I took my latest DIY Project, the Diddley Spoon, and plugged it into the modular synthesizer. Why not?

Diddley spoon goes interstellar! Houston, we have a problem. Poorness lockdown showing signs of extraterrestrial behavior. Great video Mr. Antibodies, another interesting journey into your mind. One small spoon for man, one giant tone ....to drag every space alien here to see what’s up.

I love that folks are hearing ELP and Floyd in there. That's awesome. As much as the guitar is ubiquitous with rock and roll (and it totally is) we wouldn't have had Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, ELP, and so many more w/o synthesizers.

Early Pink Floyd......ish

You're welcome AD. Always good to take a trip down memory lane. The ol' TI Speak 'n Spell was a genius creation for circuit bending. Believe it or not, there's a guy in TX who figured out how to make a purposeful oscillator out of the SnS chip so you can get all those sounds tuned to pitch. Crazy stuff.

Thanks Denbo. White noise can be a lot of fun in and of itself. Maybe I need to do a white noise soundscape... hmmmm.

Minimal electronics in a good tradition Poorness! that TX gives a wide range of posebilleties,  I use to go from my Moog Rogue to my Yamaha CS  5 to my Korg MS10 and put a mixer in between to boost up the envelope all the plug ins from the Ms10 gave you loads of plug ins and plug treu posebillety's at the time we used electronic childrens toys to generate the basic sound like maybee you remember the speak and spell by texas instruments way cool stuff ,brings back some memories this Thanks PS
