Circuit bending has always been about turning electronic devices into something they were never designed to become. A cheap keyboard can become a strange synthesizer, an old toy can produce unpredictable rhythms, and a forgotten piece of consumer electronics can become a completely new musical instrument. The appeal lies partly in the uncertainty: instead of following a fixed design, circuit benders explore what happens when the original electronic behavior is deliberately disrupted.

YouTuber Circuit Bends a Question Bible as a result of a Deadmau5 Tweet [Video]
![YouTuber Circuit Bends a Question Bible as a result of a Deadmau5 Tweet [Video]](https://circuit-bent.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/youtuber-circuit-bends-a-question-bible-as-a_1.jpg)
Earlier this year, deadmau5 tweeted concerning the Question Bible, the infamous As seen on television audio bible. Deadmau5 stated he couldn’t hold back until someone circuit bent the audio bible (circuit bending changes a hardware’s circuits to produce new sounds and instruments). Then, fans of YouTuber LOOK Mother NO COMPUTER tagged the circuit bending wizard on deadmau5’s tweet. Ends up LOOK Mother was up for that challenge.

What’s circuit bending .
Circuit bending may be the creative personalization from the circuits within electronics for example low current, battery-powered guitar effects, children’s toys and small digital synthesizers to produce new musical or visual instruments and seem generators.
Reed Ghazala – circuit bending
Circuit Bent, Casio SK-1 sampling
Cirucit bending is really a procedure for modifying electronics to create sounds they weren’t initially meant to make.
Q.Reed Ghazala created the word within the 90’s but discovered the concept within the late 60’s whenever a small transistor radio short circuited in the junk drawer making synthesizer type sounds.

Electronic musical instruments
Electronic musical instruments are a lot of fun for a hacker because, with a small palette of tools, know-how and curiosity, they are easily modified. As with any hack, there is always the chance that the subject will be ruined, so it’s not necessarily worth the risk to muck about inside your thousand-dollar pro synthesizer. Luckily for all of us, there are shovel-fulls of old electronic musical toys littering the curbs and second-hand shops of the world. These fun little devices provide ample opportunity to get familiar with audio electronics and circuit bending techniques.

The Casio SK-1 keyboard
The Casio SK-1 keyboard is rather well-known within the “circuit bending” scene, where its simple internals lend themselves to modifications and tweaks to regulate the device’s output in many interesting ways. But creating music via circuit bending the SK-1 could be tiresome, because it boils lower to twiddling with the internals blindly until it may sound awesome. [Nick Cost] wanted to behave a little more scientific, and made the decision to test replacing his SK-1’s ROM by having an Arduino so he might take complete manage it.
