Pro Geek Creates And Reviews His Own iPad Thingy

When it comes to using my iPad, I tend to stick to game apps, web surfing, and reading. One geek by the name of VJ Franz K has designed his own iPad musical thingy that he has dubbed the Mantaray iTar. The setup is a musical board that takes the iPad and turns it into a musical instrument using off the shelf apps and some other gadgets.

The white board is roughly guitar shaped and has a place in the middle for securely holding the iPad on a rubberized base with four rubberized clips to keep it in place without scratching. Arrayed around the iTar is a Kaoss Pad and some other tech.

The main app that the device uses on the iPad is Aurora Sound Studio. The dude isn't offering up a how to on building the Mantaray iTar, but he will sell you one. The thing also doubles as a DJ pad with a scratch application. Check out the video below.
