Circuit Bending, But Make It MIDI

A maker called Simon the Magpie built a device called MIDI TO RESISTANCE that bridges MIDI controllers with circuit-bent instruments. By placing a digital potentiometer in line with circuit bent connections, the device translates MIDI input into variable resistance, allowing a MIDI keyboard to control pitch bends on circuit-bent toys and instruments. The result makes chaotic circuit-bent sounds more musically playable and controllable.
