VJ and music producer Simulcast from Brisbane, Australia:
I recently built my own tagtool (I’ve never soldered or put together anything electronic before!) and after lots of fiddling around, I have a cool working model. I used pots instead of sliders and after tweaking a few values inside nodekit I managed to get it working great. I’ve attached two pics, because of the knobs I think it should almost be a tagtool micro
An interesting new take on making the Tagtool a real performer’s instrument.
Made by Dave aka ibnutty, who will demonstrate the Tagtool at SIGGRAPH 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center:

From Andy Woods, who built himself a real beauty of a Tagtool Mini:
I am an artist living in East Tennessee, in the US. I just wanted to thank you for making the tagtool open source and enabling people like me to take art to new levels and places. Using your tutorials I was able to build a Tagtool of my own an I have attached a couple of photos of it.
Before this project I had ZERO electronics experience, but because of your inspiration I have learned a lot. Thank You!
When Kate visited us to build herself a Tagtool Mini, we took pictures and wrote up a tutorial.
Enjoy, and send us pictures if you make one!
We published a step-by-step guide on how to build your own Tagtool Suitcase on Instructables.com - check it out.
Workshop @ Planet Prozess, Berlin
