Space Symphony: The Bleep Labs Thingamagoop Audio Synths

If you’re the kind that likes to compose your own organic, outer-space masterpiece, but don’t want to copy the famous Star Wars sounds and want to make your own, take a look at the Bleep Labs Robo Audio Synths from ThinkGeek. They’re given the wonderful name Thingamagoop. Read on for more about it:

The Thingamagoop is an awesome, little, light-controlled, analog synthesizer. Much like Raymond Scott’s Circle Machine (and if you don’t know who Raymond Scott is, shame on you), the Thingamagoop uses its LEDacle (an LED-tipped tentacle) to flash light (at different speeds) into its photocell. The photocell talks to the main oscillator and (with a little more technical stuff that we just won’t get into here), you get bilps and bleeps of pure electronic wonderment. And hey, if you’re more the Maker, get a Thingamakit instead and build your own! You’ll be rewarded with the knowledge that you built it yourself, as well as an extra LEDacle, wave form, and photocell (for even more sound control, variation, etc.). What are you waiting for? You might be the next great composer of Droid Opera! But you’ll need a Thingamagoop or Thingamakit to know for sure.

You have a choice of features and prices, ranging from $69.99 to $119.99. Have your fun with it, then pass it on to your favorite space composer (probably a child) for even more fun.
