Members Gribs Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 I took a Fellows shredder apart and put it back together a couple of times recently. It is all good when you can take it apart to clear a jam, but when a jam causes the cheap little plastic tabs that hold the shredding head in place to break then the only circuit-bending sound that shredder is good for is the "thunk" it makes when it hits the bottom of your garbage can. Well at least it lasted for a few years. Sometimes I just don't get design decisions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members suitandtieguy Posted September 18, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 i was looking at the snap switches on this as i was clearing a jam and thought "yeah i could wire this into the modular." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greaseenvelope Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sounds like a good way to fry your modular's inputs or yourself, although being STGGuy I suppose you know better than that. Also, I have heard using exterior modifications to small motor to create modulation tend to result in the quick death of the motor. I like Allerian's idea, but it's probably better to just sample the shredder with various kind of mics (contact and condenser) and then effect and amplify those sounds afterwords so you're not just playing the feedback once you amplify the shredding sounds to acceptable clarity. Although that has its own appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members augerinn Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well, I had a paper shredder with a busted motor, and a leftover Turbo boxer motor from a wrecked Subaru, so.... I re-wired it ! That sucker will shred phone books now ! Just keet uour hands, feet, and small children away from it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted September 18, 2009 Members Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think I'll one-up and circuit bend my old vacuum cleaner - imagine what that thing would do in different speeds and frequencies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KingVidiot Posted September 21, 2009 Members Share Posted September 21, 2009 It might sound similar to that guy doing the music with programmed image scanners and printers in sync. Very clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
