Circuit Bent Furby

MS-20/Furby

Circuit Bent Furby.

Added 9 points to make the Furby glitch and loop.
The goal was to use the Korg MS-20 to interact with the Furby.

The points on the Furby can be connected using a small circuit which is controlled by external pulses.
The MS-20 LFO is used to trigger the loop and/or the glitches on the Furby, so you get kind of random tones and glitches at the rate of the LFO.
The belly push-button on the Furby is routed to the push-button on the MS-20 so you can excite the Furby from the MS-20. Then, the audio output from the Furby is inserted into the MS-20 ESP and can be used to trigger the Envelopes, controlling the VCOs frequency, etc…

We are quite happy with the result even that sometimes, after connecting many glitches, the Furby goes mad and doesn’t want to respond correctly again until you let it rest for a while.
It was all done in a day so it surely can be improved after some more testing.

Already used this on the 3rd microBCN showcase, 02-March-2008.
