[sdiy] new noisetoy design from ray wilson

[James Coplin]

Awesome!  Ray, I love you.  I was just thinking I needed a project to make
some kind of a musical toy for my baby.  He loves daddy's Serge, at least
the patch cables and b-lines to a keyboard to bang on if one is in sight.
I'm so proud.
 
So, I think this thing would be cool as a toy for him to spin dials and make
weird noises.  So, what is the coolest case and switch / pot designs we can
come up with for this?  Big spinny dials and huge switches would be best as
would built in speakers.  Ideas?
 
 
James

Apologies if Ray already announced this, but i just noticed that he has a
new project posted to his site:

http://www.musicfromouterspace.com/analogsynth/YOUR_FIRST_SYNTH/YOUR_FIRST_S
YNTH.html 
"An afternoon's worth of project to get you going with weird sounds. A
handful of components, some switches and potentiometers, a 9V battery, one
CD40106 chip (actually half a chip) to get Zany, Wacky, and Weird Sounds.
Add another chip (general purpose Op-Amp like a LM741) and you step up to
Odd sounds. Who could ask for anything more. If you have kids make one for
them and they'll keep their sticky little hands off of your Moog or Buchla
or (and far more importantly) your lovingly crafted synth-diy " treasures.
Oh... this is NOT a cruel practical joke this circuit really works. "

Looks like fun to me...
