"Your kids like making sound, so don't you think it's time they learned about it? With the GeoSafari Digital Recording Lab, they'll learn all about sound and electronics, while having fun putting together different projects - 59 in all. Your inquisitive geeklings will learn how to build:* A rhythmic sound generator
* A digital voice recorder
* An electronic parrot
* A voice alarm
* A voice changer
* And loads more!
All the components for these projects are permanently installed on the GeoSafari Digital Recording Lab; all your little ones will have to do is connect them in the proper sequence using the connection wires. The project guide will not only show them the order of the wires, but also explain how the different electronic parts (transistor, capacitor, resistor, etc) are actually working. Your kids will start with the GeoSafari Digital Recording Lab and learn so much they will quickly ease into a career designing layered sound effects for Skywalker Sound. Trust us."

PURCHASED! Found one on ebay for 40 bucks after shipping. Some modifications will be in order naturally, but it will keep my broke ass entertained for a little bit!
ReplyDeleteOn a related note, there's the dsPIC starter kit. Mono only, but as a cheap ($60) intro to DSP, it'd be hard to beat. Or there's the venerable AVR synth, for people who know about solder (not me).
