Circuit + Ableton live

Ableton Live is a loop-based software music sequencer and DAW for Mac OS and Windows by Ableton. The latest major release of Live, Version 8, was released in April 2009. In contrast to many other software sequencers, Live is designed to be an instrument for live performances as well as a tool for composing and arranging. It is also used for mixing of tracks by DJs, as it offers a suite of controls for beatmatching, crossfading, and other effects used by turntablists, and was one of the first music applications to automatically beat match songs. It does not support traditional musical notation.

I connected the circuit to computer with 3.5mm plug.
The input sound can be played in Ableton live, I played around with the circuit and sample effects. I used Ambient effects in this video, it distorts the sound.

Circuit bending experimental

Circuit Bending
_
Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of electronic devices such as low voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children's toys and small digital synthesizers to create new musical or visual instruments and sound generators.

Emphasizing spontaneity and randomness, the techniques of circuit bending have been commonly associated with noise music, though many more conventional contemporary musicians and musical groups have been known to experiment with "bent" instruments. Circuit bending usually involves dismantling the machine and adding components such as switches and potentiometers that alter the circuit.

I tried two different kit.

mini organ + potentiometor

I bent the mini organ sound with potentionmetor. It changes the sound tones.

mini siren + potentiometor + 2 tone generator

I tried additional experimental with 2 tone signal generator. It also bent the tones and signal.
