Scrambled speech circuits from 2 vtech speaking toys....

YouTube via squidfanny | August 09, 2010

"Work in progress. Cross modulating the speech circuits from a couple of vtech toys. Astonishing glitch sounds, but highly un-predictable. Hopefully it will eventually become a usable musical instrument. Right now though it needs many more hours of work.....

Machines are - 'Talking scholar' & 'My amazing starter'"
