circuit bent tr-505 - sequencer glitch switches demo

A quick demo of my 'sequencer glitch' switches on my heavily circuit-bent tr-505 [acid smasher]which is controlling my new 'synsonics drum'. All the bends are located on the bottom pins of IC1 chip in the 505. I'll need to re-wire some of the switches, as there is a small problem with drum muting.

Also I recommend that you download some basic electronics books. It'll help you understand the basics of what all the components on the circuit board do.

If this is your first project then you'd probably be better off finding a cheap casio style keyboard and starting there as they're a bit harder to damage.

Good luck

Hello 9eyeh8chu9, the good folks at 'burnkit2600' have loads of mods for the synsonics and the tr-505. Be careful with modding the synsonics though, they are a bit fragile and the chips are easily damaged.

[squidfanny]

Yes you can. I think you can record three short loops.

I just wanted to add some analog drums to the bent 505, so never really played much with the synsonics sequencer.

Not quite the first......... i did a similar thing with a casio sk-200, but unfortunately it died shortly after!

Who says weird noises can't be useful musically?

The difference between noise and music is ALL in YOUR (closed-minded) head.

hi, are you resolved the problem of the drum muting of the TR505 when triggering the corresponding sound ?

bye

I have a Synsonics drum for sale if anyone is interested. I would not even begin to understand how to mod it. But for someone who wants to dabble in that stuff ... it's for sale.

Good stuff. Thanks for the video.

This kicks ass, I cant wait to get my synsonic drums modded... do you know of any place online that has info? tonal mods, midi , etc?

[Jing0j0nes]

Great stuff!

Nice hook up. i've yet to try the trigger mods but even without them the 505 is a good machine to mod. i've got a real beat up 505 here i've yet to crack open but from looking at what you've done here i reckon it's gonna' be making some yamaha dd6, 7 and 8's it's bitches very soon :)

VERRRY Kool! Seems like this might ACtually be useful musically.. unlike a lot of the circuit bending guys, who seem to be more into making weird noises. Must have taken quite a while to do this, from the looks of the # of switches on the top.
