i shall be circuit bending a seal! (cheers phil!)
no seals were hurt/damaged during the making of this clip… and before i get any comments about animal cruelty, i wouldn’t even get it past customs shoved down my pants in the first place, unfortunately. ;O)
although i am intriegued as to what the fuck they do with the blow torch in the dying seconds of the clip!
I’ve added a couple of samples to the HR-16 page to demonstrate what these things are capable of….. its techno in a box! Used as part of a larger set up, or standalone, the HR-16 is a fantastic machine for bending, as the results are phenomenal!
I might put this one up for sale, as i’ve not really got the need for three of these machines, i just like bending them!
These drums machines are great for bending, so many options for control surfaces and bend connections. This time i used a 28 way patch bay to control the bends, and 6 patchable switches to make connections on the fly. Along the bottom of the patch bay is a row of 6 sockets for making multiple connections between bends.
I installed a few LED’s in this for fun, they only indicate if a switch is on or off, not react to the drum patterns.
Purchased a load of parts from Farnell last weekend for the envelope follower and VGA experiments, along with some switches and PCB equipment from Rapid. The stuff from Rapid came on Monday,but because of the postal strikes up here, the parts i actually need for the circuit from Farnell, are sitting in some sorting office somewhere doing nothing.
On top of that, its been a generally crap week all in all.
Still, at least i managed to finish the HR-16 with the parts from Rapid.
