B here now
15 January 2013
So, basically, the WSG is DONE: Done with an asterisk. The battery setup is a temporary kludge to be remedied later. One of the pots and all but one of the jacks are not connected; they were included for the modifications I mostly ended up not doing, but I might get around to adding them … More B here now
Plan B update
11 January 2013
First step in completing the WSG is going to be to get the case ready for mounting the hardware. It’ll be easier to do that now while the circuit board and front panel are not conjoined. I had sketched out how to do that but I think I have an easier idea based on materials … More Plan B update
Plan B
8 January 2013
OK, here’s the plan. Or a plan. Or a plan to plan. Long time readers will remember over four years ago I decided to build a (modified) Weird Sound Generator (WSG), though it took me about a year and a half before I started building it. I did a lot of the work, maybe 85% of … More Plan B
30 days of creativity
30 June 2010
For those who haven’t been following my Twitter and Facebook statuses, for the month of June I was participating in 30 Days of Creativity, doing something creative every day. Most days I produced something (or things, plural) by the end of the day which could be photographed, or a video, though not every day — … More 30 days of creativity
The weirder they come
28 March 2010
I decided the two resistors I’d had standing and waving on the Weird Sound Generator board would be better moved to the front panel. So I unsoldered them. Then I populated the kludge area with four CV inputs, one for each audio oscillator, and an unfiltered output. I still have to make connections to the … More The weirder they come
Progress is weird
7 March 2010
I’ve populated the circuit board for my Weird Sound Generator: except that I haven’t mounted the parts for some modifications I want to make (indeed, I still need to get some of those parts), and I shouldn’t have put the ICs in the sockets yet because some of these mods will require soldering nearby. (The … More Progress is weird
Heh.
24 February 2010
If you build a Weird Sound Generator, you can use the goofy front panel or the serious front panel. But either way, all the pots go to 11. (I won’t use either, because I will be adding more pots, jacks, and probably a speaker. Yeah, I’m getting psyched to get back to this and actually … More Heh.

14 November 2008
Some years ago I started to build an ASM-1 synth, but for some reason that project stalled. The Gakken SX-150 has put the building bug back in me, at least for the moment. I’ve ordered components for something less ambitious this time, a Weird Sound Generator. No PC board yet, I’ll start by breadboarding it. … More Bwoooopapapapapap
