Circuit Benders Corner

I figured I would start a Circuit Benders Thread!

Feel free to share your Circuit Bent goodies and gadgets!

Here is the start to a hopefully fun adventure, the Casio SK-1!

My SK-1 currently has an LTC1799 installed along with front mounted A, B, & C Jumpers (/1, /10, /100) and 2x switchable Video Out!

I plan to follow the RG concept and utilize Image, Axis, and Skew, along with an Audition and Hold set up.
I have a few other ideas that will kind of stray away from the old SK-1 CONCERTODRONE unit.
Excited to get this on the bench!

I hear the drums just by looking.

Update on my SK-1 Build.

Panel is coming along, some specific parts are on order!

Here is the current panel, and on the back, it shows some spots that are just not drilled out yet, was in the process of planning what goes where lol.

This is definitely a fun build!

Got a little bit more done to the Panel before work today!

Nice color coding, what kind of jack sockets are those?

Banana Jacks

[Caustic]

I cant explain it but banana jacks always weird me out.

[d42kn355]

Me too. This is my first venture with em!

Made a visual guide for SK-1 Channel Separation.

Added the connection port that will run between the SK-1 and it’s Modular counterpart.

Casio update - slowly but surely getting this thing done.

Taking my time because I’m in over my head BAHAHAHAHA.

But no seriously, I want it to be nice.
The port for the connection between the box and the Casio didn’t turn out as straight as I wanted, but here is how she looks!

Got the Case all Stained and figured out where the Power Supply will fit (bus board and transformer are not mounted yet)

And a little preview of what it will look like…
(Lol, need to order the UMR2 and another midi jack)

[Caustic]

Damn, that thing is shaping up wonderfully.

It looks fabulous. Did I miss the post describing what it does?

I started with the circuit bending before embarking on the big and interminable modular diy adventure
if you like it there are full and still full on my site

Here’s an elementary article on pitch resistor bending:
