It’s the Super Circuit Bending Super Show! In this series, I teach you how to Circuit Bend by showing projects and builds in full. Since I cover everything step-by-step, it’s great for beginners or experienced benders/makers looking for their next project! The goal is to make circuit bending and hobby electronics more accessible by demystifying electronics (as well as the techniques, processes, tools, circuits, and jargon) so you can dive right into revitalizing old stuff and building weird things!
In this Episode, I circuit bend a Meowsic Cat Keyboard, adding an LTC1799 Pitch Bend/Clock Mod and a custom LFO Circuit! In Part 1 (this video), we’ll outline the project and get our LTC1799 Clock Modder Board prepped and installed.
Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, I do my best to read them all. Otherwise, relax, chill out, and follow along! Happy Bending!
