Build or Modify your Sonic Gear thread

Tokolosh · 11.14.2006, 08:38 AM

A thread for all kinds of weird and wonderful instruments and info on how to build or modify your equipment!
Pedals, amps, guitars, synths, etc.

I'd love to build one of these!

How's this ZVEX amp!
It's the worlds smallest production tube guitar amp.

Resonator Neuronium

Veteran music synth designer Jürgen Michaelis has unleashed the fabulously strange €2499 Resonator Neuronium. As the name suggests (ahem), this little monster uses six interconnected analog neurons to generate music. How does it sound? Addictively odd, but comfortingly analogish. Imagine a robot ant playing the best of Tangerine Dream through your starship's hyperspace drive. It offers a huge low end but has no problem generating ripping, squealing melody lines and percussion. You definitely won't find a General MIDI soundset here.

The primary programming interface is a series of six touch-sensitive rotary controllers that allow you to build complex summing and FM networks. Neurons can self-resonate, and the unit features two external audio inputs that can be used to excite the network. Neuron envelopes can be triggered by MIDI, and the output from the six nodes can be mixed down to familiar stereo outputs. For anyone interested in burning a few brain cells, the user's manual is available online.

If you're a wealthy technostar, this thing should be all over your next album. You'll be in rare company -- so far Michaelis has delivered 20 units, with orders for five more.

great links! that first box on top should be very cool!

I recently built a tube screamer from http://www.generalguitargadgets.com it's easy to do, just some precision, and some experience with a welder, here a picture of the board:

The Sound Machine
The movements of people around the room are sensed by a post in the centre of the room. This post sends out its information by infrared to little boxes positioned on each speaker frame. The insides of the boxes are filled with chaotic circuits and wires that react and spout sounds in relation to the movements. The sounds are emitted from the speakers and cause vibration of the attached string and pen arrangement, thus transforming movements around the exhibition into random patterns on paper. The Sound Machine was originally devised with Simon Bond and was exhibited as part of the Interact1 show in September 2004

And for other awesomeness check out http://www.bugbrand.co.uk/pages/bugbrandhome.htm

I would get some from buildyourownclone.com but I don't have any soldering skills or any solder kit.
