Breadboard Build: The ATARI PUNK CONSOLE (APC) with two 555 timer chips!

A brief history and build of the APC. The infamous Atari Punk Console was originally called "Sound Synthesizer" in a Radio Shack magazine printed in 1980. 25 years later it gets a new name and becomes the beloved Lofi noise synth the glitch folk love! 37 years later and we're still using it. What an amazing little project!
To hear the sound: 11:20

You should make more videos like this. It is informative and easy understanding for beginners!!

How the heck did you not get more views! Your editing is amazing! Holy Crap you’ve got my sub!

Are you planning to make any more synth tutorials, you videos are easy to understand and it would be cool to see your take on more modules like a sequencer, an envelope generator, or a VCF.

Holy crap only 560 subs? I'd expect this kind of quality from a channel with like at least 2k!

Great tutorial just a really quick (probably silly) question as I'm new as well. I'm also soldering this straight to a circuit board, I don't have a breadboard. You added the red side of your pot to the battery + side of the board. I can't tell from this angle, but is that correct? I'm coming into this from circuit bending in which usually both of those wires would go to two separate contact points and I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.

Hi Jason, forgive me if I sound stupid! I really enjoyed this video and the simplicity of the circuit. But, I would really like to learn more. Can one make more than one oscillator, connect them together and then to maybe a I octave keyboard. Is this asking too much?Keep up the good work, best regards Jack

I have been trying to make it several times, but I cannot get it to work. All I get is a sligtht scratchynoise when one of the pots is at minimum and nothing else.

Hmmm are you doing it on a breadboard or soldering it together? it might not be triggering the 555 chip(s). if you can, send a pic of the board i can take a look. i'm still new to electronics but maybe i can see something :)

How many Jumper Wires do I need?

@JayMono 6 жыл бұрын

Ah, I didn't count how many I used. But if i recall it wasn't too many. But i'd say probably have about 20 on hand, just to be on the safe side. You could also use just regular wires with the tips stripped off. The jumpers are just more convenient. :)
