Atari Punk Console
Posted: Thu May 19, 2011 2:41 pm
Greetings Dubbers and Diy-boys & girls!
here is some links to build an easy sound box called the "atari punk console", easely adaptable as a dubsiren and cheapprice cause not much components!
i made the mine in two days... same chips than the munky lee siren but diferent circuitry and different settings...so sounds different too...
on this page you'll find lots of links,history and schematics:
http://sync24.wordpress.com/tag/atari-punk-console/
and the lfo circutry: http://www.mikmo.dk/cblfo.html, plugged in the pin 5 of the APC 555 chips...with a switch to connect it in the first 555 or in the second one....
this LFO is a square wave form i read that it's easy to turn it into triangle wave form, it's interesting for a dub siren to have both waveforms switchable
On the basic APC circutry, i replaced the 1K resistor with a 100K pot, it gives you another interesting pitch control. Also the 0,01Uf cap acts like a "sweep range", if you replace it by a 0,1, you'll sweep more in the bass. i've putted a switch 0,1/0,01....works well with 0,047 too...
a volume pot can be added following this circuit: http://shybones.blogspot.com/2008/12/at ... -555s.html
and this is the one i built in action:

now you know what's the APC aka Atari Punk Console....as I....
Peace & Dub.
