- A true classic for DIY synth makers & circuit benders, the Atari Punk Console can kick out some ear-catching square waves. It's easy to build and a lot of fun to play around with. It may be challenging to make traditional music with an APC, but hey - there's enough of that around already, right?

wow, this is so retro, we used to make these boxes in the 80s, when i was about 10 years old, same chips, 555, 4000 series, 7400 series.. a bit more complex than just the 556 circuit though - more like your first box. We didn't really know what we were doing, just hacking together logic, multiplexers, shift registers, binary counters. We used to drive the neighbourhood nuts with battery operated ones, stuck to our bikes, roaming the streets, making crazy random "computer" noises..
Sounds like a fun childhood. Im jealous
such expressive facial expressions
Such facially expressive faces
I was expressed.
mekon92 YES! Yes!
Those books by Forrest are by far some of the best material I've come across especially when I started learning and even now! Super awesome to see them on this channel!!!
I built one, with a 8 ohm speaker. Then, connected in parallel to my 70W amplifier. THEN, I discovered the 8 ohm speaker could work as a microphone. My underwear became wet.
Thanks for the videos! Your enthusiasm is great, your are easy to understand, and the projects are interesting. I'm not electronics guy, but I get a lot out of these videos.
I loved watching these videos when they came out when I was in college. And I really think they had a part in keeping me interested in electrical engineering. Now I've been working in the aerospace industry designing controllers! Thanks!
How’s aerospace
Generates some harsh square waves, so we'll use a round PCB...
Lmao
The circular PCB is amazing, Great project!
Thank you Colin, you made me smile, and wish to again do battle with electronics.
The circular board is a really nice touch. That’s a pretty build.
I love your presentation style, it's really cool!
this a great build!!! thanks for making Collin !
Man...now that's the best trip I've seen in years. Jimi Hendrix and Woodstock...yeah. Go Collin.
This is my favourite video series on youtube. Even better than epic meal time.
Awesome! I am going to have to build one of these! Thanks, Colin!
This was awesome. Just love the reaction after the first sound, laughing out loud.
Awesome video, the facial expressions with the Punk going ... Classic. That's what a Terminator would look like if they could take a crap, and what it would probably sound like.
i really like your style btw! very clear and instructive video, without much of bs other reviewer add!
My favorite project is from 3 chips- The Coron DS7 . It's an easy build and a neat thing you can do is run the wires intended for the pots to a breadboard instead and then you can go from there to the pots. This way you have the stock build that works, but now you have a breadboard to create any mod you want. Quickly you will discover that you can make it a two oscillator synth without having to add any active components. I used the earphone jack on an AM radio to act as a modulated input:-)
I don't understand, but I love watching Collin's videos. Very interesting.
collin's videos are the best!
I love Collin!!!!!!! He makes it so interesting with his quirks! Haa..... Love the music Collin. Please don't change it.
That sounds soooo good!
This is a proper make! I like it.
Collin's videos are why I stay subbed :-)
I've never much liked using potentiometers to control pitch. Since they're only capable of smooth transitions from one pitch to another, it's hard to make sounds with a complicated structure. This thing seems to do a pretty nice job of getting around that, though, so thumbs up to Collin! And the designers.
Another great video. I really enjoy the earlier videos. The somewhat newer, more polished videos I like too but the older stuff is the sht.
I made this circuit, it's awesome!
the Alton Brown of the electronics world, great videos
I wish my projects were so neatly set out and soldered!
YEAHH!! More Collin please!!
Collin: I only watch this channel for your stuff. More, please!
I dont understand about half of what Collin is talking about, but he's still enjoyable to watch.
Love this collin!
"The APC can generate some pretty intense square waves.... so how about a round PCB for geometric variety"
Haha love it
This guy deserves his own channel
I made one in an Altoids tin using two photoresistors. Definitely a fun project.
i would love this man to teach me electronics at school
I made one in breadboard but with two 555 timer ic. Really good for driving parents and siblings mad especially when they are watching tv! Now I plan to transfer into pcb.
love all dat pure sounds
nice video and very informative. Respect
What happened to this guy? He’s the best thing that ever happened to this channel.
Awesome! I love your series:) Question, can you install a CV input to trigger it with an analog sequencer?
I just have to say: thanks for the video! and i really mean it!
This video is better than a lot of TV shows!
You do these projects for fun. It SOUNDS like you do not enjoy making stuff. When somebody makes something, it sure makes you feel good when you are done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet vid. I'll be doing electronics next year at high school so I'll get into stuff like this. =D
This guy is absolutely great! :D
My Atari Punk colsole is quite modded and much more expressive. I built two, put them in the same compartment, with dual controls and switches that turn the audio off between the two so you can make quick notes with it. My next Atari Punk Console experiement will be using a crap keyboard from a consignment shop to control the pitch (resistors of different values on each key. It will be monophonic, but it might be more controllable that way).
yes! more Collin!
