Hello.
It's called Output ,no Input.
I have same plans, but no time ...
here are few links:

It's your first bend?
anyway If you want output, connect 2 cables from audio jack to those 2 cables connected to speaker inside PT100 (Ground to - , Signal to +)
In this case internal speaker will play everytime (if you connect or disconnect PT 100 to amp).

Or you can desolder + cable from internal speaker, connect it to audio jack Signal (with some kind of switch mechanism, I don't know, how it's called in english), second wire from audio Jack signal to internal speaker + (so when there's no jack male in this audio jack female, this 2 contacts are connected together, when you insert jack male, these contacts disconnect and causes no signal to internal speaker + ) and connect third cable from audio Jack ground to PT100 speaker - .

I'm bending up a PT-100 right now. I've only just joined this forum, am I allowed to post pictures and stuff? So far, I've installed an LTC1799 oscillator for the pitch, and found three resistors which overdrive the drums and lead sounds when replaced with 50k pots (linear).

Let me know if you want pictures and wiring diagrams, will be happy to provide.

how about not ruining perfectly fine instruments so you can make self-indulgent sub-par merzbow rip-off "music" which people (edit: you) like solely for the 5 year old myspacecore aesthetic

How can a man say something like that in a CHIPmusic forum with a duck as his avatar?

I don't like circuit bending noise and glithes.
I just want to improve my instrument's possibilities.
