Listing to this its an interesting way to use a 56k modem here, but to me the sound its making just hurts my head and it sounds alot like the musical mistakes I make out of Audacity.
He’s selling this gear on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180083725085) so we’re not likely to see the innards any time soon.
I absolutely love all the ingenuity shown in this, and all of the other homebrew circuit bent mods out there, but I would love to see all of this cool hardware in the hands of someone who could really use it to its potential.
Oh man! When I moved last summer I had to get rid of a bunch of parts I had lying around that I thought I would never use. I swear, I had this exact same modem and I pitched it!
I don’t understand the benefit? Versus recording the sounds into a synthesizer? I mean, the old Hayes compatibles were simply controlled by character codes. That way one could feed actual words into the music. Then a WinAmp plugin could demodulate the noise and splash messages across the IPOD and ⦠somehow⦠we all get RICH!
875 bucks for this piece of shit, I just can’t take it – ROFL
@6:
But then what happens to the modem afterwards? Might as well put it to some use.
Why do this? it sounds really bad aye. i mean how can you possibly enjoy that sound at all, gives me a headache, sorry.
oh man who’s gonna pay 200$ for THAT? sure it’s a cool mod, but still this circuit bending stuff has gone out of hand.
oh it seems he became a FULL TIME CIRCUIT BENDER! oh lol
so don’t buy it? duh…. I’m sure an adequate amount of time was spent designing/constructing. Maybe not $875 worth, but it’s still pretty neat.
It’s a pity to see useful technical terms being misused, all V22 modems including V22 bis are 600 baud regardless of their data transfer rate.
I think I have a similar modem. I have a fair bit of old tech which I hope to use for something cool. This place will be amongst the first to know of course.
just when i was getting tired of all the circuit bending here and on makezine, this shiny little job comes along. Nice!
