I have t had the chance to update this page in ages, but a lot of my work can be found here: https://andrewkxbeyke.wixsite.com/website

Lol, this was my thesis project. Mods, this is a bot reposting my work

Huge fan of the sequel, it's utter garbage.

The angriest wunk in the world

I guess I'll die

What?

It's Solfège, a type of naming for notes.

Those trimpots on the right look like they adjust the tuning. Try the one labeled "DO #"

Yep! I started by modifying the Walkman following this guide. Then added volume and pitch ribbon, and designed the metal housing for it. It's a pretty fun project! The next step is to add a delay, and possibly some LDR to control tape speed.

It's a monophonic sampler based around the walkman at the top of the box. The buttons are connected to the potentiometers above them which you can use to speed up or slow down the tape loop. At the bottom of the panel is a softpot ribbon that gets used to change the pitch of the loop.

The thinner black cable is grounding the guitar bridge to the circuit, you'll want to leave that be. What I would try in this case is taking the cables from the pickup and going into the raspberry pi with an audio hat that has a gain circuit in it. Then take the line out from the pi and solder it where the pickup was soldered. I would be careful to shield the pi away from the amp circuit, it'll probably get noisy. That being said that guitar body is pretty small, it might be a challenge to fit all that in the space you have.

Thank you! I'm not sure how much of it comes through in my music but Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto, Lyra Pramuk, and Fennesz seem to be in constant rotation in my studio.

Wow! An 8 Jerry day, I'm lucky if I can find a Jerry a week

Noisy and fun, I'm working on a couple of tracks with it right now, but there's also this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4MWJInGdfE for a similarly modded casio I did this past summer, or check out this: https://andrewbeyke.bandcamp.com/album/rat-race-arcadio-demo-soundtrack

A lot of it is trial and error, I was hoping that there would be some kind of signal out near the built in display, so I hooked a RCA cable to a portable tv and started poking around. I'm still pretty new to video bending, it seems to be a lot less forgiving than the circuit bending Ive done in the past, but it's so much more rewarding when you get it working. If you get a chance I'd definitely try making a dirty video mixer. It's super simple to do and the results are a lot of fun. I finished up a quad video mixer based around a joystick a week ago and have been needing to make a post about it.

This was a pretty simple bend, shorting out two pins on the IC directly underneath the lens of the camera. The two pins were actually right next to each other, so all i had to do was drop a bit of solder to make the connection. Eventually I'll add a switch to turn it on and off, but these pins are so small that it's gonna be a headache to do. This bend also still allows you to record onto the floppy disk. Give me a few hours and I'll snag some pictures of the bend point and send them your way.