This dude need to upload videos daily, with electronics tutorials for begginers would be helpful.
nice as always
Collin's Lab; the only reason to subscribe to makemagazine...
mounted today, it works!
Finally, something I can build!
Leonard Hofstadter + Matrix Agent = this genius!
yes collin! make more videos bro!!!!!!!!
you're the coolest geek on youtube.
Love the schematics on squared paper - So old school ;)
This is what makezine was about. Making stuff. And learning. The rest of stuff on make, well...
@Neversleeps1979
its the look of brilliance
Hey Collin, where do you get your background music? I absolutely love it and would like to get the tracks. Thanks!
LOVE THIS
I built and sold approximately fifty of these in 2003-2004, including one to Kaustic Machines. I believe I still have the shipping confirmation, in fact (they went to some interesting places all over the world and to some interesting people). I didn't call them "Atari Punk Synths", though. I've always found that moniker irritating, because these have not the slightest relationship with Atari hardware. I called them, "Ghetto Synths" and also "Sputnik One". To be real honest, to me, they sound pretty obnoxious compared to Atari's outstanding line of vintage audio ICs. This is strictly a starter project. You will hurt your ears and the ears of others. :D I'm sorry for all the pain I've brought others by having built these. haha The circuit, which I modified to be even more obnoxious, originally came from "Oscillators Simplified with 61 Projects", written in 1987 by Delton T. Horn. I still have that book!
Actually, this circuit originally came from "Engineer's Notebook: Integrated Circuit Applications" by Forrest Mims III, published in 1980. And I still have that book.
I feel the same way about how it has nothing to do with punk
yeah man. With regards to number 1 comment. you have the right voice for voice over, edits are good info is great. you should expand to all kinds of video's dude. Just go hard dude, GO HARD!!!!
Terrific keep it up.
COLLIN! PLEASE make a video showing the making of the 'soundlab'
That is awesome! I always wanted to do some invention but I rather do this instead!
@DanielLikesToast GND mainly means -ve battery connection but if both +ve and -ve conection are given than you can ignore it
long live nerds long live collin. ur a rockstar
this is amazing :)
freakin cool have to say. im loving dyi electronics even more ever video i watch :D
Collin's lab is awsome.....
I love the background music
hey collin i got an arduino uno for my birthday and ive already written a bit of code!!!!
Round pcbs are amazing
Do you remember the guy from the video shop in Men in black ?!? Now he´s building genius circuits !! :)
@guitarbass95 Isn't the Wedding band supposed to be on the left hand though?
great job
Thanks for posting! For the life of me, I don't understand why people vote down helpful tutorial videos.
Is it because of the full frontal nerdity? Maybe a warning label should be applied.
@minttuber That's the real problem with MakerShed etc- shipping doubles the price to UK, then you get stung for import duty and VAT. There's loads of stuff I want (e.g. useless machine, larson scanner, mintduino) but I'm not going to spend as much getting it as the gear costs!
Arrrghhh!!!
Love this!
He looks like he is in heaven when he tries his creation! :)
You can also use a heatgun/hairdryer to heat up your right "leg" of your glasses, bend it downwards about 1cm and you'll have a set which are level on your face.
:D
yay this is seriously geeky stuff!
@Scotchegz If you had information about the world further than the outskirts of your city limits you would know there are other traditions elsewhere, many countries have it custom to wear the wedding band on the right hand.
Brings back, well almost, memories of Playing Yar's Revenge on me 2600 years ago.
@lucasmontec you seem to be right, I actually did subscribe!
Can you please post a link to the first device you were using or show us how to make it. I know it might take long or be a long video but you if you can make a series or something out of it I would appreciate it. Or if you can give a slide show or text instructional, anything I would be very grateful. Thanks
@TortoiseProductions Thanks for the info, I live in Finland. :D
First time I've seen this guy, I like him already. Where is the schematic for that first synthesizer he was playing with?
awesome! Keep it up
Collin, You're absolutely fantastic. I'm delighted you exist, if ever we should meet I'm buying you a pint.
Yesterday I build one from pieces. Oh yeah!
This guy is the epitome of nerdiness. He is a true nerd. Also he looks like the video rental guy from Men in Black 2.
this guy is so awesome!!
at first he looks a bit strange.. but he kinda grows up on you with time! :D
@minttuber TBH a fair few of the projects are open source or have plans for similar things, but the kits make it more convenient. I don't have access to them fancy plastic cutting machines or 3D printers :(
Collin's lab, FTW!!
You are soooooooooooo right my friend
Hey Collin (or anyone else),
I am making this project right now but I am a bit stuck. I am trying to find the audio jack that you used I this video. I can't seem to find one, any help would be great!
Thanks,
Shane
