Very nice. It kind of plays like it's thinking about it.

I'd love to build something like this,but I am poor & I am just starting to learn about electronics!

You absolutely rule.. the background repeatitive sound is like the breath of a sleeping monster, and the other (two) random sounds are like the countdown to his awakening.... aaaaargh

lol its very random sounds

@chrisbern75 What exactly is a normal sound? 40 years ago they thought distortaed guitars were just unplayable noise. To a synthesist, there either is no such thing as a normal sound, or they are all "normal" because they are CREATED. As far as synths go, the sounds here are pretty much in line with what you would find in other similar synths. Perhaps you could try broadening your musical horizons a bit?

mind if I ask what it cost you to put this thing together?
I've no idea really to be honest! Some of it I started ages ago, some parts were cannibalised from other circuitry. Time was a much more important factor than cost!

This sounds amazing. Please inform on the pcb's under the proverbial hood. What's going on here? This is an outstanding patch. VC divider? Sequencer? Combo?

I bought some of the circuit boards as kits, and some I developed from existing designs but modified them accordingly. The VCO's are mostly EFM, with one Oakley VCO. Other bits include Music from Outer Space designs, etc.
