MIDI-controlled circuit bending interface

Music Technology

Daniel Park describes his approach to controlling circuit bent Alesisร‚ย QSR Quadrasynth through MIDI data, simplifying control for musicians –

With thisร‚ย designร‚ย I wanted the entire bent interface underร‚ย MIDI control. Any MIDI source:ร‚ย MIDI ccรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs, program changes, tempo synch,ร‚ย MIDI machine commands, notation can be routed to any destination on the circuit bent interface via sysex programming.

The circuit bent interface features two patch bays on a bank of rotary switches. One patch bay is 10 points dedicated to the effects processor bends while the other patch bayร‚ย  is 24 points dedicated to the oscillator bends.ร‚ย  With rotaries you can get creative and efficient. No more massive amounts of drilling for point to point patch bays.
