The Dual Atari Punk Console - crunchy lo-fi sounds with a feline touch

video upload by CatSynth TV

"We have a little fun (ok, a lot of fun) with our feline-themed Dual Atari Punk Console module from Tear Apart Tapes. In addition the cat face with LED eyes, it includes two independent APC circuits, each with their own 556 timer and CV inputs for frequency and pulse width. We can also cross-modulate the two APCs for some crunchy chaotic chip-tune madness.

The Atari Punk Console is a simple synthesizer circuit based on two 555 timer ICs (or one 556 dual timer IC). The circuit features an astable square wave oscillator driving a monostable oscillator that creates a single (square) pulse. There are two controls, one for the frequency of the oscillator and one for the width of the pulse.
