Designer Yuri Suzuki (with Dentaku) has released a new video, embedded below, that demonstrates the Ototo electronic music instrument building system.
The Ototo is a synth on a PCB board. It comes with 12 alligator clips that you can attach to objects, turning almost anything into a playable instrument.
The Ototo is available worldwide for £60.
Can i also connect a midi keyboard? Would be more useful than slamming on a plant or banana.
Kind regards,
I think you might be missing the whole point of this – to let you experiment with creating your own musical instruments. If you just want a MIDI synth module, there are lots of better options!
Connect it to a keyboard, then slam on the keyboard. Et voila!
LOL, wow, some people just have no sense of humour!
the real question: is it class compliant USB MIDI *out* ?
It’s kind of cute…colrful marketing, but I’m not sure. Could be cool, perhaps.
Very cool. Being able to link it to ableton and store your own sounds onboard, opens up the possibility for some amazing interactive performance space stuff, and for VERY little money.
nice toy reminds me of the maker product…..
Do you mean the “Makey Makey”? Turn anything into a USB keyboard?
Clip up the ol pee hole, play the skin flute.
Cute and cheap(ish)
