Circuit-bent sounds
Sound files from circuit-bent instruments, sliced and diced for your sampler.
All files are in AIF format and compressed into ZIP archives. You’re free to use them however you like, but I’d appreciate hearing the results.

Casio SA-35
The Casio SA-35 is a digital sampling keyboard, so bending opportunities are limited. These files mostly come from direct digital bends carried out by short-circuiting the sound chip and then slicing up the results.
Tones
31 tonal (and atonal) hits and sequences
Mashed loops
12 degraded digital lock grooves
Mashed clips
37 slices of bubble and squeak
Drum hits
13 single hits chopped from the SA-35’s built-in rhythm accompaniment.
