I've been playing off and on (literally) with Google's recent Moog Synthesizer doodle. While I think it lacks a bit as a musical instrument (though it does play a mean Dr. Who theme) what's interesting about it is the way it demonstrates the way different controls have an impact on the sound. Though I think the educational aspects could be a bit more out there - I'm still not clear on what "attack', 'decay' and 'sustain' mean. Though help like this video helps. The doodle could also be a bit clearer about where files are saved - a lot of the recording URLs simply open up my google.com search page, and not the recording at all.
