"Behold my wrath: the bloodcurdling terror that is The Banshee Box. This uses a single Quad NAND Gate chip (retail cost: 30 cents). Its four oscillators are patched into each other, and controlled by the four knobs on the right. On the left is a volume slider. I built the case from tinted acrylic that was salvaged from a piece of discarded furniture. Most of the other parts were bought surplus, keeping the cost of this synth under four dollars."

"A synth built around a Quad NAND Gate with four oscillators cascading into each other, and controlled by the four knobs on the right, from top to bottom. So the pitch is set by the top knob, then that goes into the oscillator below it to control filter cutoff, and so on. On the left is a volume slider. Case is built from 3/16" tinted acrylic that glows like mad under a black light. 1/8" audio out. toggle switch for power. Runs on a 9-volt battery (not included)."

Created a new stexe label for these.
