And soon to come:
Drawdio.com
I've been taking video of people using drawdio for the last few weeks. Here's the compilation. I still don't have video of someone playing a song really well on it, though I've seen it happen. All in good time though.

Love the idea and the interaction of drawing together.
Sometimes the simplest ideas have the most impact.
Looking forward to how to build our own, my son now has mad soldering skills.
I LOVE DRAWDIO!
i made somthing similar to this, except it had a croc clip (to clip onto the line) and a ring for ya finger.
this is way awesomer though!

Hey SpiderWebby that sounds cool. Can you post a picture or link or description or story about it?
it was literally an astable 555 circuit with variable resistors and two wires.
i threw it together while i was at bedford training group.
you basically drew you instrument, clipped the croc onto the end of it, put the 'ring' ony your playing finger and made noise by pokeing it.
only one guy managed to get a half decent tune out of it.. cant remember his name though :(
Cute hack Jay - neat idea.
Hat tip.
Cheers,
Hi Jay! I have one of these since about 7 or 8 years back. I was contacted by a person researching graphic notation about inclusion in her project... I have never seen the results, but it should be included there. www.notations21.net
I sent her a bunch of drawings (scores) I had saved from my visitors... It is a fun music instrument.
Interesting to see someone else has the same idea!

James, could you post pictures, schematics, or tell more about the one you made and your experiences with it?
how cool!!! Now someone needs to customize it to send simple MIDI note data via blue tooth to audio production software like reason, logic or cubase.

someone should make a drawdio glove. like there are pads on the tips of your fingers and you just tap them on things.
Amazing !! I wish I could be part of such group
Jay i have 2 questions (im only 9)
1)is the chip included in the kit?
2)will the elecric circut elecicuit me?
Hi Brandon
1) All the parts you need are included in the kit. All you would need are the standard tools to put together a circuit: a soldering iron, some solder, and diagonal cutters (wire cutters). If you have a "3rd Hand" tool or a desolder'ing tool that's also useful.
2) All the electricity in the circuit comes from the 1.5 V battery in the circuit. As you know if you've ever held a AAA battery between your fingers, it won't electricuit you.
Good Luck
(:
