[DIY] SciFi Robot CMOS VCO


YouTube via lastkidontheblock. via this auction

"A little description for international bidders:
The SciFi Robot is a Squarewave VCO with a rudimentary control voltage input. There is one potentiometer for the pitch and one for timbre control (duty cycle). You can also change the pitch with the bodycontacts. You can plug sequencers, midi2cv, etc. into the "CV-In" of the scifi robot, but it is not accurate like a professional VCO (no 1V/octave). You can also plug every active signal of a drumcomputer, synthesizer, computer, mp3-player, etc into the CV-input. So you can use it as fx-device in the effectloop of your mixer.
So you can change every active soundsignal into a squarewave-signal. The output of a drumcomputer will sound like the backgroundmusic in your favorite NES jump 'n run game. But this is just my subjectively estimate. Just listen to the samples! The Robot is powered by one 9v Battery." See this site for more info in German, and YouTube for more vids.
