Cyclic v.2.0 now available for Windows!

A snapshot of Cyclic Mac OS X

Cyclic is now in beta for Windows XP and can be downloaded from the Download page on this site. There is one bug and one feature unavailable at the moment, apparently you need to right-click on the application and open it as administrator. The reverb mix effect currently isn’t available on Windows and I’m afraid it may be some time before I am able to fix this as I don’t have a Windows machine to work on. Please report any further bugs on this thread and I will do my best to help!

Circuit Bent PSS-790

I thought I’d share some of my Summer projects, I have some more posts to come but I’m fairly busy at the moment! Sorry for being so slack with keeping this site up to date!

I have got much more into electronics hacking and circuit bending over Summer and have been doing little on the software side. This post is showing some of my bending works:

The PSS-790 is my favorite work to date, it sounds incredible!

My most recent work is a Yamaha DJX2B, it’s a gimicky groovebox and the beats sound outdated at best, I’ve added 18 switches and it know kicks out Aphex Twin style acid-glitch!

I also recently worked on a PSS-31 I found a chip inside that seemed to control a lot of the sound sample playback and this creates some interesting glitches and drones:

And last but not least, the PSS-140 was fun to bend, I attempted some previously documented mods know as the ‘Dataline Mods’ where you cut the datalines between the brain chip and the sound chip on the circuit board, I also added some mods of my own:

Again apologies for my slackness in updates, to make it up to you I have a special treat for windows users that I will be posting up here in a short while!
