Remember TamTam? (click to check out the video) TamTam is a music suite similar to GarageBand for the OLPC XO. OLPC or One Laptop Per Child is a nonprofit organization that is trying to get laptops in the hands of children across the world, who could not afford one otherwise. You can read more about the program on the OLPC website. They are currently offering a buy one get one free up until Dec 31st, so if you are curious you can buy one for yourself and one will be sent out to a child.What's interesting to synthheads is it will also feature a modular synth program called SynthLab. Think Native Instruments Reactor, the original Seer Systems Reality and other module based software synthesizers where you connect various components to create sound. SynthLab is "designed for older children who are ready to venture into more sophisticated sound design, SynthLab is a mini-lab for acoustic- and electronic-circuit construction." Pretty cool.
