Casio PT-100 Gets a Makeover at the Circuit Bending Workshop

Dan Demchuk hosts our continuing series on the art of anti-theory and circuit bending. Circuit Bending is the growingly popular craft of taking apart battery-powered electronics and subverting their original purpose. In this series, Dan and Bill Holland explore how to take circuit bending and apply it to a live music act.

In this segment, Allison Lake shows off her newfound Casio PT-100. This first section with the Casio takes a look at finding the basic time-bends in the device and marking them.

Stay tuned to Gearwire.com for more circuit bending tips with Dan Demchuk.

the basics

By: bholland
With this one, I'm mainly trying to show what the casio sounds like when bent. These are the nuts and bolts basics of what you need. The next group coming down the line is going to include more in depth info on creating more complicated bends. I am also talking to a guy who is building a 303 from scratch, so it's going to delve deeper soon. When I came in, there was nothing on the site about it, so I am trying to build a library, essentially, of videos from square one on circuit bending. Don't worry, it's going to get more advanced soon.

I'm not so much worked up, as I want viewers to understand what we're planning. This is a growing site, and I like to field comments and try to address problems with content so we can all improve the site.
