PINK BOX




Sounds:
Apparently means something to some people - it's a toy I re-housed in a pink plastic box. The plastic was messy to drill through - it's the really hard kind that cracks extremely easily. The original toy was a microphone with "sound effects" such as people booing (represented in typical Engrish fashion by a ghost), applause, laughter, etc. I found an internal pitch shift, as well as another slightly different one accessed through a voltage drop.
I really like these toys that are built with overpowerful amplifiers, so the microphone feeds back when you bring it even slightly close to the speaker, which then slows down everything else the toy is doing by virtue of sheer mismanaged power usage.
