Bug Clocked Lunetta

"More Lunetta noises (not loud enough!) being driven by a single clock, with a twist!

My slow 40106 drives the CV in of the 'Woggle Clock' on the breadboard. Inspired by Grant Richters use of a vactrol controlled 555 timer at the heart of the Wogglebug, I've adapted that part of the '#3' cct. for use with a home made LED+LDR in black tape vactrol. The output of the 555 is buffered with a Ken Stone Gate / Trigger cct. using the LM358N instead of a TL072.

You can kinda see / hear it work when I turn the pots, basic speed is controlled by one pot adjusting the amount of light going to the LDR, one pot adds the signal from the CV input.

I like that slow squarewaves going into the CV input create a crude burst generator, with lots of light during the on cycle of the waveform you get fast clock, then slow clock with no light during the off cycle,

Very fun with Lunetta Logic Processing (patent pending)

The finished module will have CV Input, CV Amount Pot, Speed Pot, Trigger Output / LED & Clock Output.

And yes, I really do need a better spot to hook these things up! Really need to clear some space."
