looking to fill out my isms with weird weird shit. not so weird i guess would also be a nice kalimba module. super excited to hear if anyone has any links or videos to funny stuff?
i saw an hourglass somewhere with a light sensor, an embedded game boy, and of course the recent box of dirt:
Maybe not weird enough for you, but strange, massively intriguing, and with itās own aesthetic is this: http://folktek.com/instruments/modular/matter
Will order one as soon as I have some cash.
Bastl Instruments has some lovely stuff, including modules for activating solenoids, so you can modularize acoustic instruments. http://www.bastl-instruments.com/modular/
In a completely different direction, the 4MS Spectral Multiband Resonator is capable of all sorts of insanity.
Iāve already got plans for two cases, even though I have yet to assemble my first DIY module. Iām going to try to DIY as much as I can for two reasons: Iād like to design my own modules eventually, and Iām going to have to make at least a minimal effort to keep costs down, because this shit is addictive.
aforementioned ieaskul f. mobenthey and gieskes, his latest invention is a voltage controlled water pump module: https://www.instagram.com/p/_Pe3m7Psbu gieskes dep2b is wonderful, if you can find one.
iāve been pretty skeptical towards folktek stuff but the video demo for matter totally won me over. looking forward to learning more about it.
some individual modules (not sure how deep some of these are, so might not fit!)
special stage systems ming mecca, brilliant concept (voltage controllable video games).
iād love to build a system with ming mecca and teletype one day⦠http://www.specialstagesystems.com/system-overview/
It definitely matters what you consider weird. Some might say a wavetable oscillator is weird like the Piston Honda; others might say the Wogglebug. I think the weirdest, new result at every turn module Iāve personally used is the 4ms Noise Swash. Audio and CV, both all over the place in a very fun way. I think second on the list for me would be the ADDAC Marble Physics, which simulates a a marble on a 2D plane that generates CV and you can control the actual physics of it in very interesting ways.
-many mentioned already⦠I clearly had nothing better to do that dayā¦
that synkie rig is amazing⦠so alive -chaotic, any still would be a work of art. really dig the creative use of objects and feedback āliveā as it were. was. is⦠?
that ming mecca thing is the business.
now seriously considering attempting to find one.
though the video equation gizmo is more in line with what I could possibly affordā¦
If youāre trying to figure out whatās what, most of those pictured are builders mentioned above in this thread; lots of Gieskes, the ERD/Microresearch guy, Error Instruments, Folktek, Ciat Lombarde/IFM, Meng Qi, Frap Tools (odd inclusion, as thereās nothing weird about them), and some I canāt ID; others probably can.
