Synth Going Down Under!

One of Noodle Corps newest modified products is the Circuit Bent Madnoodle Mini Piano. They feature a 555 timer circuit for creating spacey sounds. The timer blinks a LED that is effecting a light sensitive resistor. It also has an over all pitch control. One of the coolest parts about integrating a 555 timer circuit into a key board is that you can control the speed of pitch variation pulses. One finds a speed that they like and then while adjusting the pitch cool space sounds happen! :)
This particular keyboard is going to Western Australia. When I found out I got really excited and put on the Kink's song Australia. "Opportunities are available in all walks of life in Australia / So if you're young and if you're healthy / Why not get a boat and come to Australia...?"
If it were only that simple? I'd probably get bitten by something poisonous, and I'm super busy running this Noodle conglomerate from wicked and wonderful NYC.
