Make: Online : Buddha machine

Buddha machine

Buddhamachine Colors

Finally on-the-go zen for today's busy traveller, the Buddha Machine from FM3 plays nine different drones successively, with lengths ranging from 2 - 42 seconds long -

The machine has its own built-in speaker, in case one would like to fill a room with the drones, but there is also a headphone jack for more personal meditative experiences. There's a switch on the side that allows for traversal of the tracks, and a DC jack (though an adapter is not included) for those who would like the Buddha Machine experience be truly endless.

Sorry, no plans for a video-capable version as of yet.

You can get a wide variety of the buddha jukeboxes here: http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.jukebox

I ordered two, one for listening and one for circuit bending.

We used one of these (the green one) quite succesfully to lull my daugther to sleep when she was 1 and 2 years old.
