prepare to meet the Coffee Can of Doom (with audio)
Still waiting for the parts to mod/fix the Poly-800, so I decided to do another quick project in the interim: the Coffee Can of Doom! This is a circuit-bent instrument based on a toy soundboard called the Doomsday Device that makes ticking sounds & beeps an alarm, like a bomb I guess.

And here’s the Coffee Can of Doom:
The Can is “played” via the contact points on the lid. Here’s what it sounds like (just a recording of randomly touching various points and combinations thereof):
