Side note: the bottom right system is mine - Production Prototype 1 with a few modules added on.

Update via Craig: "I did some tweaking to the mix last night and this morning. I think it's a very cool piece of music, nearly 20 minutes. It's quite a ride. This Mattson Modular Synthesizer in seriously awesome (with infinite possibilities for creating sounds), and extremely lightweight for something that can produce a massive wall of sound!"

Update:

"Craig Padilla composed this excerpt with the Mattson Mini Modular on Black Friday 2010. This shows a wide range of sounds that can be created. Thank you, Craig!"

Sprak

"Sprak is a noise app, noise as in crackles and phat distorted drones. Sprak is an instrument for people who loves to experiment with noise. Sprak was born out of a need to play with evolving noisy noise while riding the train.

You could also make sounds that sound a bit like hypnotoad.

Still not decided if you should shell out .99cents for this most awesomely awesome glitched out noised curcuitbentish app? check out the soundexamples over at http://www.tinkerteam.se/?page_id=87"

"A little peek into the process. 7up controlling everything, even on the modular.

No audio clips were used here. The process is to actually play patterns into 7up using the manta and then sequence those back live. Because 7up is driving the modular, we are able to tweak the sound as we progress."
