Circuit Bending 1: Testing Our Loot and Poking Around | Simon Hutchinson

- An introduction to circuit-bending old toys. Circuit-bending is the creative customization of consumer electronics with the goal of inventing new unique devices for sound-making, visuals, or other expressive goals.
In this series, I take you through my process with some toys from the start, including explorations, experiments, and, importantly, failures. In this video, I've just picked up three toys from Goodwill, a keyboard, a whack-a-mole game, and a Tinkerbell wand. I check them out, open them up, and start poking around to see what possibilities there are for alien noises.
I'm a composer and sound-designer, not an electrical engineer, so my goal is to find fun sounds that I can use in creative ways (rather than any kind of serious circuit design).

Low-key loving the comedic elements. Excellent use of a cat sound effect.
Yeah... "sound effect."...
@@SimonHutchinson LOL
Loved this, can't wait for more experiments!
Already got it recorded! No spoilers, but check back this time next week.
@@SimonHutchinson is the sound in this toys is 16 bit or 8bit sound
It’s so cool to see the inner workings like this! Thanks for putting this together (or rather taking it apart). I’m looking forward to the next steps.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm jealous of you finding clock resistors in these modern circuits. I bought a handful of toys and couldn't get anything to bend.
It gets harder and harder. This video is almost 4 years old now, and I’m not sure I’d have the same luck if I did this today. That said, keep checking Goodwill and taking a gamble on cheap stuff and you might get lucky!🍀
That's a really good point. I think I'll bring my screw driver to good will lol. But good to know i really need to just look for older toys.
Easily one of my favorite videos you've done thus far. Psyched to see what you do with this stuff. And for us newbs, explain more about what each resistor does or how a resistor even works! ;)
Thanks! Will do!
because of u I went out to buy some cheap toy, can't wait to mess w it XD
Nice video! it would be interesting to find out how sample are stored inside these circuits
Any updates on the wackamole?
Ha! No circuit-bending updates, but my kids are still playing with it. I think I've hidden it somewhere for now.
Circuit bend whack a Mole
Yeah whack a mole
