Three loosely coupled multivibrators

Nonlinearcircuits · 4 HP · 3U

Panel · 20.3 × 128.5 mm

Description

After a Dick Smith burp generator: three transistor multivibrators at different frequencies, loosely coupled by low-value resistors so they pull at each other, for unpredictable bursts that rarely repeat. A knob sets each one's frequency; IN turns the sound on and off, and gates or envelopes there give a gradual onset and tail. Audio there makes it a waveshaper. Its LED shines through the panel.

Key features

  • IN and OUT
  • Three frequency knobs, one per multivibrator
  • 4 HP; Nonlinearcircuits publishes no current draw, depth or assembled price (it sells the DIY PCB and panel), and ModularGrid lists none
