Disintegrated Cracklebox Noisemaker DIY synth soldering kit by Rakit.

Description: ***** Build rating: EASY ***** Play rating: Moderate-Hard Our disintegrated cracklebox kit is inspired by Michel Waisvisz’s Cracklebox and his use (and abuse) of one of the earliest examples of an integrated operational amplifier. The original used the LM709, an old (and obsolete) chip by today’s standards. So in our kit we have effectively taken the integrated circuit of the operational amplifier and dis-integrated it, allowing it to live on forever in kit form. To find out more please read the full description below…Disintegrated Cracklebox SNAP on a battery, CRACKLE to your heart’s content, AND POP it in your pocket to take round and show/torture all your friends! Kit Assembly This kit is rated as easy, takes around an hour to make and is suitable for all ages. The only equipment needed to complete this kit is a soldering iron and a pair of flush cutters. A 2-3g pack of SAC305 Lead free solder is included – just enough to build your kit! What Is A Cracklebox? The disintegrated cracklebox is a noise maker type instrument where the player becomes part of the circuit by interacting with the touchpads. Experimentation really is key to getting the most out of it, using fingers spread over multiple touchpads to get new, interesting sounds. Build Support We are unable to provide individual customer support with kit building so please see the detailed assembly guide here to gauge difficulty before purchasing. Once started, kits cannot be refunded. We also have a handy soldering tutorial here! BECOME ONE WITH THE CIRCUIT..... Due to the nature of the beast, playing the Cracklebox requires practise to UNLEASH IT’S POTENTIAL! Because the user is part of the circuit, different people will get different results. Even touching someone who is playing the Cracklebox will effect the sound produced!POWERING THE DISINTEGRATED CRACKLEBOX... The kit comes with a 9V pp3 battery to barrel jack connector as standard. The user can optionally replace this with a 9V centre positive power supply. We recommend using an alkaline battery, this is NOT INCLUDED in the kit!WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE DISINTEGRATED CRACKLEBOX KITPCB1Rubber Feet410n Ceramic Capacitor2100n Ceramic Capacitor12n2 Ceramic Capacitor1100u Electrolytic Capacitor12N3904 Transistor152N3906 Transistor4 SPDT Slide Switch15.5mm x 2.1mm Barrel Socket Plus Barrel Jack Battery Connector1Speaker1Rectangular Blue LED127k Resistor23k Resistor210k Resistor5 1k Resistor 1 3k6 Resistor 1 18k Resistor 1 2.4k Resistor 1 75R Resistor 1 20k Resistor 1 30k Resistor 1 1M Resistor 1 DETAILED ASSEMBLY GUIDESRakit have a handy soldering tutorial and easy to follow assembly guides which can be followed online on our website.They contain plenty of photos, hints and tips to help you along the way!

It creates great lo-fi sounds resembling those from the old style Atari games using an astable square wave oscillator. The main features of the kit are a 9v battery connector snap, an on/off power switch, a 3.5mm jack so that it can be hooked up to other devices such as an amp, speaker or headphones, and two knobs to control the pitch and depth of the quirky raspy tones produced.
