"The !Malfunctionator was designed to be a handy UFO dector dubbling up as a Electro Music Device to assist in the making of creative electro music. It consists of 3 oscillators each modulated by 3 low frequency oscillators see the signal path. The oscillators are based around the hex invertor IC known as CD40106 aka 7HC04 , the wave froms produced from this logic device are trapazoid . This modulator to oscillator combination allows the user to create a wide range of sounds. Play it alongside with your synthesizers, isolate the sounds in your wave mapper and create a new 'synth' in your sampler, incorperate into your modular system or tweek it out and box it up as the ultimate noize unit, whatever you do , with the clear high ends and dirty fat low ends the !Malfunctionator is the perfect electro tool at the same time keeping a close ear on UFO activity."
"Constructing the !Malfunctionator is easy, fun and quick. Solder the listed components into their correct place shown on the board. Align the diodes, capacitors, ICs and LEDs. For ease of construction solder by height, start from the smaller components (the resistors, ICs, diodes etc) then the larger components (capacitors transistors etc).Trim the ends after you solder.Solder wires to the pots and LED indcators. Refer to the schematic for troubleshooting and modifications. When complete pop it a box and power it up either with a 9v battery cell or connect it to a power supply of some sort that delivers a DC voltage of 5VDC - 15VDC , 9VDC recomended. Then connect it to your Starship control console and start tracking aliens with your new Electro Music Device -The !Malfunctionator."

Remember the Leipzig? It looks like a keyboard version is coming. Note the rack version is currently in stock. via Analog Solutions.
