Brass, wood and bleeps: synths for Victorians

NOTE: This is the first of eight entries from the uber-talented Mike Ford. He has countless other mods which are well worthy of a mention here but, to save repetition we strongly recommend you check his maddscientist39110 photostream on Flickr, his SonofCastille channel on YouTube and his interview with Getlofi for a mind-boggling display of metal-cased noise. First up: Edison's Beatbox...
This drum machine/synth combo features two sounds: “one a cheezy (sic) drum machine and another organ type circuit tuned in fiths!”. The wooden housing definitely adds a touch of Victorian chic.
Watch Edison's Beatbox in action here.
