[sdiy] Maybe OT? Circuit Bending class!

[Quick Silver]

Its sounds cool. I think circuit bending is revitalizing electronics.  
I have performed surgery on an elderly Yamaha PSS 140 recently. I was  
amazed at the crazy sounds this FM keyboard could produce. It is a  
handy shortcut  in DIY synth work to start with something that works  
and modify it to create something new.
