The Electronic Research Products Tempo-Tuner is a device meant to be a bandroom tuner and metronome. The one I have has lost some functionality over time, but the "variable" setting still works. It occurred to me that if its pitch was consistent, I could label the various pitches and play the thing like a musical instrument. This video is documentation of that thrilling process. The theme music was recorded using the Minimoog (bass), ARP 2600 (Melody), Hohner Pianet and Yamaha CS-50 (chords), CS-50 (arpeggiated chords), and me on drums.
