"How to turn a cheap Velleman LED kit into a simple eight-note analogue voltage sequencer for a synthesizer, WSG etc. The whole thing could be built for under £10 and has a novel function for playing subsets of the selected notes for 'related' arpeggios. This electronic music project comes to you from the bench of Mirlitronics, Inc., suppliers of low-tech gadgetry to "The Mirlitrons" - check us out on iTunes."

The Mighty Mirlitzer YT

"The Mighty Mirlitzer is a Music From Outer Space 'Sound Lab' synthesizer enhanced with a MFOS sample and hold (with glide) and a simple 4017-based sequencer as programmers. The construction highlight is the case which I picked up for $3 at the Dayton Hamvention flea market a couple of years ago. It was just waiting for the synthesizer to be built in it.

The Mighty Mirlitzer will feature in forthcoming music by The Mirlitrons (www.myspace.com/themirlitrons)."

The Panic Box

"The Panic Box is a prototype audio effect, designed specifically with theremins in mind, although it can be applied to any electronic instrument - particularly those that generate continuously variable pitches."
