Suggestions about cross bending.

[Simon Vactrol]

Got a video for the PSS7


To all of you.........

A.I. Bent yamaha PSS7

[Circuitbenders]

i'm really liking the throaty high pass filter kind of distortion thats starts about 0:22 on that thing

[jamiewoody]

Fiinally have bent both.. i had some spare spray paint and i've been slightly gazalesque!!


what to do next?...just find a ground and poke around on The 4 chips?

hope someone like to help me....

these at leaat look hip....i'd love to have one in every colour!

@ Paul

To do that i've applied a Vactrol to the Distorsion feedback mod.
I dont know the reason why it produces that sound i think is something concerning the led?...it goes low power when i thist the knob..
Another strange thing is that it works only with the out from the speaker..if i plug pss7 from the out at the back it changes in regular feedback mod.

Mistery of circuit bending..at least for me! !

That might well  be something to do with grounding. Without the audio output in place the whole keyboard will be ungrounded, but as seen as you plug it in it'll be grounded via the shield connection of the cable.

mmm Paul..you've made me think and is a very good point.
i will do some experimentzz soon to see if i can make that knob into a proper bending...i mean!! if i can make it work on other Keyboards..maybe is possible.
At the moment i'm quite busy and i still have to finish My Korg DDm110...i have the bendings all organised.
Fine!! i have to organize the  project box..and then probably give a mark 2 to the DDM220
(quite for sure but maybe not!)
To finally cross bend them.or finally destroy them!!

I tried cross-bending but Mrs Gordonjcp just got annoyed and said I'd ruined her tights.

hold on a second, i'm sure i've got a comedy sting sample here somewhere! 

[Simon Vactrol]

 

Got to say something today..I agree with the definition for the DDM 110/220 "Very difficult without much reward"..i had all the bending ready mounted and i had to take all off..some combinations can erase the memory..some of those work individually and also in combination with others but after flicking switches few times..Baam!! Erased!!
Still.... the sound of those beast is beautiful !!..gonna be on the workbench for few hours again i need to complete the opera!!...

...:(Please father Xmass!!!! send me a TR-626!!!    )

[Gordonjcp]

I don't see why, they're just plain ordinary mask-ROM-based sample playback machines.

Stick to the ROM and you can't really go wrong.

[Simon Vactrol]

Done!
(gonna make a video soon )

and then cross them:

......Is Crossbending is worth it?
...i guess is a matter of taste......but?..what the risk?..mmmm???

[Simon Vactrol]

It  sounds more or less like that:

A.I. Bent Korg DDM 110

Got:
3 Switches to change soundz
2 knob for the change of patterns

[Simon Vactrol]

Conclusions:

Cross bending is not needed on those DDM ( i guess) they sound good once connected togheter via midi...
still "not so much result".. let's say not much versatile.
If you liked what i did with those pieces i wouldn't mind give you directions...post here so other can benefit.

There is a sound of them together on this video
