DESCRIPTION: Up for auction is Dr. Blankenstein's Atari Punk Console Deluxe v1.0 "Atari 2600". Pretty much a super Atari stylized APC with a bunch of tricked out features. There is a photo theremin style motion / light sensors to control the sound, as well as a control switch to use a classic APC knob setup.
To add even more weird control to this sucker I have added FIVE BODY contacts that allow for some pretty cool sound manipulation (see video below). The middle one is connected to a low voltage germanium diode distortion circuit, this is a mod I haven't seen on many other Atari Punk Consoles.
There is also a 1/8" Control Voltage (C.V.) Input so that it can be sequenced with an analog sequencer or even modulate the sound by connecting a piezo trigger to it... fun stuff!
The case is build of strong, built to last ABS plastic. The graphics were taken from the Atari 2600, stylized to make the box look almost like a mini game unit. People seem to really dig the faux wood sides, I would have to agree. ;)Make sure to check out the video and pictures bellow...
