Circuit bending Alesis HR-16


Circuit bending Alesis HR-16, originally uploaded by recompas.

Sick at home all week and bored to tears I've been trying keep busy doing what work I can from home, writing music, and tonight - building this.

The HR-16 is extremely easy to circuit bend if you stick to the 2 pcm sample chips. There's 25 patch points on this one, and using stackable banana cables the combinations are pretty much endless. Been meaning to bend this one to use in my set for Bent Fest 2010. Sounds samples coming soon, click the flickr set to view a few shots of its guts.
