Super cool. If it’s real…wow.
It’s Hulten, they make one-off units repackaging existing hardware.
The Drum Machine part would appear to be the Twisted Electrons Deton8.
DIY ferrofluid visualizer:
Commercially available unit that takes input from a speaker (can probably be modded for wired input):
This little ferrofluid guy seems alive, I would feel so sorry for him to torture him like that. If I had this drum synth I think I wouldn’t touch it.
How much would it probably cost?
Who wants to ask him?
By him, are you referring to the little ferrofluid guy who’s living inside of this thing? I wouldn’t want to ask him, what with him being trapped in there like that. I would especially try to avoid playing I Want To Break Free by Queen.
To paraphrase the classic IKEA lamp ad: “Many of you feel sorry for the ferrofluid. That is because you are crazy. It has no feelings.”
I think lava blob drum synth has a better ring to it. Is ferrofluid the same stuff from the X-files that would seep into people while the cancer man chain smoked?
I think I know why I have empathy for this little ferrofluid guy : childhood.
Edit : Man, imagine if Lucas Abela made music with this thing :
I asked him once and he gave me a ball park figure of 4K for his designs.
This was maybe 4 years ago so it has probably changed due to him blowing up and you know, the world being what it is today.
He’s so talented though!
