Sub page: analog percussion
designed and build around 1985

Description:

Very simple analog percussion/filterbox.
using only 1 transistors and R+C+diode.
Twin-T filter in feedback creates resonance. A diode is used as a variable resistor to sweep the resonance for the pitch envelope type of sounds. Via the pushbutton or the external trigger input you create a pulse that is exciting the filter. External audio can alse be routed through the filter. Current consumption is 0.3mA so it runs >1000 hours on the build-in 9V battery.
