The Google Doodle's interactive capabilities are based on HTML5. On my PC, the Synth is only a pretty picture, with no interactive capabilities. Today's Doodle is meant to be a nice demonstration of the capabilities of HTML5, and a nice marketing tool for directing Googlers to "upgrade to a modern browser."
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser_comparison#HTML5_support): Internet Explorer is way behind in HTML5 support, with even IE-9 passing a woeful 138 of 500 HTML5 test points. Safari, Chrome, Maxthon, Midori, FireFox, Opera, Qupzilla, and Web are all substantially ahead, scoring at least 300. I just checked my own browser (Internet Explorer 8) via the Wiki-link (http://html5test.com/), and scored a whopping 42/500. No wonder it doesn't work.
