Modelling Competition? ;-)

I think "Hypno Toad" from Futurama would be a really good sound to try to model!

Creases me up[1] everytime I see/hear it.

I've got a few ideas where to start...saw wave, slow gentle pitch moulation (around abouts a few hertz), some distortion, perhaps a little phase variation...

If any experienced modellers have any additional thoughts/tips, or have enough time on their hands to have a go - the more the merrier!

[1] - slang for "makes me laugh"

What does that sound like?

I'd love to hear a sound that would make me slack (crease me up)

Apparently, it's spelt "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

yeah, man i remember the hypnotoad now

sounds like some kind of sonic hacksaw cutting through inch plate like butter, with some rattly cutlery in the top end. nice.

i love unassuming things with dirty fat sounds
