that drill bit video!
that drill bit video!
I do like people who don't know much about it judging its value though, that's cute.
]]>Yeah, those are amazing. I think someone directed me to this before because of my square holes. Problem is just: they're really expensive and don't quite come in the sizes I need.
Besides, I am actually quite proud of how accurate I got over time with making these holes with a dremel. It's just a big problem with silver-coated instruments. They are very unforgiving...
Edited for stupid typos and afterthoughts.
I know how hard it is to make square holes. You did a great job.

edit: realised the video was slightly fckd up, so I put up the right version before the hitcount got too high...

]]>Well it's not easy to drill square holes i guess
unless you have one of these: http://youtu.be/ALiqAXiTQBg
WOW! That's clever!

]]>boddah makes the best point however(i would never bend things so precious) so i shall digress....
*edit for grammaaaaar
]]>The funny thing about selling things is the market dictates its worth. I think its pretty neat and pretty well priced, but ive always liked der warst and his projects so bias goes a long way too.
]]>You're very much allowed to do whatever you want and charge however much you want for it. I personally don't feel it's showcased properly and ends up sounding like any other circuit bent gizmo out there, but that's me.
I just think your reply was full of unnecessary attitude/sarcasm directed at a guy who has every right to tell you he finds it expensive. I used to build cigarbox guitars, and tons of people replied to me that they were too expensive when I posted them on the web. Never did I feel it was necessary to tell them how long I've been doing it, how so many people make lame wages on the planet, to go build one of their own if they're not happy, or to diss other similar products that I would feel are of lesser build/ingenuity/etc. And that's all I meant by taking it like a man, not resort to a childish reply.
My entire point was, if you want to sell it, there's ebay and tons of other sites like it. If you post on a forum, you should expect that not every reply will be from the army of supporters you seem to have, and unless they attack you, their opinions need not be replied to like you did.
As for the musicality of the piece, I agree, opinions may differ.
@ the rest
I don't feel I've been either disrespectful to him or put his talent in question. I am however allowed to post an honest opinion am I not, or is this one of those forums where different opinions are regarded as flames? Frankly. he seems to have understood what I meant about the machine / demo much better than any of you apparently has, considering his next reply.
]]>Show some respect. This is the guy who essentially invented Gameboy backlighting in 2005 using kitchen aluminum foil and plastic from a CD case. Before we all got used to using premade backlight panels.
dar Warst is the fucking king. I must bow down to him! *Proceeds to bow down*
]]>Lovely.
How exactly did I respond with bad attitude? I just explained how I came up with the price. With a bit of sarcasm. I must say I can't really see how that makes me less of a man.
If what I'm doing in the video looks and sounds random to you, fair enough. It actually wasn't the best setting for showing all the possibilities including the touchpad, which doesn't work that well with the bends in all the programs. I noticed that later, too and I'm a bit annoyed by that myself. The problem is that I had to give the camera back to the person I borrowed it from and then that was all I had. Thanks for pointing it out, though. I quite appreciate being shown flaws in the presentation. Maybe I'm gonna do another one...
Then again, I've finished it about three weeks ago. That's not very much time to learn to play an instrument properly. Also, this is mostly how I make music, but whatever generic glitchery you or I might or might not consider musical is probably a whole different discussion.
