A great noise-making project. Originally featured in the 1980\nbook: “Engineer's Notebook; Integrated Circuit Applications” written by Forest\nMims III, it can be deployed as-is or be used as a basis for experimenting\nwith the ubiquitous NE555 timer chip. Based on the 556 dual timer IC, the kit\ncomes complete with quality components including knobs, an enclosure, and even\na 9-volt battery. A favorite tweak for this kit is to use joysticks instead of\nthe manual knobs to get even wilder or complex sound output from this box.\nOthers have used this circuit to generate complex tones and subsequently\nimport them into other audio effects units or digital samplers for further\nexploration into crafting soundscapes or for use in dance clubs.
