Doug-what was your site again?  I remember seeing the glitch computer a while ago and thinking one of two things, either "WOW, I have to get one" or "eh", and I just can't remember which it was!  Please enlighten me.

-Colin

its not on there....im working on the new one now....
the site thats up features my first to products....
(nether of witch i now sell...)
but here it is if you want to poke around....(3 hole pages!!!! :]....)
geocities.com/midfielectronics

I definitely remember going to that page and thinking the random number generator was cool and wondering how it worked...  I also remember hearing about the glitch computer, it was probably on the HC reviews or something.

Care to enlighten me/us?  colin@experimentalistsanonymous.com

random number generator....hmmm i dont have the scheme on the comp....
but its all descrete....basicly a fuzz driving an oscillator (pretty low frequency) with a misbiased tranny for gating...
nothing to complex....but it sounds freaking HUGE!!! (sound clip was recorded straight to the old comp YIKES!!!)
ill get around to drawing it up one of these days...

Let me know when you do!

Hey Doug, you sent me the schematic. I still have it.

He sent it to me and I sort of redrew it... I think I'll breadboard it today.

Can I ask a couple questions about the Parallel Universe schematic, please?

First, the 1k Starve pot...what is the third lug connected to?  The schematic doesn't show what the end of the pot is going to.

Second, on the SPST oscillate switch...it looks like there's a pot (Freq I believe) connected to the switch and the caps...what value should that be?  Or is that even a pot?

Thanks in advance for clearing those up...I wasn't able to purchase an LM386 today *shakes fist at the local electronics store* but I'm gonna try to get my hands on one asap.

the third leg of the pot connects to nothing.  we are using it strickly as a variable resistor here.so its resistance will swing with the pots rotation.  you also see the same result if you tie the outside lugs together and use the other open lug

The starve pot is being used as a variable resistor, so you don't connect ANYTHING to the third lug.  Perhaps an "N/C" next to it would help stop confusion.

The freq pot IS a pot, yes... I don't know where the value went, odd that you were the first to catch it.  It's 5k.

-Colin

OK, fixed the schem... Now there's "N/C" for not connected, the pot is labled... and something I Just noticed, the input stereo jack wasn't wired correctly in the schematic, so that's fixed too.

Sorry to anyone who got confused...

-Colin

Awesome, thanks for clearing that up!
