Squidfanny - 'Trance-Gate' Yamaha PSS-100 Bleepy Squarewaver

"hum.... I wonder what my DIY sequencer circuit will sound like in a Bleepy old PSS-100?

AH, bleepy and analog. Lovely.

The PSS-100 is a great old machine from the late 80's, with bleepy analog squarewaves and rhythms. I've hacked into the clock and the output volume, to provide sequenced modulation with my 4017 DIY sequencer circuit.

Spring loaded toggle switches on the right of the machine provide Glitch & Random waveforms, which can be modulated with the sequencer circuit. Just wobble the switches around and the machine will generate a random phrase, corrupted nugget of rhythm or a complex analog waveform.
The sequencer has a GATE track which mutes / un-mutes the master volume. This includes a GATE length knob & and INVERT switch. The PITCH track has an AMOUNT knob (pitch-up & pitch-down) and a DECAY knob.

It will also SYNC. with other gear, such as a MONOTRIBE

Go Analog!

This one's going up for sale, because I ballsed up the paintwork on the keys."
