Herre from Holland spent 3 whole days creating this incarnation of the Atari Punk Console circuit in an actual Atari Mouse case. It features touch contacts for pitch changes and knobs for wobbly controls. No website yet just an image, however it goes to show that anything can be turned into a sound making gizmo.
And it comes with its own integrated cable!
Does anyone know who coined the phrase Atari Punk Console?
Not sure who coined it, but its been used for a few years atleast. I think that it just sort of stuck with the circuit.
I believe it was Kaustic Machines:

Question: I’m a bit of a beginner on the homemade electronics that make sounds – I tried making a photosensitive theramin(*sp), but that bombed pretty quick. I want to make an APC, but is there a way to pass input sound (say, from a guitar or keyboard) to this circuit in a way that the sound will be altered to produce the desired tone but also a series of beeps, boops and blips?
Kind of. The 555 chips have something called Control Voltage, its a pin number 5. If you pass the a signal to it, you will converting your signal to a square wave more less. The results may vary with different input signals, but its worth experimenting with. Cheers.
hi people do you can help me for this
