Sometimes, a little bit of noise can be fun. This little noise synth called the Nandhopper, is a quick simple project to get started. The parts list is pretty short, mainly material for the sensors and a 4093 Quad, 2-input Schmitt trigger and NAND gate. You end up with an easy to use, fairly small 1-Bit synth. If you don’t know what a 1-Bit synth sounds like, watch the demo video. Sure, it just sounds like noise to us, but that’s music to some people.

Sounds like the electronic fart machine I got at the dollar store, whats next a flatulant robot?
Definitely an acquired taste :)
Personally, I think this one-ups fart machines in that it offers an unparalleled degree of continuous control, with four degrees of freedom at that!
Yep.
Sounds like a robot with the squirts.
