Circuit Bending stuff (was Re: Devi Ever)

Suhweet! Thanks for the pointer, Jeff! Looks like lotsa good stuff there.

Yeah, I'm lucky that power (100-120v) usually doesn't bother me too
much, although I won't be sticking a fork into an outlet anytime
soon. I've gotten little jolts from those before and shrugged 'em
off. 240v though: I've gotten one good whack with that in my life
(from an appliance that was improperly grounded) and I *won't* be
repeating that experience. Regardless, batteries are all good.
Haven't actually bent a whole lotta things myself (mostly just
destroyed a couple of portable keyboards) but I've got a couple of
functioning bent instruments I picked up second-hand.
For one, quite a while back I found a Glitchdesk (
http://glitchdesk.com/glitchdesk/bw/ ) with a pre-configured Roland
TR-626 and Casio SK-1. The Casio is quite unstable (almost
unusable), which was a bit of a disappointment because that's the
primary reason I got the setup. However, the Roland drum-machine
more than makes up for it. I'd only pulled sounds like that out of
Reaktor previously.
And while I was away, I had a bent Boss PS-2 come in from Spunky
Toofers ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8JAxrVAcks ). Haven't had
a chance to run it through it's paces yet, though. Should be good.
