thing a day 3: matchbox synthesizer

cute little speaker and colorful switches from Active Surplus in Toronto!

The most adorable little synthesizer ever. For the thing-a-day project.

It sounds (and looks) like this.

That is way cool. Can I get a copy of the schematics?

You can have this one --- for ONE! MILLION! DOLLARS!

It doesn't have schematics exactly - more just a sort of jumble of wires and stuff I soldered together at random until it made noise.

That's really nifty. My brother randomly sent me an email telling me to check out this cool matchbox synth. I replied and said that I've personally met The Ranjit :)
