AudioCubes Drop Test February 2008

YouTube via Percussa
"An inside view on creating and testing the AudioCubes, the first commercially available tangible interface technology in the world (see www.percussa.com). In this video we test new packaging for the AudioCubes, to make sure the product does not get damaged during transport. The inventor, Bert Schiettecatte, walks us through the process."

Update: Anyone know if you can theoretically use these like you would Reactable? I'm guessing you can assign them to control different parameters on a synth and use them in much the same way.

Roland Juno Series DCOs

"This page is a brief look at the technology of the Roland Juno series digitally controlled oscillators. These are an interesting hybrid design. Although digitally controlled and digitally stable, the oscillator produces a true analogue output, even for ramp waves,

rather than the typical staircase waveform produced by feeding an incrementing count to a DAC or from a wavetable."

Circuit bent mechanical furby sequencer - The Furby Gurdy!

YouTube via thenervoussquirrel on the forum.
"Each furby has 4 controls: mute, crash, loop and reset. The handle turns 8 cams which operate corresponding microswitches to create interesting rhythmic patterns. Part of the 'setting up' section at the beginning has been fast forwarded. Please commission me to make lots more of these machines!"
