"Originally designed by DIY electronics guru Forrest Mims III as the "Stepped Tone Generator," the Atari Punk Console is one of the most famous and recognizable Lo-Fi synth circuits ever. Using a single 556 dual timer IC with minimal part count, the Atari Punk Console circuit is a solid, time-tested noise generator capable of outrageous Square wave madness!
The Atari Punk Console PCB is designed at Synthrotek and manufactured to high-quality specs in the USA!
Features
Use a 9V battery or an AC Adapter rated at 5-12V 200mA Center Negative polarity (adapter not included).
DC Jack allows for power switching so that battery power is only enabled when there is no AC Adapter plugged in.
CV input allows step sequencers and waveform generators to expand the sonic capabilities of the Atari Punk Console from drone to arpeggio-like dynamism.
Use any variable voltage source from 0-Supply Voltage for some glitchy goodness!
3 potentiometer controls Pulse, Width, and Frequency contour the tone while the Volume control sets your output just right.
The two-way switch powers the unit on or off.
Uses 1/4" instrument jacks."
"The micro Phasemonger is a 4 stage Phaser. The stages are controlled by a high frequency VCO. Underclocking the VCO causes an aliasing effect similar to that of bit crushing. I haven't seen any other manufacturer do this with their phaser designs so I'm claiming mine as a world first. ;)
"Here's another teaser for my Micro Phasemonger which will be available March 2012.
The design is a totally new take on Phase shifting. It's all analog and no DSP, yet with the aliasing mode it can be hard to convince non believers. Only 4 phase stages but the range "sounds" greater. The MK1 and MK2 will have plenty more stages.
In this demo I ran my 'Fuzzbender' prototype pedal/kit through the µPhasemonger. It was hard to play anything but simple notes and chords on the guitar because I had to hold the phone to take video, sorry in advanced if anyone was expecting more crazy guitar licks =^.^= I will have a lengthy video in the feature demoing every lil' sound this gnarly pedal can give out.
There will be two knobs for "Rate" and "Resonance" and two toggle switches for 'mix' and 'Aliasing'."
"This video is a teaser demo showing the normal phase shifting and the "aliased" phase shifting. Aliasing effect is achieved through underclocking.
4 phase stages with a bit of resonance. The controls will be Modulation knob routed to a toggle switch that selects manual or LFO, a Resonance knob, and another toggle switch that switches between normal or aliasing. There is also an exp/cv input for the phase shifting.
This is all analog, no DSP or coding done.
******************* The hissing is from either the phone case or ambient noise and NOT the pedal, which is extremely quiet."
"This video demonstrates the updated aliasing and resonance settings."
Weirding Module - Feedback and other goodies
Uploaded by synthmonger on Nov 22, 2011
"Ton of stuff going on in this demo. Mostly feeding the saw or triangle wave into the linear or 1v/o inputs with aliasing on or off. Feeding the triangle wave into the linear input gives a more logarithmic slope to the waves. It also affects the VCF into a weird kind of aliasing or "triangular sloping"
Feeding the VCO waves into the VCF audio input don't always give the best results, since the VCF frequency knob also determines the vco frequency, but certain settings can be fun."
"Self-oscillating with aliasing mode switched on and an external oscillator syncing the VCO. The stepped sounds are from the oscillator syncing with the vco."

"These are all custom modules of my design with the exception of the awesome CGS Sequential switch. Originally I was going to resize the panels to fit Eurorack standards but that would leave a lil over 4x5 of unused metal, so each panel has two modules squished together.
These panels will not be for sale but I do plan on releasing euro-rack standard modules as soon as possible for purchase."
YouTube via synthmonger "My friend Devon is playing an SG that's running through Pulsemonger plugged directly into soundcard.
Don't worry the original Pulsemonger has not been completely discontinued. I'm redesigning it in a larger case to better accommodate all the controls as well as adding some new ones."
YouTube via synthmonger "The Pulsemonger takes an input signal and converts it to a pulsewave that also has a mixable sub-octave pulsewave. Both pulse octaves pulsewidth/duty cycle are variable from about 5% to 50%. There is an on-board variable shape triangular LFO that can modulate both pulses simultaneously. Chorus/vibrato/tremelo/synth fuzz and other crazy noises can be had with this pedal. Thanks to Danny of 'The Jameses' for playing guitar while I fiddled with the knobs.
YouTube via synthmonger "The design is based off Korg's PS3300 Resonators. I use just resistors, diodes, capacitors and CMOS chips. No vactrols, op amps or transistors.
Audio signal is my casio VL-1 The frequency of each filter is being modulated by a slow triangle LFO I adjust the master VC resonance control three times. PCB for the project will be available at my etsy store, as well as completed modules."
4 VCO's each with different frequencies
2 Envelope Followers (non cmos)
Decay Generator (non cmos)
Nyquist Aliaser
3 1 of 2 voltage control switches
mixer (non cmos)
Multiples/adapters
Sub-oscillator/harmonic sequencer
In this video the VL-1 drum beat is going through the EF. The EF gate output is triggering the SO/HS and the decay generator, its envelope is cving VCO 1 (its triangle output is in the mixer). VCO 2 (square wave output being used) is running through the VCA which is being controlled by the decay generator. VCO 4 is being CV'd by the all-mix output of the HO/HS and it's output is syncing VCO1.
Oh and the VL-1 drum output is in the mixer too. After some knob twiddling I cut it from the mix.
Next mini-modular is going to be completely CMOS."
A little Serge influence on the look and interface.
YouTube via synthmonger "I'm too tired to work on it right now but not tired enough to make a quick video demo of my vco.
Ideally, I am going for a vco with a huge range, temperature compensation, to work as a great audio and control source while maintaining a low cost.
Due to the amount of options the main portion will be on 42HP eurorack. Later I will add other panels that will act as adapters to get even more out of this -they can also be used by external sources so they won't be proprietary.
I'm coming close to finishing and hopefully it will be completed this week! ;D"
YouTube via synthmonger "This is a quick demo of my Pulse Monger pedal. A limited run of the Pulse Mongers will include an internal LFO. Later versions won't but I plan on building a control processor (that's very different than Moog's) to make up for that. ;D
Here is a description of what's going on in the video
00:19 Fundamental pulse width knob is turned from fully CCW to fully CW and back again. 00:50 Mix knob goes from full Fundamental all the way to full sub-octave 00:59 Sub-octave pulse width is turned from fully CCW to CW and back again 01:15 Blend knob is set to noon (equal fundamental and sub-octave mix) 01:24 Fundamental and sub-octave pulse width knobs are adjusted from CCW to CW and back again. 02:54 Different settings are played with 03:38 The LFO is introduced at a standard triangle wave at a slow speed then high. LFO is then set to falling ramp wave from slow to fast speed, then the shape is set to rising ramp wave from slow to fast speed. Different settings are then played with.
Thanks to Leon Burnside for testing it out! ;D
**Extra notes** This pedal has a high Overdrive type gain while it remains very quite. No background hiss or that mumbo jumbo.
The sub-octave tracks best with non-buzzy pickups. A perfectly clean line level signal sounds best.
The sub octave is great for solos and so-so for chords. Only strings parallel to one another come out clean. Otherwise it'll rattle and rumble like all non-digital octave pedals.
If you're after a truly unique fuzzy, synthy, squarey, polyphonicy and sub-octavey pedal then stay tuned as I'll have these in production soon!"
Mods = Extended range on VCO, Decay, LFO, individual outputs and master output with attenuators, individual and master CV input with attenuators for VCO and VCA.
CV input is 0-5V. The trigger is an envelope follower and amplitude remains high as long as the gate signal is high."
