I play the stylophone like Kraftwerk's "Pocket Calculator". with Nintendo DS and iPod touch."
Old Korgs are Cool

"Old korgs are cool. The MiniDoc is doing all the work pushing around a few Korgs, a modular synthesizer, and a Roland TR-808. The MiniDoc can also lace sync tracks onto analog tape or a DAW."
Spot the synths. That little orange one is an EML Polybox.
Pitch shifting & Amplitude Modulating a Drum Sample with a
YouTube via isotopeofme
"In the interest of learning more about the electronics I use, I put together this simple beginners DIY electronic kit from Maplin. I modified it slightly, where there should have been a small condenser microphone I put in a wired input so that I can route sounds from the modular and computer through it. This is an example of the (ahem) high quality pitch shifting algorithm you can get your hands on for 10 GBP and what it does to a drum sample. This little battery powered gizmo pitch shifts up or down 3 octaves, amplitude modulates with a square wave and and has what I assume to be a ring modulation mode. Im using my Doepfer VCA to attenuate the signal. I put it together in about an hour last weekend but botched the job. This morning I went back and traced my error to ignoring the polarity on the LED and a diode. Unfortunately I think I fried the LED because its not doing what it is supposed to do.

Folktek The Book of Sound

"The Book of sound By Ben Houston.
This extra custom piece is part of a folktek series entitled "philanthropoid"". Also in the series on the site is the Mantis, dronescape sequencer, the moth, the growling insect, the bug, the octa-hedra, walking stick, pendulum translator and others. The sound is phenomenol and continues to amaze us. It is a sonic symphony of nasty and grimy sweetness, endless layers of sound possibilities emenating from High quality OSC originally based on high tech speech synthesis. Seemingly random bits can be rediscovered time and time again and then there are those moments that you will most likely never rediscover. This piece WILL provide sounds that you will not find in other synthesizers and will astonish you every time you turn it on.
This particular piece features four patchable knobs, two with common center points and a twelve point patchbay. This allows you to determine function and provides tons of flexibility. In addition, featured is a light sensitive photo theramin control for global synth sound as well as: two more knobs (global control and power kill), glowing lamp power indicator , 2 folktek button/switches for activate and freeze mode sections,light sensitive photo-contol, reset, 1/4" output, built in battery pack, basic manual of function and layout. You'll be able to cipher through waveforms and textures with extreme sensitivity in thousands of ways. Waveforms (individual, or multiple layers) can be captured and maintained, often intermodulating in beautiful and/or disturbing ways. Super sensitive knobs let you filter through tons of sounds and glitchscapes. Albums are waiting to be created here as the sound is quite different from anything else you'll find.. Runs on 4 "AA" batteries Includes manuel"
Update via stylinghead in the comments: "if it really comes with manuel it is definitely worth it. manuel makes a mean margarita and is a brilliant conversationalist to boot."
