Dub Step Arcade Now Available

Kits are now available at The Magic Mess

"The Dub~Step~Arcade console is an analogue square wave synthesiser based around two popular oscillator circuit’s, Firstly the dub-siren which is simply a pitch that rises and falls in relation to the speed and wave-shape of an LFO (low frequency oscillator), and secondly the stepped tone generator by Forrest Mims (Known as the Atari punk console) hence the name Dub Step Arcade!
The design also incorporates basic synthesiser features such as Attack-Decay Envelope generator and LFO Modulator.



The Dub~step~arcade is available as a D-I-Y kit for you to build yourself. All The electronic components as well as pots,knobs, switches and jack sockets are provided for the following controls
1 ~ main oscillator pitch control
2 ~ modulation depth with LFO-(square/triangle) or AD gen select
3 ~ steps control with lfo-square/triangle modulation select
4 ~ attack and decay envelope generator with fire and auto repeat
5 ~ LFO modulator with speed control with square / triangle wave-shapes
6 ~ VCA level control with manual constant setting or A/D gen source select
7 ~ Control voltage input (controls the main oscillators frequency)
8 ~ Trigger input (envelope can be triggered by external sequencer)
9 ~ 9V battery or 9V power option

The kit comes with the ability to be powered by either battery or by 9Vdc from a transformer (with a 500ma rating). The design has a voltage regulator (9v) to protect against wrong polarity and as voltage supply effects pitch and volume. I recommend using rechargeable battery's or transformer supply as the current consumption can be quite high so battery life is short."
