johnnix Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Inspired by this (posted in afx soundcloud thread): I thought it would be cool to have a thread about weird, old or just unusual instruments; I imagine everybody here is into that ^^So, here are some links, feel free to post away! Absolute reference here: http://www.mim.be/enMaybe we could pin it if watmm deems it worthy? Edited December 5, 2015 by johnoise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splesh Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 What no mention of the samchillian (tip tip tip cheeepeeeee)? Invented by Leon Gruenbaum who one of his bandmates describes as "Joe Zawinul on speed", it's a wacky instrument/MIDI controller that's all based on changing pitches relative to one another.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samchillianhttps://www.leongruenbaum.com/samchilliankidchillian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
