I've talked to a couple people on various other forums who came up with some interesting things " hand-bent" , have'nt seen any posts regarding this topic here.
I'm thinking about picking up something up on Ebay and giving it a go.

Maybe a " Tickle Me Elmo " circuit bent with a 1/4" output coming outta the back of his head?

May try my hand at the Casio SK series.............................

Circuit bending seems cool but i've only seen it do destructive noisy sounds... And i do ambient :?

it does'nt do anything ambient or " pretty ", it appeals to those who like distortion.

Curcuit bending is like plugin all your cables in your studio in random jacks and hope to get something out of it :? You?ll be rambling in darkness and in worst case you?r gonna toast the curcuit. If you really want to play with curcuit bending, do it to something you already wanted to throw out or don?t care if is broken. By the way: Never leave a curcuit bend "instrument" ON and leave it on. If you are unlucky it will catch fire...

When this is said i wouldn?t mind doing it myself to some 5-10? cheap plastic toy :wink:

i dont think anyone in their right mind would try something like that on something expensive. You're not supposed to try and circuit bend anything that doesnt use batteries, for risk of fire or worse.

I think I may try it on this:

I disagree, I made this track, which I consider pretty ambient...

It's made with circuit bent gear, a radio, some cassette tapes and bits of junk.
