Had a look at all the various DIY musical thingies?

Couple of things:

- wobblebug http://www.musicsynthesizer.com/WoggleBug/WoggleBug.html
- Midibox modular midi-thingie (http://www.ucapps.de and
http://www.midibox.org)
- http://www.gyraf.dk/gy_pd/gyraf_diy.html

So hmmm, plenty of 'circuit benders' out there, or actually circuit
creators to tailor to their particular sonic wants and needs.

of course, all these projects eat time. LLlllllllllllots of time.
