There's a group in my city who meet every month to generate wacky noises from all sorts of things. With this thing's built-in generator and layout I feel like you could build a primitive step sequencer with those switches and dials and deliver a godlike performance of audio and engineering prowess.
Even better if you can voltage control the frequency. Then if you can introduce a delay in the oscillator output, filter it, then feed back into the variable resistor(?) that controls its frequency, you have the basis of a mini-FM synth - if you can get it to stay stable in the normal human hearing range of course...
Nothing really to add on the engineering side, just seeing how it looks, I want to hear it making some noise, although it's not its intended purpose.
Nice work on figuring out how to get it going again!

- parksy 5y agoOur local one is https://www.noizemaschin.com/ https://www.noizemaschin.com/ - they're based in London and Perth Australia, it's kind of a hybrid maker space / underground scene. Good folk from all walks of life. Not sure about Denver but I did some searches for experimental music, perhaps jump on the local subreddit as it seems there's a small noise music scene but I wasn't able to pinpoint anything specific.

- dnos 5y agoYes, I was thinking the same. I am super curious about what functionality in this could be used for sound generation. It even looks like a full synthesizer. When I first saw the pictures, I thought it was some weird version of an EMS VCS 3 synth — which coincidentally is also from 1969!
