It was bound to happen – Michael Una demos his circuit-bent Bliptronic 5000:
I used a Getlofi Precision timer kit to replace the internal crystal clock, which results in some nice pitch bends- the sounds are samples played off a digital ROM chip.
I also found a nice bend point on the audio IC that results in a harmonic drone.
Also, I’m using a HighlyLiquid MD24 kit to send sync pulses to the Bliptronic from Ableton Live, which keeps it in lockstep with some programmed drums.
Anyone else do any Bliptronic 5000 mods?
Compared with the raucous squawking noises made by most circuit-bent stuff – the nastier the sound, the longer the video, usually – this sounds really NICE.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't even found out how to break into mine yet – but I'm keeping an eye and ear open to see what others achieve. I see that there is a topic opened up at electro-music.com, and the designer appears to be lending his support. Go Bliptrons!

Check this out! Blip to monome conversion! So excited!

Yes – the Bliptronome looks very interesting.
We posted a Bliptronome mention a couple days ago, too.

Can anyone tell me what the original frequency of the X1 crystal in the bliptronic 5000? I took mine out years ago and lost it. Never completed the hack now I want to put it back together. I couldn’t get an outboard clock working for some reason.
