Handmade Electronic Instruments


Square Wave Machine from Michael Rucci on Vimeo.


"This is a square wave oscillator with a LFO built into a vintage soothing sound machine.

Originally built by Marsona it looks original from the outside, although it has been completely rebuilt inside. The selector is now simply an on/off switch, volume is still volume, tone is now pitch, and surf rate and range are now now the LFO rate and range.

Atari Paddle Light Synth from Michael Rucci on Vimeo.


"handmadeelectronicinstruments.com

This is a light controlled square-wave generator with a pulsing effect, hand built into an Atari paddle controller. These were originally built by Gemini for the Atari system. Pitch is controlled by a light sensor, speed is controlled by the knob, and the trigger is power. At high speeds you can get some interesting throaty sounds. For more precise control and wider pitch range experiment with different light sources.
A red LED pulses with the sound. It can easily be connect to amps, effects, recording equipment, etc. At the end of the original cord is a 1/4" plug and running from there is a wall adapter for power.

Limited to 4"
