So this week still no new stories for you, but instead I’ll post some old stuff you haven’t seen yet. It’s a custom made Atari Punk Console I built and painted some time ago. For those of you who don’t know what an Atari Punk Console is: it’s a simple DIY synth circuit also known as the Stepped Tone Generator more about it here on getlofi.com [...] [...] Seems like I was a bit too otpimistic when I said the hard times where over… they hadn’t begun yet.

I had some issues due to operator error (yes, I screwed up a few times) but I had fun doing it! I agree with CM in the original post that finding a cool and interesting container/case was the best part... and then playing of course. Here are some pics of my unit. I still want to do some paint/art and fix the LEDs. Note that my build contains parts from the Deluxe kit too (on/off switch, LEDs). Photos of the built unit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alienmeatsack/sets/72157623092266847/ And 2 videos of it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtTVE36e3O0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XID6reILql8 I was almost as beginner as you could get when I started. I made some stupid mistakes, but I gotta tell ya, CM came thru, sent me new parts as needed, etc. I have a 2nd kit (Deluxe) at home that is in a state of "what's wrong with it?" that I am going to pull apart and build out next. Woot! I just completed my build of this kit yesterday. I had some issues due to operator error (yes, I screwed up a few times) but I had fun doing it!

Check out these Properboy videos he explains it a little bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2sEPoOK4GY MIDI to APC is possible, you do need a MIDI to CV converter of some sort though.

I just watched a youtube video - One of my pots (the one that does NOT alter the pitch - but does the glitch stuff) doesn't seem to work right. It has a very small pitch variation during the first millimeters and very little (almost none) glitch/noise effect throughout the rest of the potentiometer. Could it be a cold solder point? any hints? another question!

Its switching so when you plug something in it is supposed to disconnect the speaker. Because you have it backwards, it disconnects the APC signal. Please double check that. It should be fairly clear if you follow the wires and see the jack going in. Cheers. I would bet that you wired the output jack backwards.

I wired exactly as shown on the provided schematic?!
