The “Atari Punk Console” uses a 556 dual timer IC and a handful of other components - and was originally published by Forest Mims III. You can find instructions and a schematic here. One Oscillator is light controled, and touch points control of the second. This has an internal speaker and 386 amp. I had an hour or two to kill, and I was between other projects so put this together on a stayed there for a while til I decided to box it up. One of those easy noise maker circuits I never got around to making. The previous life of this 'boombox' was a Sirius Satellite radio docking station. Two 386 amps and built in speakers, also stereo line out. oscillators, two MFOS WSG filters, Oscillator 'synch' or normal is switchable on each osc. I built it all on a bit of perfboard and mounted it in a good sized project box. I Also added psuedo Ring modulator based on the 4011 and I added a bit of circuit so I could synch the oscillators together. I added two filters copied amost directly from Ray Wilson's WSG I used the simplest oscillators on earth - the 40106 schmidt trigger. This Drone machine is simply four oscillators that can be tuned together, or in a harmony. La Monte Young, one of its 1960s originators, defined it as "the sustained tone branch of minimalism". It is typically characterized by lengthy audio programs with relatively slight harmonic variations throughout each piece compared to other musics.

I decided to build it up for inclusion in the modular.Īccording to Wikipedia "Drone music" is a minimalist musical style that emphasizes the use of sustained or repeated sounds, notes, or tone-clusters - called drones.

I found this folded spring reverb tank when I dismantled an old Kimball organ.
