So my friend just sent me one of these things a couple weeks ago...

Basically they're analog/digital wave synthesizers that make make a bunch of crazy noises.  I guess some musicians actually use them on their DJ equipment cuz it has 5mm outputs for AMPS, or you could hook it up to MIDI or just about anything.

The whole thing is based on its photo-diode on the nose.  THe more light it gets, the higher the voltage output, which alters the synth signal. 

It has a built on speaker too

I dunno..the things are effin' funny, but I gotta admit I'm having fun with it.  I did a product review of Thingamagoop HERE

Woah woah woah..."USELESS NOISE?"

Do you have any IDEA how annoying these things can be?  YOu could practically make your parents head's explode on the spot.

Tell me that's not useful?

No seriously though, you can actually make some legit beats with it when you get the hang of it.
