SATANIC SAMPLING BORG TEDDY
Cower in fear mere mortal for here, coming straight from beelzebubs backside we have the satanic sampling borg teddy.

The mighty borg teddy is made from a rather sickeningly cute valentines day teddy bear which, for some unknown reason incorporates a very low resolution sampler. Hold the bears left paw and you can record a short message with the built in mic. You can then play the sample back by squeezing the right paw, at least thats the theory. With a few additions we have turned this beast into the ultimate circuitbenders valentines gift.
The main new feature is the sampler pitch knob implanted in the back of the head. This controls the speed of the sample playback and also sets the sampling rate when recording. Interesting sounds can be produced by sampling with the pitch up full so you only get milliseconds of sampling time and them playing back at the lowest setting. The most innocent of sounds suddenly turn into the end of the world, caused by terminal flatulence.
The switch in the back of the head switches between the external line input and the internal mic input.
