The MIDI Bass Pedal uses the MIDI keyboard encoder (MKE), which is capable of encoding any number of momentary action, push to make, single pole single throw (SPST), switches from 1 up to 128 to produce the equivalent MIDI note-on/note-off data commands. The.... -
The sustain pedal is also known as the Damper Pedal. When operated it sends out a controller value of CC64. When the pedal is pressed ON the unit outputs a value of 127, when released OFF the unit outputs a value of 0. Tone-generators without the.... -
The Theramidi is a new musical device, based on the Theremin, which produces a MIDI signal relative to the movement of objects to or away from it. The MIDI output is controlled by the intensity of light falling onto two Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs). One.... -

This touch controlled musical bell circuit circuit produces a musical tone whenever someone touches the touch point designated as TP in the circuit. The circuit works from two AA cells and produces enough sound. The circuit uses IC UM 3481 commonly used in.... -
This sound effects circuit is designed to work as a signal distorter. If used with an electric guitar, it allows the production of special sound effects. T.... -
This featured circuit is a musical doorbell. After the button S1 is pressed, a short melody is played. When the button is pressed many times in rapid succession or pressed longer, a different melody is generated and the melody plays longer. The circuit works.... -
A robot is an automatically guided machine, able to do task on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own. The word robot can refer to both physical.... -
The PIC can control the motor after every beat or its possible to bypass some beats. It can be done by pushbuttons. Rotation speed and rotation length can be adjusted too. Settings are limited between values to prevent possible register overflow-underflow..... -
This circuit uses a couple of Op-amps to produce an interesting sound effect. The left hand CA741 is wired as a standard astable and produces the timing pulses, controlled by C1, R2 and VR1. The output is fed via C2 to the second op-amp and is also direct.... -
The aim of this design is to reproduce a Combo amplifier of the type very common in the `sixties and the `seventies of the past century. It is well suited as a guitar amplifier but it will do a good job with any kind of electronic musical instrument or.... -

This amp had hum and nosise. So I added cpacitors at power supply, but Voltage was high. There was spark at final tube socket pins. So I pulled off capacitors... -
All sound effects are generated internally by the HT2884 IC. Power is a 3 Volt battery, but the IC will work with any voltage between 2. 5 and 5 Volts. Switch S1 is the on / off switch. The output at pin 10 is amplified and drives a small 8 ohm loudspeaker..... -
The DD-2 is one of the best digital delay pedals and actually sounds very analog! The pedal was sold from 1983 and it did officially go out of sale 1986 but it was relaunched without changes as the DD-3 (later versions of the DD-3 use a different design)..... -
There are at least 3 different versions of this circuit. The first DM-2 version was using the MN3005 BBD and the MN3101 Clock Driver IC (PCB marking: ET5214-510). Later they changed the clock driver to MN3102 and the BBD to the low current version of the.... -
The Boss GE-7 Equalizer pedal adjusts the harmonic contents of an instrument in 7 separate bands ranging from 100Hz to 6. 4kHz, with a boost/cut 15dB per band. The additional Level control knob helps you to set a different volume for normal and effect sound.... -
The Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive is a pedal with a simple design, using only one dual operational amplifier (uPC4558C) and 6 transistors, with an asymmetric overdrive circuitry for a classic, natural tube amp growl. It generates the warm distortion of an.... -
This circuit is a modified Hartley oscillator with a couple of extra components included. The transformer is a small audio transformer, type LT700. The primary is center tapped with an impedance of 1Kohms at 1KHz. The secondary has an impedance of 8 ohms..... -
A series resistor, and a bypass capacitor along with a zener in parallel with the hall sensor to clamp transients that still get through. I use hall sensors here at work on a daily basis. After 15 years of working with them, I know that they`re generally.... -
The heart of the circuit is an IC4822 named as IC1. IC4822 is a programmed ROM, which generates 16 musical tunes when it gets triggered. The main feature of this IC is that it has inbuilt tone generator, rhythm generator, modulator, oscillator, frequency.... -
Above is the schematic of one oscillator circuit. In technical terms the oscillator is a Schmitt trigger relaxation oscillator. Above you`ll also find.... -
