"Atari Punk Console AKA Forrest Mims' Stepped Tone Generator.

I built this atari punk console into a little blue plastic box I found by the side of the road, left on a damp table of junk left over from a rained out yard sale. Can anyone tell me what it is? I want more.

It fits nicely in the palm of your hand, with your thumb on the trigger. The lower knob is pitch, the upper controls the "steps" or "range". I added a 1/4 inch line out.

I put a little speaker on the top so you can play it "on the go", and the ultra bright LED pulsates in time, setting the whole box off.

White Owl (Circuit Bent Tube Screamer) and SK-1

YouTube via 3rdness
"Deeeelicious!

This is a tube screamer that i've added a few pots on and a photo theremin. Now, in addition to the tasty original sound, it produces a variety of overdrives, oscillating tones, ring mods, and sound crunchies. Rehoused in a "White owl" cigar box.

It also can be used as a stand alone synth. I'll post another video of that.

Details:
"Atari Punk Console AKA Forrest Mims' Stepped Tone Generator.
What a fantastic stocking stuffer!
I built this atari punk console into a metal American Spirit cigarette pack. I tweaked the circuit for extra tasty bass. It fits nicely in the palm of your hand, with your thumb on the trigger. The lower knob is pitch, the upper controls the "steps" or "range". I added a 1/4 inch line out. I put a little speaker in the bottom so you can play it "on the go" (though it is small and fairly thin sounding). The LED at the end of his pipe is ultra bright. This video shows me playing it through a boomerang delay/looping pedal. Runs on 1 9 volt battery"

Circuit Bent Radical Rhythm Guitar with two LFOs - part 1

YouTube via 3rdness.
"In addition to a monster pitch bend, this has two LFO's - one triggering sounds and one modulating the pitch. Both are modeled on the 555 timer LFO from Casper Electronics (one hell of a site).

"This is one of those excellent cheap circle drum toys rehoused in an old Coleco "electronic quarterback" game. Made for Beastie Boy Adrock.

I had to build a whole new set of buttons behind the original ones because they were so shitty. They're still loud as hell though.

circuit bent yamaha PSR-11 and Danelectro fab echo

YouTube via 3rdness. Synth lobotomy.
"Instead of adding connections where they shouldn't be, this kind of bend cuts the connections between the FM chip and the main processing chip.

By withholding data transfer between the chips, you can mix-up the sounds and preset rhythms and make them do some pretty messed up junk.

The D-LAY is a modded Danelectro Fab Echo. The chip they use has much greater function than they let you access. If you circumvent their hindrances, you can get a really cool, fully functional delay for under $20.
