In this video, a Cyndustries Photon module is used to control a modular synthesizer with light:
The Photon Interface module comes with a black metal Littlelite brand high-intensity gooseneck lamp, a rheostat dimmer, heavy duty right-angle 4-pin panel connectors, and an independent 12 Volt DC power transformer for system lighting right where you need it.
The lower half of the module features a sensitive photocell with its own dedicated voltage processor which can be used as a performance controller when your hand passes between photocell and lamp.
The voltage processor has an adjustable attenuator and comparator and offers both positive and inverted outputs. Rushing the photocell suddenly with your hand will also generate a Gate Output for triggering different things, and you can switch between an external signal input or an adjustable internal voltage supply simply with the pull of a knob.

Description:
The Tabla (also known as Arabic drum, darbukkah, darbouka or dumbak) is a single-headed hand- drum found in most Arab music ensembles.
This application provides a Tabla with 5 different beat sounds, the “Doum” in the middle, and 4 different “Taks” in the four corners of the drum. For best sound quality, connect your iPhone/iPod touch to external speakers or headphones.
You can play your iPod music in the background while using this application.
Impact Soundworks has released a new ethnic instrument sample library in Kontakt format: Sitar Nation: Classical Instruments of India.
“Sitar Nation” was designed to address the lack of sample collections focusing exclusively on Indian instruments with a level of depth normally reserved for violins and pianos. Priced at $119 as a digital download, the library enables any composer or producer with Kontakt to create realistic, expressive performances of the sitar, tambura, tabla and baya.
You can preview Sitar Nation below:
