"In this short vid. I'm giving a small demonstration of a patch that I had made using my new noise machine Lunetta 11's 2 panels:
STAN (dedicated to Stanley Lunetta. The originator of Lunetta synths.) contains:
- 4 x CD4093 Schmitt Trigger NAND Gate oscillators
- 4 x CD4070 XOR Gates

JACK (dedicated to my dad. R.I.P. :( ) contains
- 2 x CD4024 7 BIT Clock Dividers, chained together as a 14 BIT Clock Divider
- 1 x CD4094 8 BIT Shift Register with XORable Clock and XORable Data inputs

Using various combinations of oscillators, XOR Gates, the Clock Dividers and the Shift Regster - quite a number of sounds are obtainabled. ;)

The next panel LESLIE (dedicated to Canadian actor Leslie Nielson (R.I.P.) and bassist / vocalist extrodinaire from Primus - Les Claypool) will more than likely contain:
- 2 x 3 input AC coupled audio mixers
- 4 x active AC attenuators (for changing volume levels)
- 3 x CD4023 Pulse Width Oscillators
- 3 x CD4053 SPDT switches, each with Voltage Control"
