Lorin Tone and Madcow Cosmos have created a band of cute, quirky avatars based on musical instruments. Not only do they look musical, they ARE musical. Get several of these awesome avs together and you can all join together to make music. Drums, Tuba, trombone, cymbals, clarinet, whistle and others round out the band.

The avs use a series of sampled music loops, each with many variations – some can even loop more than one sample at a time. For instance, the Drummer Av has Drums, Drum n Bass, FX, Bhangra Boxes and Bass lines to mix together. Each sample is made to work with the other sounds so that whatever you play will be in tune and synchronized. With a full band of avs there would be a crazy number of variations to work with. Super cute, too. Love these things!
You can get your own Bandbot at Lorin’s Sound Shack or Madcow’s Primordial Soup and Sandwich. Anyone wanna Jam?
