Do you think cheap toy keyboards are only good for modding? But some of them (if not most) have very interesting features that open up new ways to get experimental sound (which will probably become even more exciting after modding).
In this video, you will see how toy keyboards can be used to detect radio and micro waves, and even ship radar simply holding them up to the sky.
Want to turn a recorded sample into deep space ambient? Try SpaceFields app!
SpaceFields (iOS, Mac, Audio unit) is a mangler effect for creating slowly changing rhythmic sound structures in a deep reverb space from any external signal. Great for experimenting and designing ambient and noise backgrounds with rhythmic elements.
NoInputMixer is an experimental feedback-based musical instrument that models an analog mixing console, designed to create a wide range of amazing, otherworldly electronic sounds by feeding the mixer's output back to its input.
LoopMangler is an innovative multi-effect glitch sequencer designed to manipulate rhythmic samples, external input, or output from other applications. This powerful tool operates based on the effect sequence patterns, allowing you to transform ordinary loops into unusual glitchy and noisy textures.
NoInputMixer consists of a seven-channel mixer and an effects rack with eight slots. Each effect slot can be configured as an insert effect for a mixer channel or used with two send/return buses. Effects has an option for hi-res or lo-fi sound processing. Each mixer channel has its own algorithmic generator of different types of noise, which can be added to the feedback signal or used separately. The input selector switches between multiple points in the signal path to make different types of feedback loops or can be switched to an external input for any channel to use it as an effect processor.

BeatCutter (iOS/Mac) is an experimental multi-channel app for slicing and recombining sound based on rhythm. In the center of the app is a matrix of sample cells with smoothly reconfigurable recording, playback and control busses. This app is best for those who would like to experiment with long sound files or live instruments, creating chaotic constructions and patterns from sliced rhythm-driven samples.

The new level of control with the latest update featuring Live pads mode. This mode allows you to assign presets and loops to on-screen pads, enabling seamless transitions during live performances or studio sessions. You can also map these pads to a MIDI controller for added convenience. Additionally, dedicated pads for muting effect bars and randomly changing effect envelopes provide the tools to dynamically alter sound patterns in real-time, offering a sophisticated approach to sound design and live performance.
This update also introduces the ability to undo Paste, Clear, Move, and Make operations, enhancing your workflow efficiency, and you can now select effects when generating patterns, providing more creative control. The description has also been updated and several minor bugs have been fixed.

This updates brings a new feature to set the dry/wet level of the effects and output level on each step of the pattern. Now you can not only apply effects to loops, but also mix the output of effects with the original audio, which significantly expands the possibilities of transforming and filling loops with new sounds created from them, and which will harmoniously fit into the overall rhythmic structure.

The LoopMnagler allows you to apply various audio effects (like distortions, filters, noises, delays) to your samples or input audio in a step-by-step manner. Think of it as a timeline where you can place different effects at specific points, creating dynamic and evolving textures.
Key Features:
Advanced Sound Design: With its well-designed user interface and creative features, LoopMangler provides an exciting playground for sonic exploration and sound design.
Random Pattern Generation: Make patterns and individual bars randomly or according to specific rules, offering a quick start or a source of inspiration for your projects.
Multi-Effect Sequencing: Assign up to six distortion and filter effects to each step of the sequencer, providing endless possibilities for sound manipulation.

This diagram graphically shows some of the types of loops that can be achieved with audio cassettes, along with their corresponding durations.
sound pudding - Making a loop is quite easy. Open the cassette, cut to length, use a tiny bit of clear tape to connect the ends, and wrap it around the tape spools :)
