"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!

Features:

Low part count = easy build for beginners!
Dual power supplies: use a 9V battery or save money on batteries with an AC Adapter rated at 5-12V 200mA Center Positive polarity. DC Jack allows for power switching so that battery power is only enabled when there is no AC Adapter plugged in.
Control Voltage (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 Atari Punk Console PCB is designed here at Synthrotek and manufactured to high-quality specs by our friends at Imagineering here in the USA! Silkscreen layer helps you place components onto the Atari Punk Console PCB with minimal effort.

The Atari Punk Console Bare-Bones Kit includes everything that you'll need to build your very own APC !

Check out the Assembly Instructions for detailed instructions, troubleshooting, and ways to mod your circuit in amazing ways! For a list of parts, go to the Atari Punk Console BOM"

don preston - filters, oscillators & envelopes 1967-75 (album preview)



"Excerpts from the album. Now available at Experimedia.net. LP version. Previously-unreleased electronic music from original The Mothers Of Invention keyboardist, Don Preston. 'We're coming to the beginning of a new era wherein the development of the inner-self is the most important thing. We have to train ourselves so that we can improvise on anything: a bird, a sock, a fuming beaker. This, too, can be music. Anything can be music.' --Don Preston, extracts from Uncle Meat, 1969, The Mothers Of Invention
One could hardly not see in Don Preston a key musician within Frank Zappa's oeuvre. He is not only that, but his presence has marked The Mothers' major records from 1966 to 1974. His touch was already there before the arrival of Ian Underwood, and it continued after Ian left. You all remember 'King Kong' (its magnificence as interpreted by Dom DeWild) from the second Uncle Meat suite. A certain form of jubilation emanates from this track, thanks to Preston's fluid style and lightly astringent tone on the Moog synthesizer -- that instrument never sounded quite like that before or after. This might have to do with his double training, his twin interests, since he had been simultaneously working with Gil Evans and listening intensely to Luciano Berio, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Tod Dockstader. Immersed in jazz music, he was imagining secret ties with the nascent electronic music. In the mid-'60s, Preston started developing an electronic instrument, using a home-made synthesizer and a series of oscillators and filters. Out of this instrument came 'Electronic Music' (1967), his first piece. Two years later, he became a close friend of Robert Moog, and their discussions gave birth to a number of applications in relation with the flexibility of the instrument. Nowadays, you can't mention the Mini-Moog without thinking of Preston. Bob Moog himself said about his solo in "Waka/Jawaka": "That's impossible. You can't do that on a Moog." Filters, Oscillators & Envelopes features the other side, the hidden side of Don Preston: the composer of purely electronic music.

Don Preston and Dr. Patrick Gleeson where scheduled to be live at Analogue Haven in 2007. I don't believe I ever saw pics or video of the events. At least I'm not quickly finding any. If anyone knows, feel free to comment or shoot me an email.

Doctor Who Theme on eight floppy drives

I've been extremely busy the last month or so. First my computer died on me, then finals, then work, and on top of that most of my family moved away to India. So sorry for the delay in videos. I'm still preoccupied, but I hope to be able to start putting videos up again.

This was highly requested from long ago so I hope you guys enjoy it. I've really thought about how I record my audio and what has sounded good over the past videos. I combined those elements as best I could.

I don't have two microphones of equal quality, so I recorded the left four and right four drives separately and pushed the audio to their respective side. I then recorded all eight and put it through a low pass filter and a small bass boost. I think the resulting mix of the three tracks sounds the best. It takes a lot more time to record and edit, but I thought it was worth it. Let me know what you think.

Oh and I also started a FaceBook page. Haven't really built it out yet, but I'll get to it."

4MS Atoner Eurorack Synth Module

via this auction

via the listing: "How do I begin to describe this rare module?

The Eurorack Atoner is a highly flexible and rather unusual module that can:

Create quantized melodies tuned to an input frequency)
Generate poly-rhythmic clock/trigger outputs)
Pitch shift audio/CV downwards based on harmonic intervals
also act as a general purpose CV mixer with offset.
provide distortion/bit-crusher style effects when fed external audio

Harmonics are extracted from an on-board oscillator or external audio signal and outputed as audio or clock pulses. The Position knob sets the cut-off frequency, under which all frequencies will be stepped downwards along a harmonic sequence (octaves, 5ths, 3rds, etc) all the way to sub-audible clicking sounds. Thus, a scale or clock signal can be generated from a single tone. Two CV inputs and their respective +/- Vary Amount knobs modulate the Position cut-off. The mix of the two CV inputs plus the Position knob is outputted on a CV jack, and another CV output jack provides a steady +10V clock pulse that is jumper-selectable to be a clock division of the audio output (/1, /2, /32, /64, or non-linear division). The Eurorack Atoner consumes 60mA of power and occupies 16 H. P. of space."
