circuit bent playskool farm

This is one of my favorites just because all the melodic tones sound like they were recorded onto analog tape a really long time ago (wish youtube's audio sounded better). And it's so perfect for sampling loops with a pedal, etc. Gets even weirder the longer you mess with it...

Added: Two way toggle for two pitch/glitch ranges, with dial for control, reset switch, and 1/8" output

The dust storm is coming! You can never go back to the farm...

I'm getting ready to work on one of these as my first bend. Seems like it has a lot of potential (especially with the built in tempo control. I'd imagine replacing the tempo pot could either allow for much slower or much faster speeds. Out of curiosity, what value of potentiometer did you use for the pitch/glitch control in yours?

Yeah I am looking for another one that I can bend completely differently than this one, it just sounds so unique even pre-bends...It's hard to remember which one I used, I did this one pretty fast and there ended up being several potential connections for pitch control, plus I ended up choosing to leave the original tempo control as is...but try either pretty low (5 to 10Kohm) or pretty high (5 to 10Mohm)...sorry I can't give you a more exact estimate, but I don't have it with me at the moment.

at 02:16 turned out to be very cool

That's fucking scary man.

@fheyes

Just get an electronic device that makes sound, take it apart and mess with different parts of the circuit

[trampbiker]

soo... people enjoy this racket?

hey im currently doing a design course and was hoping to look into stuff like this for the basis of a project, but I honestly have no idea about circuitry, I've done a little research into potentiometers but am still unsure about how I would move towards creating something like this? any help would be brilliant cheers
