Drum Buddy

The organic behavior of electricity is made most apparent by the newly patented Quintronics DRUM BUDDY instrument simply because the basis for its entire sound and playability is a delicate interaction between photo sensitive resistors and 5 specially designed oscillators. There are elements at work within these interactions that go far beyond the reproduction of a schematic to produce a synthesized sound. There is nothing particularly mysterious about the actual photo resistors. They are merely utilizing the curious property of Cadmium Sulfide, which, in total darkness, creates strong resistance to the flow of electrons. As more light is shed on a Cadmium Sulfide cell, its resistance to the flow of electrons rapidly decreases - eventually to the point of being a very low resistance conductor.
