Jesse Styles created this “autofaciomodulated synthesizer”, built from the Thingamakit by Bleeplabs.

Sunday Synth Jam: A little experimental noise improvisation from rezzn8r:

built a thingamakit the other day, so thought I’d try it out with the moogerfoogers.

nothing serious, just havin’ fun!

The thingamakit works much better in the dark, but it sounds ok with sunlight, too!

HackaDay has a nice tutorial that looks at hacking the Thingamakit anthropomorphic synthesizer.

Hacks include adding a waveshaper knob, a sine wave switch and an audio input. If you’re thinking about getting a Thingamakit – this is a must read before you dive in. Kits are $55, or $65 with the enclosure.
