March 10th, 2010 – Yoshi Akai, who’s apparently a steampunk aficionado, has created a sequencer that uses Lego to program 3 channels and 8 steps. Each coloured block has an embedded resistor, and stacking them controls effects. The website is sparse on details but it looks like the synthesizer is built into the unit, and it doesn’t look like there’s MIDI out. Still, very cool implementation and bonus points for bringing the original Lego pieces back. Who needs to build the Millenium Falcon when you can build music.
