Circuit Bent Yamaha DD-6 Drum Machine

[EjectedStomach]

So you use this for harsh noise and noisecore n' shit? If so, cool.

[potar]

@EjectedStomach - yes sir.

[VSS2400]

OMG :DD that sounded AWFUL!

[88joey88]

Hahaha as if you think you are avant garde.

[FireAndFlames]

AWESOME.

Some intense flanging. Sounds like you disrupted some resonant circuits and their lower Q caused their voltages to vary over time. It makes me wonder why they chose the original sound as the "right" one.

[drummingrat2]

drum machines are for wanna be's with no or very little penis'. all you that find this video interesting, exciting or just enjoying watching it: GET OFF THE COMPUTER! STOP BEING A DRUM WANNA BE!

[ikemaster22]

?_?

[raidereddie]

sounds like my car AM radio late at night when driving out in the boondocks!

[roachroast24]

what is circut bending? is this a modded drum machine?

[lusefer]

circuit bending is going into any electronic device that makes noise and remapping the circuit board.

[AMOKIAN]

YOOO, this was the 1st favorite bent drum video.

Looking back at my save bent drum vids.

See ya FRIDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!

[maxheadroom1987]

hey i got given one of these, not modded though just a standard model. is it worth anything?

[potar]

it is worth circuit bending, otherwise about 3-5 bucks at the Flea Market.. a real noise beast, just about every one of the early DD series is good.

[micp4130]

i like experimenting, but a lot of that stuff sounded like crap to me...

[potar]

spoken like a true Avant Gardist, you should step outside of the crap you normally listen to.

[micp4130]

i often do, but this just didn't really work for me... but i gave a try, that gotta count for something...

[potar]

fair enough!

[moof63]

I'll give you credit for experimenting with sound. Thats pushing boundaries and thats a good thing. Even though most of this sound doesn't agree with me, but my ears are only one set of around 6 billion! Carry on.

[timcat107]

they are all stupid. good job!

[radauag]

what the hell

[andogg44]

that sounds like ass

[potar]

hmm, not like my ass.. you should see a doctor if your ass sounds like that!

[andogg44]

damn your funny

[maxheadroom1987]

@andogg44

and your a cunt, go and die you prick

[andogg44]

if saying that makes you feel somehow superior, then go on. say whatever you want. but I can already tell that you are a simple minded teen who likes to fight over the internet, just remember fighting on the internet doesnt get you anywere in life so go get a fucking job or sommthing usefull

[AMOKIAN]

Wow, 22 thousand views awesome.

I am surprised you kept those negative remarks up, I usually remove negative remarks.

My wife says I should keep the good & back remarks.

[potar]

yeah I like to add fuel to the fire! some people do get blocked tho!

Take it easy!

[revolutionday1]

Your wife threw her titties in my hand, once...it was weird.

[mickeymoose76]

what the fuck is the point in making such an awful sound??? this is shit, no offence!

[potar]

why don't you tell us how you really feel. The point is you think inside of the box and most likely live a vanilla life, no offense. Music is art, sometimes art is abstract. Get it yet?

[mickeymoose76]

i hate abstract art too!!

No real art in it, just a mess of mixed up ideas and theories that dont make sense or have any entertianment value at all...

[potar]

I've always said "closed minds should come with closed mouths"

end of story!

[EightPaws4Hoof]

Just sounds like distortion to me, usally musicians try not to make those sorts of noises as it sounds aufal, can any of you bent guys actually play these machines so they sound like drums?

[chthonik]

Totally missing the point. Probably doesn't know anything about noise music.

[BenjaminxkNight]

noise is cool sometimes, but if that noise has no feel to it, it sucks.

[Leniv666]

for god sake u have "Awesome!" skill

yeaha! Go Dj! lets make some noise! :D

[wielderofdrumstix]

i could see (hear) this being used in music! well done!

[juanitosagrav]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[P0SSESSEDNINTEND0]

Ndsnjkdhksrhn.

