dekatron sequencer

dekatron sequencer driving tube synth. The clock circuit includes a relay which clacks away somewhat charmingly. The relay noise does not get into the sound path of the synth, it is just the noise the synth makes whilst operating. Sound is recorded over the camera's microphone so you all can enjoy 60 seconds of clack clack clack clack clack.

So.... It generates a wide range of frequency types?

Hi

it generates voltages depending on the setting of each pot. These voltages can be used to control a VCO, VCF or VCA to get a variety of sounds.

To be honest, it looks good and produces some interesting patterns but it is not a great sequencer. I have been wondering about how to improve it, though at the moment the best solution would be to replace the dekatron with relays......which defeats the original idea of making a dekatron sequencer :-)
