Drawdio: an analog synthesizer on your pencil
Boing Boing Gadgets —
The Drawdio is a lovely soft-lead pencil with an analog synthesizer circuit strapped to the spine, transforming your sinuous cursive into an array of electronica burblings, slides and squawks. I love it: onomatopoeic penmanship.

Music Pencil Lets You Draw Electronic Sounds
Tech Blog —