I love it.

How much would you make another for?

[potar]

I'm building another right now, it will have an Atari joystick control as well as 8 dpst switches. Send me your email and I'll let you know before I list it on eBay!

Potar

[vdbdg]

seems close to putting your head in the toilet as you flush

[andreabubus]

Very noising :-) some extreme sounds!...

[4Realzzz]

thats sounds like indians gone wild xD

[gezaklaat]

what a big peace of shit you are!!!!!

[potar]

WORD!!!!

[limestoneman]

Dude that's beautiful.

[cheshomania]

you are an Einstein of assholes

[nonscriptum]

how much did it sell for?

[swarm69]

frekin sweet its so noiseey love it

[gretschdrums666]

kill yourself

[Tertuel]

waste of a drum machine

[Isismo0n]

that is so pointless..

[johnny8]

Hey Frankenstein1. They said that the electric guitar was useless when it was first developed. Time will tell.

[DrFrankenstein1]

I have a decent background in audio electronics and since synths already exist, circuit bending is pretty pointless. Besides, you're a jackass just for comparing this annoyance to electric guitar..seriously, stop posting before you hurt yourself.

[homebrewalright]

Circuit bending is good for people who Dont have a decent background in electronics to get started.

[DrFrankenstein1]

Actually building basic transistor and op amp based low output amplifiers suitable for preamps will be an easier and better place to start. From there you step up to active filters, compression and time based modulation effects. Eventually you might even build an analog synth....

[homebrewalright]

can you send me a relevant link? I've been looking for a good pre amp project.

[becomingzero]

"Don't have a decent background in electronics to get started" Absolutely. This is antitheory. And it's more about art than text book formula. Combine it with the knowledge you speak of and hardware hacking comes into play. Anyone can bend. Anyone can build a 555 oscillator. The difference being that ten identical machines bent in different ways far outweighs the sonic diversity of ten 555's wired in slightly different ways. Lo-fi f**kery.... The 'punk' spirit of the electronic genre.

[DrFrankenstein1]

Wow, how utterly useless. Circuit bending is the dumbest thing to have ever come along, it's just useless band pass filters to make noise. Of all the circuits you could take the time to build, these are by far the most useless and basic.

[Beck436]

DrFrankenstein1 If that isn't the dumbest statement I've ever read, I don't know what is.

[Madisongrey]

fuck you! cunt

[void212]

i love error/glitch music. good job.

[AMOKIAN]

Yoo POTAR, I thought I commented on this awhile ago, maybe I wasn't a registered user when I saw this.

I thought it was super fresh!

Peace

Igor

[alaric007]

uhm... i really don't get what the sound is supposed to be..

[potar]

that's kinda the point of circuit bending.

[tachoschieber]

great! :)

i use for 15 years a DD-11 just for fun.

It brings meorys back (but my DD-11 sound not like

this :) :) ... :) lol

cool work

[Copper20]

That's loud

[BigPUTZ]

AMATUER

[potar]

Just a demo of the sounds...

[b03tz]

useless :S

[potar]

TO A AMETUER? OR TO PRO SUCH AS YOURSELF?

[b03tz]

Alright brother :) Not trying to harm you. Please explain me the use of it..i've seen more ppl do this and it just sounds like "KGGGG" to me.

Please explain (i'm serious!)

Peace out!

[potar]

Some musicians who have been at it for a while get tired of the same old sounds, time signatures, etc. this breaks the monoteny in a major way. i use some of the sounds on hip hop tracks, some I just really enjoy the random nature of. Mostly I just make horrible horrible noise that my friends and I enjoy.

I just sold this machine to a cat in Florida, he seems to enjoy it.

[b03tz]

haha :D Ok that's cool.

[potar]

HAHA, GLAD YOU DIDN'T POST WHILE THE AUCTION WAS GOING...LOL :)

[UnDeux]

Haha neat.
