Bending Guide

Using This Guide
Bending Guides show specific bends that we have identified as interesting. Color-coded circles indicate separate bending points that all connect to a common point. We call this the Point of Origin (or POO) and indicate the POO with a circle marked with an “X”.

Occasionally a circle will be marked with a zigzag line . This means that we found it useful to add a potentiometer between this point and the POO.

Built from: Neurosmith Musini

Number of bends: 6

Description: Musini was designed to sense vibrations created by moving children and trigger pre-recorded music in response to the speed and intensity of those vibrations.

The Musini comes stock with 5 music styles, each with 4 instrument sections for a complete ensemble of high quality stereo sounds.

1. DPST rocker switch for voltage starve knob. Allows user to choose which power source (battery or mains) is running to the voltage starve knob.
2. Body contact. Harsh overpowering distortion with a subtle organic feel.
3. SPST toggle switch for continuous triggering. Triggers the device continually when turned on, preventing the need to trigger sounds manually.
4. SPST momentary pushbutton for triggering. Normally open momentary switch that, when closed, triggers the next phrase in the sampled series.
5. Rheostat for voltage starve. A 25 ohm Radio Shack standard rheostat for starving both battery and mains voltage down to a critical threshold.
6. SPST toggle and 1k linear potentiometer for pitch control. Toggle turns bend on and off while pot controls effect.
7. SPST toggle and 50k logarithmic potentiometer for massive overdrive. Toggle (should) turn bend on and off while pot controls effect.
8. SPST toggle for hideous distortion.
