TALKBOX!
Ok, I made a talkbox some 20 mins ago and it is fun as hell, all I used is an old 3inch amp that was powered by a 9v battery, a funnel, and some garden hose.

IT IS SO MUCH FUN I SUGGEST YOU TRY IT!

Example of what a talkbox can do

Yes it is the thing that makes that robotic sound.

HOW TO MAKE ONE!
Source: YouTube


Ok so if you still don't exactly get how it works is, you force the sound into the tube somehow, make your own way. Then the end of the tube is where the sound comes out of, this will be in your mouth. As you change the shape of your mouth, the sound changes aswell. That's HOW IT WORKS!

It is a great toy, and the great thing about mine is I can bring it anywhere.

It will work with about any synthesizer. Keyboards, a guitar(what I use), maybe even a bass I don't know.

DOOOO EEET!

It's a washburn x-20.
But I think keyboards will do fine, most youtube video's of talkboxers are done with keyboards.
