Buncha DDD-1 bends

Here are some things I've been working on.

The Beast's Retro Bent Korg DDD-1 w/pitch control PT1.

80's Circuit Bent Korg DDD-1 Tech Demo part 1

Let me know what you think!

Here's a new one. It's two bent DDD-1's. They're both modded with parts from the 80's or earlier so that anything you can touch on the mod would have been available during the time the unit was manufactured. The idea being that the bending could have happened back in the day.

I've got them midi'd up together and the non pitch modded unit is acting as master.

I cross bend the units using RCA jacks. As you get more crossbending you start to hear that the bends+ pitch control on one unit affect the sound the other is making. Effectively you can use one unit as an effects unit for another.

I'd be happy to share my technique or answer any questions, if there's anybody out there.

Very nice bend indeed. I'll have to get one of those to experiment on, too.
Thanks for posting!

how is the pitch control done?
i have been trying to figure it out, but i can't.

thanks a lot.

i'm not entirely sure on a DDD1 as i've never done it, but theres a general guide to building and installing LTC1799's on the main site:

It's the crystal below all of the socketed roms, to the left of a couple of IC's. It is pretty easy to spot.

Does it clock the whole system or just the samples?

handsgruber · May 24, 2011, 04:08:29 AM

big thanks to the beast - i found it... cool

Just the samples. Neat thing is that you can almost crash the thing if you bring the sample rate too low-but then it tries to catch up.

You get a pretty annoying high pitched wine at lower sample rates-other than that this beast is a dream to mess with-there are blank solder points connected to nearly all of the bendable points so you don't even have to take it apart completely to bend.
