I had a bent speak and spell... which broke, an awesome effector made out of a voice changing microphone and it had a slider for pitch and was cool... that broke, and all sorts of other miscellaneous bends which all pretty much broke.  I have been working on a Merlin handheld bend and I'm pretty syked because it is comprised of SMT components and the bending seems to be going well.  I'll post pictures when its finished.

The only two I kept:

the guts of this from 1979 turned into a 2xtone drone generator with 2xtone pots, tone 1 push button and tone two on/of.




and this little one has 2 push buttons (start stop) and a contact and makes nice 'small' static noise.

I've bent a bunch of stuff but the only thing I've really bothered to record is my Yamaha DD-50. It now has 8 glitch switches and 3 pots which trigger distortion, fade in pretty pad sounds and cause random bleeping. I HIGHLY recommend the DD series as they have big sexy circuit boards with heaps of good bends on pretty much all the IC's (one of which is a YM chip of some sort).

Here are some recordings from the first bending session I had with it ages ago: http://www.myspace.com/yamahahah/music
and here are some jams with my chipnoise act, starring the DD-50: http://soundcloud.com/athrocycle-1

I've also started attempting to write tracks for it with my A1200 using octamed and an amiga midi console, this was my first attempt at this: http://soundcloud.com/skint-1/yamaha-dd … 0-midi-jam
