New Clock, and 8-step Squencer Voltage Control

In this vidie you see me repurposing a small plastic box that was originally made to hold .22 caliber bullets. I think it looks great as a module for making electronic music. You will notice that I do not use a fancy drill press to cut holes in the plastic for the various componants.

The last bit of the video shows a new method I am using for voltage control over an ocsillator. I am emplying an LED and a photo resistor. I works pretty good when te LED is relatively bright, but when the voltage drops below a certain threshold the led lags in attinuation so there is a sort of glide in pitch to the low notes. I will work it out latter.

Hello , I've posted this video on switchedonsynhtesizer.blogspot . com

My iron is pretty crude. I think of what I do with it more as black smithing than electronics soldering ;-)

Thanks john!

Actully because of the long tapper of its blade my switch blade is my prefered tool to cut holes into project boxes. However, the blade is not wide enough for some larger toggle switches so I have an old paring knive for such cuts. My poor drill press just sits out in the cold my shed with nothing to do.

Wow Nathan, coul you possibly have a WORSE iron for that task!? Very clever have dividers in your clock.

Sweet video! :-)

I was worried your were going to hurt that nice switchblade though! ;-o
