MIMS III Atari Punk Console Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eThe Atari Punk Console Electronics Kit is an intermediate level sound\nsynthesizer or tone generator that has remained a popular project for DIY’ers,\nelectronic musicians and sound effects professionals since its inception back\nin the 1980’s. 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. This project\nenjoys wide appeal from youngsters just starting out in electronics to\nhardcore sound enthusiasts worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eThe circuit creates a sequence of tones whose frequencies vary in distinct steps as a potentiometer is adjusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eSome in the electronic music community began experimenting with the circuit, and it is eventually labeled the atari punk console by kaustic machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eEven older than the atari punk console is the integrated circuit that makes it possible, the venerable 555 timer designed by hans r.
