrianWilliamGreen: YEP!! great, great book. i got it a few days ago and after reading the first 10 pages i learned more then in 1 year experimenting and build web tutorials. this book is highly reccommended for all beginners (like me)!!!

@deathsmileyinc : "handmade electronic music" book!! great, great book. i got it a few days ago and after reading the first 10 pages i learned more then in 1 year experimenting and building different web tutorials. this book is highly reccommended for all beginners (like me)!!!
and awesome tips like: "cover a piezo transducer with a few layers of latex, then swallow it and record yourself while eating a banana ;-))"
@elecrtibemx ive read it but i feel like its still to basic, eric archer has a great page on documentation but most of those books are really expensive, almost impossible to buy and hard to download
And this sold on ebay for 350 lmao

How often do you end up frying the thing you're working on?

freak!! again you created a big monstermachine. if i look over to the bends and mods i created i could cry. (only a little bit):-)
your skills are really impressive! wonderful device!!

Bent? I think that implies that the original circuit is still there.... This looks like you just used the original keyboard.

do you recommend any books or other kinds of documentation about electronics and/or circuitbending i could use to learn advanced circuitbending?

@deathsmileyinc check out the book Nicolas Collins - Hand made Electronic Music

@BainLuke i would hardly call any of it "advanced circuit bending" just learn about electronics and that will help you in circuit bending.
