Absolute Extremes MCBC-01 Moog Circuit Bending Akai S01

From the creators of the Ninstrument & SYNTHBOY+, Absolute Extremes brings us the MCBC-01 custom bent Akai S01 with Keith McMillen QuNeo & iPad dock (click through for more pics).

"Josh Felice and I saw the next Moog Circuit Bending Challenge and Josh suggested we enter in a custom version of the bent Akai S01 that I had done before. (Scroll down to see the original) Credit goes to Circuitbenders.co.uk for first inventing this bend. We took the original bent design and disseminated the best bends and added a few more cool and crazy features. First we have introduced a couple of square clocks that actually feed directly into the ram causing all sorts of mayhem and the other feature was to include a dock feature that would allow midi control from an iPad or QuNeo. You can also sample Animoog straight from the iPad too! I chose to design in hardwood to pay tribute to Moog and their designs. It was a lot of fun working in wood for a change. Video coming soon!"

DIY Electronic Drum Pad Unit Prototype

YouTube Published on Sep 19, 2012 by Geigertek

"A few seconds of vid testing out a DIY drum pad unit my son and I built. And yes, you can hear the sticks hitting the pads - it was done in a hurry!!!"

https://www.youtube.com/user/Geigertek/videos

via Neil Fellowes on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge:

"This'll make you smile - I wanted a basic electronic drum kit, but alas couldn't afford one (I take sympathy well), so I made one. Out of an old wardrobe, 8 table mats and gaffer tape. It works - eat yer heart out Roland. Usual piezo transducer triggers which are fed into an Alesis DM5 drum module - oh and I couldn't resist the cheesy Simmons sounds ;-) And before anyone says anything, I know you can hear the sticks on the pads (mats) - I did the video in a hurry."
