Hardware AudioToys.
Can't believe I found and bought an audiotoy in a store.
I bought two of Tomy's "SwitchSwitch" series. Each one is a small object with a few LEDs and a switch.
Basically, if you turn the switch position to On, it emits a powering-up mechanical-type sound. This will loop until you turn it to Off. When it reaches Off it will emit a powering-down sound. Then the Standby LED will flash for a few minutes and then turn off to save battery power.
What's really funny about them is that if you leave them On for too long, they will emit an overloaded sound and then automatically shut down. The switch won't move back to the On position, but they will enter Standby mode anyway.
They're awesome. They're also magnetic: I stuck 'em to my DX7. But they won't play in your browser, so we still have a tactical edge.

What ever!!! So wierd! Do they have a line output or mini speakers??
I really wish they had line output. SO much. But they have a speaker somewhere inside the unit, not visible from the exterior, not even on the back...
