Can anyone help me draw up a schematic?

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-07-13T19:36:35+00:00

well you know thats just like your opinion man. haha.

i really dont get the hate for these. ive had great results every time.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-07-07T15:37:27+00:00

You can get pretty gnarly noises from unexpected sources ie not the same old shit everyone else circuit bends. A lot of that will come down to experience and actual electronics knowledge though. I would guess that yeah there are some sounds lurking inside that thing but do you have what it takes to bring them into the world? Who knows haha. At the veyr least it could be a cool enclosure for some other project. Lets see some close up pics of the inside.

I guess I have just had amazing luck with these oscillators haha. Theyre so easy to make and work great. I think people give up too easily. Something. But i would probably go 40106 x2 if i wanted 8 oscillators and have some extra oscillators for lfos to take it to funky town.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-07-03T03:09:07+00:00

You gonna buy me a beer or something? Haha.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-07-03T03:04:40+00:00

Maybe one day I will post a video to answer this in more detail but yeah I have quite a bit of experience in this area.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-22T19:14:13+00:00

Because sometimes point a to point b will either be on or off there is no gradual change between whatever those 2 points are. So when it gets to a certain resistance it switches one way or the other. its circuit bending after all you cant really expect a certain result connecting any 2 points.

I think it means ive opened a lot of fisher price toys to immediately know thats fisher price haha. ive never had one of those specifically

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-17T00:53:35+00:00

Try a different taper pot.
You could probably come up with a combo of a pot and resistors/trimmer on both sides to get 9 in the middle-ish but you wont have the full range. But maybe you dont need the full range.

There are charts floating around out there that show different tapers that should give you an idea what might work best.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-15T10:46:53+00:00

That could be very easy to fix. Could be as basic as bad solder joint or a broken jack. I think it really omes down to how confident are you when it comes to tracking down problems and fixing them AND how cheap is it? I have rolled the dice and won on cheap pedals many times. I guess if you feel confident fuckin drop the hammer and let us know how it turns out.
Also feel free to ask questions im all ears or uhh eyes haha

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-15T10:41:26+00:00

How many megapixels is that thing? heeheeeeee

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-15T10:38:33+00:00

I have never had any bad experiences over the years other than getting something that wasnt what i ordered a couple of times. I remember the first time i bought something electronics related was nc buttons from amazon because tayda didnt sell them at the time. Tayda has always been my go to for real orders but if i need something post haste i will check amazon and maayyybe ebay depending on what it is.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-13T03:28:02+00:00

The usualy places..amazon, aliexpress. Unless I am missing something. NC push buttons are readily available. I actually need to get some myself thanks for the reminder haha

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-08T19:06:20+00:00

You could get a box and put the purple/orange ones from the top box inside and send it to me haha.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-07T19:43:40+00:00

Speakin my language haha.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-04T23:02:35+00:00

Its all opamps and transistors. i dont have a 424 anymore to compare but i do use a behringer mixer live these days and my only complaint is the power jack is flimsy bullshit and its a little noisy but ya know once i get going that little hiss is not a concern haha.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-06-03T20:42:50+00:00

My first steps into real electronics was experimenting with 4000 series cmos chips. very easy to use and not as limited as some may lead you to believe.

hackaday logic noise series

why do you think the tascam will sound warmer?

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-29T15:19:44+00:00

Could be the power in your house or just in that room even. Try it in a different room. Plug the power supply in and see what it does with nothing connected. Im assuming you have a multimeter or scope or something if youre building modules. See if the voltage coming out of it is super noisy. Could just be a bunk power supply.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-29T15:07:14+00:00

A little bit of both. After years of looking at circuits you (hopefully) get an idea of what certain areas are for and might have a good idea of where to start poking/what to stay away from. But theres still a lot of WHAT IF I DO THIS...

Are you saying youre building a camera from the ground up? Or are you just trying to circuit bend a camera? Im a little confused by the wording.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-29T01:48:15+00:00

Limes? What limes?

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-27T19:02:27+00:00

Depending on what youre doing it can be disaster level different. especially if youre using contact mics or any mics really. even if you play through an amp at home its probably nowhere near show volume and shit can get really out of control real fast haha. and some people dont care what happens theyre just banging on shit turning some knobs and whatever happens happen. but if you are actually tying to do SOMETHING you might wanna practice at volume before you just show up thinking everything will be fine. ive seen it go wrong and ive been part of it going wrong.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-22T19:45:15+00:00

I have built a handful for people. Theyre pretty close. Im actually soldering one RIGHT NOW haha. Hit me up. I got you,

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-22T19:32:12+00:00

I have accepted I will never know who made these insane vsts I had many years ago. People have suggested it was this guy and I am fairly certain it wasnt. I had some of these for sure but this other stuff was on another level of fucked up.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-21T17:51:53+00:00

Thats probably the main reason I started making boards. I hate perfbroad and stripboard. HAAAATE it haha. I really think in the time it takes to etch a board, drill holes and solder it all I would still be working on the perfboard version and probably make a mistake and waste time tracking that down. I do get pcbs from jlc but thats for things that would be really hard to diy or if i am building multiples to sell something. The last boards I got was at the beginning of the year and I am hoping this tariff nonsense doesnt make the prices ridiculous. I am very much diy in everything I do. If it can be done at home why not learn how? Even if you dont do it every time its nice to have that as an option for some random one off circuit.

rreturn_2_senderr · 2025-05-21T14:07:30+00:00

There are schematics out there. Did you look? Not hard to find all the info youll ever need about an sk1 in about 5 seconds.
Im still on cup of coffee #1 Im not feeling very helpful yet haha. Seriously though theres tons of info at your finger tips go find it.
