Midiwidget syncs Bent Beats

An experiment using my Midiwidget to trigger and sync bent gear, made entirely with circuit bent gear.

For the percussive elements I used a circuit bent Tr505 and Hot Music drum toy. The Midiwidget also triggers a home made Lo-fi sampler which is CV controlled through a Belcat analog delay with a Doepfer A101.9 Universal Vactrol Module.

Square wave broken chords from a Gameboy runnning LSDJ.

Reverb is from ehx holy grail.

Only 3 mins long coz thats about all my ears could stand!

Thanks for listening/looking...

The Midiwidget with 8x RCA cables running out to various devices.

Circuit Bent Toys rehoused in black boxes and the Belcat Delay. 

The bent Tr505. The Midiwidget turns on and off bends between points on its ROM chip.

The Hot Music drum toy which I had to re-house to fit all the connections I wanted. It features dirty kick, snare and ride samples with lots of aliasing...

Midiwidget (still!) in Progress

I still haven't finished my midiwidget build, mainly because I've been using it so much in my music, but here's how it's looking at the moment...

I decided to go for a sandwich type enclosure so the USB connection is easily accessible.

The 3.5 jacks are 8xgate outs for my eurorack. The rca's are coto reed switches which I  use for triggering my circuit bent gear, although they could switch anything.

I'm still undecided what to use the remaining 8x gates for. I think I might create a split board with 4x eurorack gates and 4x solenoid triggers as I loved John's demo here and have always wanted to try making some music in this way.

I also need to wire up the midi sockets and battery power- but like I said I'm having too much fun with it right now!
