The Bendinator 7

It's been months since my last Circuit bent project, but here is the Bendinator 7. This keyboard features:

Pitch Control A Control
Pitch Control B Control
Pitch Mode Switch
Light Dependant Resistor (LDR)
LDR Switch
1/4" Jack Output

Pitch modes are activated by switching away from the desired control, centre position is off. One pitch mode is more glitchy than the other.

The keyboard has a built in echo effect which works well with the guitar effect, when pitched really low.

Here are some pics

Bendinator 1.3 Circuit bent My Music Maker Toy

It's been quite a while since I bent anything, but a free friday night last week allowed me to get back into it and I produced a Bendinator 1.3. This keyboard I got on ebay for a few pounds and was exactly the same as the Bendinator 1.2, a My music maker toy keyboard. The bends are quite different on this one though. I opted for body contacts instead of an LDR, and didn't bother with a sustain switch as one of the pitch modes gives extra sustain anyway.

The keyboard features :

- On/Off switch

- Jack Output

- LED Sound Indicator

- Pitch/Glitch Control

- Mode Switch controls whether Pitch/Glitch Knob is off or acting as Pitch control, or glitch control. (This is a 3 way switch. Centre is off, right is glitch mode, left is pitch mode)

- 2 Body Contacts for pitch. Holding both affects pitch, holding bottom one effects the sound.
