* Popular Fanon has [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Vinyl]] [[FanNickname Scratch]] build and use a "bass cannon", a huge set of speakers that fire a WaveMotionGun-like beam of pure dubstep.

* The original version of ''AstroBoy'''s Artificial Sun, a giant, floating, octopus-like robot that generates massive amounts of heat, was controlled by playing a keyboard.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'': Vegnagun's controls are a massive keyboard.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Loom}}'' many actions, properties and abilities (to name a few: opening, night vision, invisibility, sharpness, green color) are reflected as sequences of notes ("drafts") on the magical distaff. When spellweavers play the notes, they duplicate the effect. Oh, and [[ReversePolarity playing a draft backwards]] gives the opposite effect. This gives the game its unique interface: to perform any action beyond simple goto/pick/examine the hero has to learn the correct draft from somewhere and play it.
