Oomingmak v1.0.0 released - Resynthesis

"Oomingmak, a new plug-in for Mac OS X (AU/VST) and Windows (VST). Oomingmak is a pitch- and envelope-tracking (re)synthesis effect. Or, to put it another way, if you feed a sound source (e.g. a guitar) into Oomingmak it will come out sounding like you're playing an analogue monosynth. Or maybe something else entirely."

YouTube via bubagoo
"modular synth + arduino micro controller + MAX/Jitter video player.
All of the sound is coming from the modular synth. The analog sequencer is sending a varying voltage to the arduino which is communicating with the computer and tweaking a video player I made in Max.
The video is a promo clip from a balloon enthusiast website."

dekatron sequencer

YouTube via cirtcele
"dekatron sequencer driving tube synth. The clock circuit includes a relay which clacks away somewhat charmingly. The relay noise does not get into the sound path of the synth, it is just the noise the synth makes whilst operating. Sound is recorded over the camera's microphone so you all can enjoy 60 seconds of clack clack clack clack clack.

"Thought I'd send you a couple of shots of the Tellun ' Neural Agonizer' that I've had made by Todd Fletcher - Check out the size of these reverb pans ! ! This is one of the latest additions to Fat Bastard - previously added a Tellun 'Doomsday Machine' too.

( Fat Bastard got a nice mention and pic in the new SOS Modular feature too )"

See these posts for more by beermaster including some shots of Fat Bastard. Note Fat Bastard is beermaster's uber modular and not an alias for someone. The modular has a bit of everything and is, um, FAT. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

YouTube via SHINMAILBOX. Hmm... Thingamagoop and a fluorescent light guitar.
Note it's probably not a Thingamagoop, but that's what obviously comes to mind. It is most likely a DIY noise box with light sensors run through stomp boxes / effects pedals. The following is the video description in Googlish. If anyone knows more, feel free to comment.
