you should post a tutorial on this one. i'd really like to see how you're doing this. the apc is configured in so many different ways, i'd like to see your set up and how you run it.
In your chain from the guitar have your overdrive/distortion then a boost pedal feeding into an amp head and then your apc from the amp to a filter and a compressor with a chorus effect to the speaker!
there are two CV inputs on the 556 chip. just wire hot (tip) of the guitar input to one of those. sorry the site is down, godaddy was hosting it and they are a ripoff. may put something up again this year. cheers, steve
How high do you have to boost your guitar signal before plugging into it? Are you using a regular mixing or a guitar pedal volume booster or overdrive pedal? At 2:12 it sounds awesome.
3 is output, 5 is control voltage --- try using pin 5 as an input for your guitar and see how it works. If you were to connect an AF source to pin 5 you'd hear it through the output pseudo modulated. Usually pin 5 is decoupled with a small value capacitor, but you can use it as an input. Obviously a preamp should be used with guitars but you get the idea...
hey man, yeah just boosting the signal enough to drive the CV input. the sozo cap just adds a bit of mojo. definitely not necessary, but adds a little more funk to the build so i include them on all my mimms builds.
I will do anything to find out how to make my own!!! do you think it would be at all possible to point me in the right direction here please? Any articles or instructables on the topic would be amazing if you could find the time.
If you had foot or on the guitar control over thé fréquency of thé apc (and why not add lp with cutoff too) ..it would very expressive and singing :) , don't you think? (Maybe use diy bend sensor pot instead or plus the rotative ones and stick them to your arms or other..)
try using a wah pedal rocker for one of the a.p.c. controls so you can control it while playing guitar at the same time, maybe even 1 different pedal for each control
Suggestion: It would be interesting to add circuitry so you can vary how much APC modulated noise passes through vs. how much normal guitar noise passes through IE: have the guitar sound pass through alongside the the APC modulated sound and have seperate volume for each, essentially mixing the two sounds together.
Nick Hodder Yes, a wet/dry mix would be great. Also a way to keep the circuit from droning all the time, as in you only hear the pedal when the guitar is giving it a signal.
Very cool man, I'm just a bit confused about how the APC's frequency matches that of the guitar... are you using the output voltage of your guitar as the clock for the timer?
i know what you mean, but you can always expand on this work. i am at my workbench right now trying to make a .50 cent sound chip sound like a 50,000 buchla :-)
Hey properboy. This pedal mod to the Atari Punk Console is truly genius on your part man. I was planning on getting the Synthrotek Atari Punk Console Bare Bones Kit off of Ebay myself. How would I go about making it like yours, so that it works with a guitar running through it and out to my guitar amp? Could you email me back through youtube and let me know how? I would really appreciate it. Thanks man.
Does it matter which input you wire it to? I.E. does one control pitch and the other something else? I'm thinking of building one, but adding a small 2w amp circuit (with volume control) between the 1/4" in and the console as a kind of CV "sensitivity" knob.
so you are playing through a CV input on the 556? Any other mods needed to get it to work? And how would you describe the Sozo cap changes the sound? Nice build man ;)
To me, specifically a fart from outer space, people would study it for years! Hey, but you should consider figuring out how to make it cut off the sound when no sound is going into it, and have it a feature more than an ad-in that way you could switch it between Atari Punk and Guitar Pedal, or it could double up as a constant sound sample test for when your not sure which noise you want for the guitar, than turn the noise back onto the limiter.
just some mojo i guess, i prefer the sond of the circuit with them, they are hand made, and the same ones used in old neve consoles and marshalls. not cheap either.

if you ran this through a low pass filter I could envision some crazy megaman math rock

all my atari consoles are punks
Would you have the schematic for this? I've been search all over for one D;

Ha! Nice, that's a pretty cool take

Thank you

it's good for a Atari punksong! I think it's a lot more playing fun if you use pedals instead of knobs for the pots.
try using a wah pedal rocker for one of the a.p.c. controls so you can control it while playing guitar at the same time, maybe even 1 different pedal for each control
Can you tell me more about the fat cap in your Atari punk? You said zoso? What value?
maybe you're using the 556 chip, instead of the 555? then pin 3 and 11 is correct for control voltage

Didn't even know this was possible. I love electronics lol
Holy shit! Dude, I went to your site and it doesn't exist.. how do I wire a guitar input into a punk console?
roughly how many volts ac would the signal need to be to function properly as vc?
Using pin 5 of the NE555 to modulate the output?
Reminds me a bit of the Arcadiator pedal
what if I fed a keyboard singnal instead into the CV input? would it generate sound according to the key's pitch?

Awsone!! I wanna it, can you publish a how to?

I didn't mean CV, I meant output signal from a casio keyboard, would it be the same?
where in the APC circuit to you put the guitar input?
sounds terrible, but i love it

what would happen if you plug a mic instead of the guitar? I'm not an electronic expert, by the way. Greetings from Chile
guitar input jack goes to one of the two CV inputs on the 556 chip.
Schematic?
could you did this with a keyboard?
is this just ran into the CV input?
yes, i have built many of them with CV ins for this purpose. my preference is to use an analog (ie. CV) sequencer.

It needs a foot thing so you can sweep it like a wah
@TheMoPsico
you'll be able to make noise music, like Merzbow.
how did you amp your guitar up?
preamps, or maybe another pedal
what's so special about that electrolytic capacitor?
Kinda sounds like the subdecay noisebox, but with oscillation
schematic please!!
What are those strings about 1/2" above the fret board? Did you ever figure out what a truss rod is?
so awesome
LOL that's true NINTENDOCORE sounding! XD Might as well to call it Artaricore. :D
But seriously that is amazing, I'd sure love to have one of those.
Awesome
0:51-1:03 sounds like a kesha song.
Might sound better if the volume was down more
Ooo in tellin
Put a rocker pedal on it.
FAT SOUND !!!
always trying to find the new ways to work with sound, either through experiments with hardware electronics or techno!
i thank you sir.
just some mojo i guess, i prefer the sond of the circuit with them, they are hand made, and the same ones used in old neve consoles and marshalls. not cheap either.
