From the project

An analog synthesizer composed of a modified Baby8 Sequencer and Atari Punk Console, which can be used to create a variety of eight-note musical sequences.

The goal of this project was to achieve the effect of the EMS Synthi AKS, as used by Pink Floyd in “On The Run”. This was accomplished by pairing two well-known audio circuits together: the Baby8 Sequencer and the Atari Punk Console. The resulting combined circuit can be used to create eight note musical sequences, with adjustable BPM, pitch, and timbre.

The heart of the system is the Baby8 Sequencer circuit, which has an adjustable clock and eight adjustable pitch outputs. The circuit utilizes a 555 timer for the clock, which can be altered using a potentiometer. It also utilizes a 4017…
