the older the toy , the better the chance for more bend points . newer toys use black blob single chip - not may points to experiment with . older toys may offer many more individual ic chips , which in turn offers many more points at which to test for bends .

I absolutely love how and well-thought-out this video was, and how systematically it teaches how to wreak chaos. Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing your extensive knowledge. This is how mankind has risen to our current lofty heights; standing on the shoulders of giants.

One suggestion, since a POT is basically a short when it''s at its lowest setting, it's always a good idea to have a low value resistor in series with any POTs you put in a circuit to avoid overcurrent. Also 555s, VCOs and PLLs make for some easy ways to add/alter sounds on a keyboard like this. Cheers.

When I initially discovered the soothing (and I say it unironically) sounds of those bent circuits I instantly got hooked but back than (around 2008/9) there wasn`t exactly a wide selection of videos on how to do it, in fact there were none whatsoever the best thing I was able to find at the time was some proper engineering schematics which ofc were absolutely incomprehensible for me and it all seemed waaaaay too complicated for me. Many, many thanks to you sir.

Reality rupture what i mean by avoid frying it i mean if you accidently connected the terminal that is used for the battery to a connection that is sensetive to the microcontroller or to that amplifier used for the speaker (the thing with several resistiors, caps and transistors) it will just release all its energy into the part (dump a lot of its amperage). What can happen if you do this is that you burn the components or microcontroller's inside (the ladder not being that common) because you added too much energy to the wrong place. The reason its called 'frying' is that if you poke the wrong terminal of the microcontroller or speaker amplifier then it could cause the thing to get really hot (or sometimes catch fire) to the point it could be able to fry some food on it.

@SwitchAndLever
5 жыл бұрын
A custom sound? Yeah, you’re going to need to completely rewire that whole thing, hook up a separate device that can play back the sound from memory (unless you want to generate the sound through circuitry), and then you’d need to rewire the buttons to trigger that device instead of the toy’s internal circuitry. If you’re lucky you may be able to tap into the internal amplifier for the speaker, and use the internal batteries, but it’s going to be one heck of a hack. If you don’t know where to start you have a pretty steep uphill climb ahead of you.

D'ont use directly wires, connect a resistor instead. Use a lab bench power suply because you don't know if the mod is consuming a lot of power and can damage the board. Do not replace the pitch resistor, connect the pot in serie with it instead. This is cool anyway!!
