This is the third incarnation of whiz kids I’ve bent. And it is awesome!
In addition to the usual looping/glitching (which you can see better in other posts), I’ve added two “feedback” tone knobs (high and low) with a photo theremin connected to the low tone, a 555 LFO that can trigger an LED to control the photo theremin, re-trigger the sounds/glitches, or pulsate the feedback tones, and a “glitch” LED that pulsates in strange rhythms.
When you turn on the photoresistor and both LEDs you get crazy polyrhythmic patterns of blooping and whatnot, modified by the knobs, the rate of the LFO, or the photoresistor.
Add a custom Metallic Kool Aid paint job, and you’ve got one hell of a machine.
Here it is making sweet love with the Schatz Box:

I’m gonna put this up on ebay, or contact me if you want to commission one.
