Octave screamer - Note that the octave module consists of only five parts – input capacitor, transformer, two germanium diodes, and an output volume pot. The logical extension of this idea would be to add a DPDT switch so the signal could be routed to either the octave circuit or the TS tone controls. Each path ends with a volume control and the switch __ Designed by Scott Swartz Omega - A versatile FET booster engine. __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com
On/off buffer switches analog or digital signals - 30-Mar-06 EDN-Design Ideas - Use an op amp and a dual SPST to switch signals under digital control Design by Liviu Pascu, Kepco, Flushing, NY
One Transistor Theremin - This design is from a magazine called "Divirta-se com a Eletrônica", which translates to "have fun with electronics", and, indeed, is very fun. For those who don't know what a Theremin is, it's one of the first synths ever made and it's named after his inventor, Mr. Leon Theremin (a Russian guy) . It's perhaps the only instrument which you don't actually touch: there's an antenna, and as the musician moves his hand near it, the pitch changes. That's the thing Page used in "Whole Lotta Love" (he used it with an echo, to get even weirder) . This circuit is a very simplified version of a theremin, but is also very easy to build and really works!
Optical string-tuning tool - This tool assists you in tuning your string instrument to a given tone. It utilizes the stroboscopic effect to give feedback about the adjustment of your instrument. The two LEDs on the board blink with the frequency that the chosen tone has. When
Oscillator or Joystick Controlled AM bisonic Pan-Rotate - A system that rotates mono or B-format soundstage signals by joystick control or spins them continually with an oscillator. Also creates some attractive lissajous curves as a fortunate by-product. __ Designed by Henry

Phozer - The original Phozer was a sound idea, but was hindered by its mashed-up development. The circuit didn't really exceed the sum of its parts, namely Tim Escobedo's Idiot Wah and the LFO from the EA Tremolo. The faux phase shifting effect was reasonably convincing at faster speeds, but the LFO failed to produce a true sweep at slower speeds. Rather than ramp up and down, at slow speeds the LFO simply spent more time in the darker heel-down position between quick pulses of toe-down mode. Also, we saw that using op-amps rather than discrete components would probably allow for a more complex effect with fewer parts. __ Contact: holler @ runoffgroove.Com
PICAXE Plays Music - One of the most popular uses of PICAXE chips is in sound orientated projects. Both the new PICAXE-14M and PICAXE-28X1 support the 08M 'play' and 'tune' commands, which allow the PICAXE chips to play mobile phone ring-tones directly via a piezo sounder.__ SiliconChip
PIC-Based Musical Tuning Aid - This compact device will help you tune almost any musical instrument - acoustic or electronic. It can produce any note on the tempered musical scale (standard pitch) in any of the eight most commonly used octaves, with an accuracy of better than ?0.08% or 1.3 musical cents. The selected note is compared with that from the instrument either by ear or visually by using an eight-LED stroboscopic beat indicator.__ SiliconChip
Pira CZ Compressor/Limiter/Clipper for FM Broadcasting - Audio signals as music or speech have big dynamic ranges. There are silent and loud sections. These audio signals aren't too good for a transmitter, which requires audio signal with constant level on the input. Limiter is a device, __ Jan Kolar
Portable CD Player Adapter for Car - Whenever I'm in the car listening to my favourite CD, it always happens-my batteries go dead. To solve that problem, I built this extremely simple regulator circuit. It steps down the 12V from the lighter socket to 9V which is used by the CD player __ Designed by Aaron Cake
