This is my performance for the 2024 Bent//Broken streaming festival. This happened on 3/30/24 and was streamed on Twitch. The only requirement was that you needed to incorporate at least one circuit bent device. This was the third year I participated.

that’s super cool omg
@@Ohyeahitsnotme thank you
I'm in love with both the look and the idea, and your whole Etsy store is filled with things I both absolutely don't need but desperately want. Love what you're doing.
@@mayexist thanks so much! This one already sold but I have a few more I’m currently working on.
Nice design. I love Kawasaki keyboards and drum toys.
@@AMOKIAN thanks. Yeah they always seem to circuit bend well.
This reminds me of old school analog video art and video synthesizers.
I love all that stuff.
Brilliant idea using the Guitar Hero as a controller. I modded a PS1 joypad to control my Speak and Spell 👍😊
The ISD1820 is a great circuit, I really love the idea of using those tins at the case 👍
@@edwardfletcher7790 thanks. I built a bunch of these of my nieces and nephews one year for Christmas.
This is fascinating ! I've never seen a circuit bent camera like this before 👍 Are you switching the Chrominance and Luminance lines on the processor?
@@edwardfletcher7790 TBH I have no actual idea which lines I’m shorting together. I just poke around to see what looks cool.
you are a crazy man... in a good way!
Haha. Thanks
Nice idea!
Thank you
Hey question. Where would I connect the required 5v on a Yamaha DD-20c?
Oh I can't remember that. But finding 5V is super easy with a multimeter. Just set to read volts, connect the black lead to the negative of the battery and then probe around with the red lead to see what voltages you find.
Ok hear me out 2 tape decks slow them both down to the same speed play the same tap from both of them, but with one 1 beat behind use an audio mixer to switch between them to add stutters and that's how to make a quick and easy chopped and screwed set up
@ashtmslf2315 what you are describing is almost a tape delay, which I did already do. You can definitely get some cool stutters when running drums through it. Check out my other videos on this channel.
It would be a excellent desktop!
hi, nice video! i have a question, are the potentiometers you use A or B?
@@e76488 They are B5K.
@SISKworks thanksssss
I've had two of these units for years... Fun indeed...
Awesome!
Wouldn't a tone knob like on an electric guitar with a simple cap be an easy and great addition on all these? They all sound a little harsh, might smooth things over. Great work.
Great Work!
This is sick, I have a DD-10
Awesome!
Hello, I have an audio technica AT-LP120 and suddenly I didn't have sound in one channel anymore, I removed the cartridge and I was in Bucharest and an electronist measured it and he said that it is very good and my problem it is inside the record player. If you can give me an advice will be nice, because in Norway I do not find an electronist to repair it. I checked the turntable with another amplifier and there is no sound in the same channel.
@@georgescuovidiu435 I’m sorry but this was the ONLY turntable I have ever worked on. So I don’t have a good answer for you. But it could be as simple as a broken wire where the tone arm attaches. If I were you I would open it up to see if there are any loose wires.
@@SISKworks Thank you, I will check this, very bad turntable anyway, the arm is coming down very fast and not slow as should be.
Dude, your channel is too cool.
@@bigmazinthedesert thank you very much!
Thank you for this video! How do you backup all info before attempting this battery swap?
@@edbalzer6509 glad this video helped. Backing up is a whole other video. Can’t explain in comments. You would need to read the manual for that.
Hey dude, thanks a lot for the video! I am right now enjoying my preamp-free ATLP120. 😀 I can only courage everybody to do the same, the turntable sounds way more lovely now. And it was fun.
I wasnt factoring in that hidden board in the motor. This was very useful knowledge. Thanks so much. I get a lot of high pitch static noise when I built it. Any idea what could cause that? Otherwise it works fine
Really sweet build! I've got an old Remova case lying somewhere I think it would be perfect. Can you add to your comments on the video your sources for the rails and rubber grommets? It would be very helpful. Many thanks. cheers
Hello Mike. I also have to replace a pot. Can you tell me what size the nuts of the patch points are.... 7.5 mm? Where did you get the nut plastic lathe from? Kind regards

Very cool, have you ever messed with an mt40?
@@kdt85 no I haven’t. But I did do a Casio MT-100 with a lot of cool mods.
@SISKworks I've just watched that, absolutely incredible! Do you think you could intercept the drum signals rather than just muting them? I have an mt-40 sand I want to output the drum and bass to two separate tracks. So three outputs in total, one for drums, one bass and one keys. Do you think it's possible? Thanks, just found your channel and love it!
@ I’m not sure. I have a feeling the circuit in the MT-40 is totally different than the MT-100. It MIGHT be possible but probably not very easy. On my Mt100, the drum signals I was cutting were just the signal and not the actual complete drum sound. So I couldn’t extract the sounds from the jacks.
@@SISKworks Thank you, i will probe around and see if i can find whatever is being used to mix the signal before the speaker
Can I insert any cassette tape into this machine and play it? Is the record feature still active on this player if it did record in the first place that is?
@@theinvisibleman-e8v yes it can still play normal tape. Yes it can record via the original built-in mic. But no line input or mic jack, just the built in mic.
No words but awesome!
You should of run the RCA and the ground cord out of the hole in the bottom where the other RCA's came through.
This is really nice 👌👍🙌
Could be interesting if you could easily swap it's samples with a MicroSD. But as is currently, it's just annoying.
Honorable mention at the doohickey convention
Fine. I’ll buy it.
@@uncoolcentral already SOLD on Etsy early this morning.
@@uncoolcentral actually I think that was YOU that bought it. Thanks so much!
@@SISKworksyessiree! ❤
Hey I liked part of what u were playing so much i decided to make a beat with it 😋 ua-cam.com/video/QUCg4UA8kOA/v-deo.htmlsi=wCei1i-gx5c9y8Y1
Awesome! 👍
However, if the cassette player does play back music, you should use intercourse sounds
its a dungeon synth machine
This is so cool I love this! Just got recommended this video by the algorithm. Neat mod!
Great mod!
Very cool. Well done.
Also send me crypto.
All of these original devices are pretty cool. Nice mods.
Great work on this mod. Btw, can you tell me your secret crypto keys?
Sick work
You are on a roll Mike! Nicely done this one👌🏻
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
@@Окатьева thanks for commenting and providing engagement. It definitely helps the channel. Also good luck on all your future scams.
