WSG: Weird sound Generator DIY

WSG: Weird sound Generator DIY

Trend price :

A funny low cost noise box / drone project originally designed by Musicfromouterspace.com.
->This review is based on a commercial model designed and sold by Italian Elettrorama company.

Overview
DIY NOISE MACHINE layout depends on what you want to build: plastic box, tin can, wood case or other recycled stuff... it is up to you! This precise model is made out in a cheap plastic case.
Terminal connectors:
- main signal out
- 2 cv inputs
- 1 gate input.


Voice
WSG is mainly based on a IC 40106 hex schmitt trigger jsut like previous CACOPHONATOR we saw last time) plus a 741 Op-Amp - WSG generates a weird sound that can be altered using 3 main parameters: Wacky, Zany and Weird- I did not get exactly what they do! Here's the original description:
- 2x "Wacky" oscillators (sound sources and Weird oscillator gates)
- 2x "Zany" oscillators (modulation sources for Weird oscillator)
- 2x "Weird" oscillators (sound sources).
Also a low passfilter with cutoff and a "oddness" Resonance.

ELETTRORAMA PROJECT
Too pricey and cheap finish.

Review
OK: -cool original project for the masses
NOT : - price (for this commercial edition) / quickly boring

"nice sci fi sounds, droning, just do it yourself and don't bother with expensive commercial versions."
