Hey,

i’m a complete newbie to circuitbending. i’ve done some research on the web already and found some interesting stuff, but no schematics.

How is your project going, I love to hear some samples!
Next week i’ll own a tr 505 and start bending….

I was hoping you could provide me the overlay of the tr505 circuitry(the fulll image click is not working) this would really help me…
Thx…

Just updated the pic URL. thanks for pointing that out

I did bend it but not permanantly. just shorting some of the points with a bit of wire (you should use wire and a resistor as well though but i didn’t know that then…. didn’t blow it up though

i didn’t sample it either. i’ll have to do it again some time.

I modded it with a phono socket though so i can plug in a normal sustain pedal and use that as a kick pedal. that was fun.

i got an MPC1000 soon after though so the 505 went by the wayside a bit.

if you have a distortion pedal, be sure to play the 505 through that. sounds nice

thanks for updating the pic!

I never owned a tr505 before but I heard the samples..pritty boring., distorting it and modding it is almost necessary…

are you sure you have to use a resistor on every wire or is it just handy when searching for bends (not frying something)

I’m a newbee to electronics so This is a real challenge for me

In the future I’ll defenitely try the mpc1000 for unlimited drum sounds…seems the perfect drum sampler to me… but for now I’m happy with an er1,tr606 and dr550mk2

Yeah. 505 is pretty shit if you don’t mod/add effects.

resistor is handy when testing bends, yep. not sure if you use them in the final bend though. i doubt it. check elsewhere for that info. i have not done much either.

mpc is cool. your setup is nice too. learn that first
