  I've covered the quirky original ANS synthesizer before. This is the synthesizer used by Eduard Artemyev on soundracks for movies such as Solyaris and Stalker . A virtual ANS software synthesizer has been made, and best of all it is totally free!

No more fiddling with pots: this guy removed the knobs and replaced them with an on-board Arduino with a Bluetooth module. On top of that he wrote an Android application with which he can change presets on the fly and even create some tremolo-like effects by switching between the presets automatically. Details on the project can be found on the Arduguitar home page .

For all the Android users out there, here's a cool free app for you: Music Synthesizer by Raph Levien. It's an emulation of the legendary Yamaha DX7 . Via Music radar .
