Yes, the rumors are true. I made two musical devices last Sunday. This is the more simple PicoPaso, a stepped tone noise synth. The good news is that I can use it in conjunction with the Space Baby once I get the proper cables and a nine volt.
See the PicoPaso in action.

This is the result of the workshop I went to last weekend. It was pretty rude of me to tell you about it without showing you the result. The emails have been pouring in this week, demanding that I show the world what I created. Well, I heard you loud and clear, so here is the beat-synced modulated digital delay I made called Space Baby. Each colorful piece of metal and plastic had to be attached to the board using my not-small fingers. It was tough, but I “soldered” through.*
Here’s a video of the Space Baby at work, if you’d like to hear what it sounds like.
*Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Last night, Ben and I went to Handmade Music, hosted by Dr. Bleep.* I knew I was in for several hours of soldering but I didn’t know I’d be running into Reid Jacobson, my pal from last year’s MaxFunCon. We spent 6 hours making tiny light-sensitive synthesizers, drinking beer, and reminiscing. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday night.
* If you’re attending SXSW, take note of the robot logos of the festival. They are based on the adorable synths produced by Bleep Labs.
