It's like a synthesizer, but much more complicated, with a surprisingly difficult interface for actually accomplishing stuff. Like, how do you synchronize your multiple particle emitters, or pause them? That seems like something pretty basic, and it's not immediately clear how I do that.

Looking through the twitter account is great because building one of these is a pain in the ass but opening someone elses and messing with the tones and samples to make a weird ongoing song is... wait what time is it? FOUR PM? SHIT I was going to do some work today.

The interface to this has a very Teenage Engineering vibe to it. The vector fonts are part of this.
