I really like the little bell super far in the back.  the musical feel at 1:13 is quite beautiful.

how'd you make this?

Thanks heaps orangedrink. smile

I'm circuit bending a Yamaha PSS-102 children's keyboard which is what I've used for most of my weekly beats this year. I recorded 2-3 minutes of improvisation, spent a bit of time cutting the recording up, panning and layering clips, plus compressor plus reverb. That's basically it hey!

if you have the time to take a picture, i'd love to see it!  have you set up knobs and stuff or are you messing with the internals as you go?

also I apologize if I have asked this question before, I feel like I have, now that I'm reading your answer again smile

Wonderful as always.

No worries, it's heaps cool that you're interested! Here's the *extremely technical* setup.

In the future I'd like to put the keyboard back together and wire the bend points and stuff up to a breakout box. I got some D-sub connectors and stuff for this project but haven't done anything with it yet. The design of the original keyboard is too cute to sacrifice.

Take 2, wish this site had the bbcode preview hey.

wow, really wild - are you able to rig a line out or is everything just from the speaker, live?

and that microphone works?

I'm good with computers! Maybe this forum does not like my photo for some reason.

Here is a link to the photo, in plain text: http://bur.st/~sambruce/images/yamaha_PSS-102_bending.jpg


Yeah, it has a headphone jack. The microphone does work so sometimes I use that for feedback or other noises.
