Last week, Bleep Labs introduced the Thingamagoop 2 with a teaser at their site.

Now they’ve put together this video showing the Thingamagoop 2 in squelchy action.

The Thingamagoop 2 is a DIY kit that sells for $100.

Here’s what’s new in the Thingamagoop 2:

• Analog VCO controlled by analog or digital signal from Arduino. (A separate Arduino board is not required)
• Sample and hold, Arpeggios, noise, and bit crush effects with open source code so you can program your own sounds!
• All the analog sounds of the original Thingamagoop.
• Controllable LEDacle – Ramp and random waveforms with rate control.
• New modulators – Square wave amplitude modulator and triangle wave pulse width modulator.
• Tough, stomp box type body with silk screened graphics in 3 different styles.
• Easy to access battery – No more screws!
• Much fuller and louder speaker.
• CV in and out.
• Arduino Programmer jack. Easily hook an Ardunio board up to the Thingamagoop 2.
• Kit now comes with a pre-drilled enclosure.
• Still assembled in Austin, Texas by Dr. Bleep and friends.

Thingamagoop starts in a film for Film Dash by Pete Ashton, Rachael Marchant and Danny Smith. Made in 48 hours from construction of the camera through to the final edit.

Last week, we featured a lo-fi 3D animation of cartoon characters on a turntable. This video features a Bleep Labs Thingamagoop synth monster taking a turntable ride, too.

Bleep Labs has reintroduced the ThingamaWEEN – an anthropmorphic robot synthesizer, styled for Halloween.

• The Modern Prometh-O-Lux – monster

Threadless has announced a new contest, and the winner will get a Thingamagoop synth.

Here’s the story:

Our doorbell here at Threadless broke, so the tech awesome dudes hacked together a magnificent replacement for it out of this super mega awesome noise making synthesizer robot!

Our friends at Bleep Labs sent us a Thingamagoop, and he’s doing a good job, but he needs a new name! So post your name idea in this blog, and while everyone is here tomorrow, we’ll vote and select a winner!

Here’s the best part.. the winner will get their very own Thingamagoop, courtesy of Bleep Labs!

Says cinnamonjuly: “I plugged up my Bleeplabs Thingamagoop to my EMS Synthi and it immediately started using the Synthi as some kind of weird transmitter to contact home.”
