Circuit-Bending Build your own alien instruments, Reed Ghazala, Wiley.
1. Preparation
- Victim circuits : mini siren, mini organ 13 tones, jingle bell, tone control,
2-tone signal generator
- Potentiometers* : 5KΩ, 50KΩ, 100KΩ, 250KΩ, 500KΩ
- basic tools for soldering
* you must connect two wires to the center and one of the outside lugs. If you don't like this, you can not change the amount of resistance. It means that you can not control the sound that potentiometer makes. This was the worst mistake I made.
