Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio: Wormhole Voyage #1
YouTube via MrfixitRick
"This crystal radio in a jam jar is able to receive a computer screen-saver, and respond with rich real-time sound effects!
The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio's sensitive antennas pick up on the RF emanations of the screen. The crystal circuit delivers the audio signal to the computer, where software Audio Hijack Pro increases gain and alters the pitch in real time.
This screensaver example shows a journey across Hyperspace and back through wormholes. All sounds are generated in real-time by the radio.
The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio was a recent winner of the monthly Gadget Freak award by Design News, the oldest engineering news magazine.
See the article here: http://www.designnews.com/article/355...
The building instructions for this project are found at, http://www.instructables.com/id/Spook... Please vote for my Instructables there! (Thanks ;)
The real inspiration for the Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio comes from the BetaBlocker line of spirit radios made by EJ Gold and found at http://www.yoyodyneindustries.com
Get EJ Gold's book, "Parallel Worlds Explored" http://www.idhhb.com/parallelworldsex...

Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio
"Mrfixitrick shows a series of seven experiments with his Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio, a non-powered crystal radio circuit built in a jam-jar.
This simple crystal radio shows abilities such as: detecting lightning, making voice phenomena, interacting with all forms of light, creating music and sound effects, reading a computer screen, acting as a mike, and detecting RF pulses. In that order!
The Spooky Tesla Spirit Radio is plugged directly into the iMac computer sound-in port. Audio Hijack Pro software provides the gain and real time sound effects based on the radio's input.
The radio's antennas are inspired by Tesla's higher voltage examples, and its basic LC circuit is similar to Tesla's original inductor coil and capacitor circuit schematics."
VINTAGE RARE KORG 770 ELECTRONIC KEYBOARD SYNTHESIZER
"modified the output cord to run with a rca input and plugged it into a receiver and this thing sounds great"
yep...
Korg EMX Addiction
YouTube via rudeog
"Korg Electribe EMX messing with ribbon and cutoff (and some video fx). All sounds come from the EMX."
DRUMFIRE ANALOG DRUM SYNTH
"includes the touch sensitive triggers that you can mount on your drums or whatever, you can even adjust the sensitivity to tap them with your fingers. Each of the 5 channels are the same with the following sound shaping parameters, sensitivity, osc decay, noise decay, sweep, pitch, osc/noise balance, click sound on/off, pan, volume. The trigger inputs can be triggered by pretty much any audio input, you can also chain channels together by running the out into the in of another to thicken the sound.
Autonomous Bassline Generator - out of the box
YouTube via 4mspedals
"Built your ABG kit? This is what it should do when you turn it on...
For more info on the ABG, go to http://www.4mspedals.com"
Autonomous Bassline Generator - basic demo
"Basic demo of the features of the Autonomous Bassline Generator, a low-cost, hackable, deterministic sequencer + digital VCO + photo-sensitive analogue filter + PWM controlled LED. It also features IR connectivity, as seen in the last part of the video where two ABG's are beat sync'ed!
Available as a kit from http://www.4mspedals.com
and will be built at Handmade Music Austin's Nov 2009 workshop"
Autonomous Bassline Generator - IR sync demo
"HAIRNET stands for Hairnet Audio InfraRed NETwork, and is the platform of choice for Andromeda Space Rocker devices. With this simple protocol, a branching chain of drum/bass/lead modules can be sync'ed up (or run at their own tempos, of course).
Shown here are two ABG's in sync. The business card is used to break the IR beam

Casio Keytar With Pitch Ribbon
YouTube via JorgeCortez01
"This is a demo of the pitch ribbon I added to my casio cz-101 which is selling on ebay item #180424616232"
"Strap it like a keytar! It has pegs on the sides and most important is the pitch ribbon I inserted on the side mounted on a piece of wood and painted black., this mod just mirrors what the pitch wheel does, but it can do very nice bends or tap on it to give you a guitar like effect on it., pitch range can be adjusted to an octave so you can get those very crazy jordan rudess like bending.
Use it as a sound source or as a master MIDI controller."
