QuoteI would add 555 ICs for clock bending as the simplest "advanced" bending necessity.

Can someone point me to a good tutorial for this?  It's been on my list of things to learn for nearly a year now, and I have yet to get around to it.

I've just succeeded on making one on my second attempt.

good luck it's great fun when you get the hang of it....

Thanks.  I'll give this a shot the next time I get a toy that triggers in that fashion.

I'm still a little in the woods...  Do the two ends of the vactrol go to the two points on the clock?

Hi - I have never used a 555 for clocking, I didn't read your post very well sorry  :-[

I have read that they can be used but they don't normally suffice; I have only used them for LFO's to modulate pitch, volume, pan and fx.  However I would think you would use the two ends of the vactrol, though I am not sure it would work.  Anyone done this - I obviously haven't got clue?  :-\
