Making a simple synth with a 40106 oscillator circuit

- So we build a small dual oscillator synth, with a Transistor LFO!
I also go into excruciating detail on how a breadboard works...EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that What I call a "Reducer" is actually called a Regulator.

What should I try to build next?
Jayson Munro well done on this one, it's nice to watch this sort of thing from an "every man" perspective.
If you haven't already you should expand on this idea, you can add an LFO or even a timer chip and create a simple sequencer!
I'll check that out. I worked with a 555 chip on my APC. But making a sequencer sounds awesome!
step sequencer .... ... bluetooth speaker circuit bend with togle and pot to modify output soud .....
ah ... I am watching you from france.. so more you will put clear sheme the more people from all over the world can listen your holy voice. keep it up
I’m going to build my first synth this week, ordered every electric component China has ever produced :D
Awesome man! Lemme know how it turns out!
Really good! I liked it that you tried to explain what you're doing, not many channels do it and it's much appreciated!
great simple explanation.great video
This is amazing just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing this.
this is great!! ive been messing around with my first DIY stuff and your vid is one of the only vids that breaks it down enough and actually includes the things that a more knowledge person than myself would just know and leave out of the video. Thanks man!!! you fuckin rock!!!1
God bless you, really appreciate the time you take to explain this stuff, this is super helpful
Great job! That was very informative!
Markus Tonsaker thank you :D
thats pretty awesome... I like this information. I understand and thanks
Very cool, nice and slow pace! Maybe would be good to show a sketch/schematic, then explain that and then build it afterwards. Keep it up
Thank you--ahh good idea! I'll definitely throw up a schematic for the future projects
I want to build this one too - can you provide a schematic for this synth?
You do such a "bad" job at presenting this stuff :))). But please do not stop, I am trying to understand this electronic jibberish also, and you are the only one that makes me kinda understand how things work. And you did explain in a decent kinda way :)). You got yourself a sub. Cheers mate, hope you are gonna do some more.
I would love to see the schematic with the transistor added.
Love it thx - keep them coming 😀
Mono you are alive!!!???
That's pretty cool
nice video mate but the visual explanations its quite mess. It would be better if you identify pins spellint its numbers so we all could have a clear idea of how to build it. Thank anyway for uploading this!
Awsome! What camera do you use to record your videos?
thanks!! I'm using the sony a7sII
hi!
cool video but could you give the schematic for the circuit with the transistor? would be a great help for those, like me, who want to build oscillators! :)
cheers
If you mean the oscillator using only a transistor and some other parts, search "super simple oscillator" and look for look mum no computer's videos on it!
Hey, nice vídeo! You have other easy synth project called Atari Punk Console that is simpler than this and with less parts.
Miguel Rosa Thanks, man! And awesome. I just looked it up and this seems really cool. I actually think I have all the parts for it too. Not to mention the name is amazing.
How did you amplify the sound?
i'm just plugging it into this small (old) Roland amp.
13:38 You are describing a capacitor! A transistor just acts as a switch that can be turned on and off by electricity. The sort of transistor you have is called a MOSFET, which is just a high power transistor. Maybe do some more research and make a new video :DDDDD
🙌🏼thanks
you watch a lot of casey neistat dont you ? ;) great video though
Not bad for a newbie. Keep it up. Everyone has to start somewhere.
12:00 - are you sure that a higher resistance gives a higher pitch? IMHO it's otherwise.
dang your comment made me do research on my vacation! ;) Ok, so, what i found is that resistance and frequency actually have no direct correlation. With Ohm’s law, there are direct connections between Resistance, current and voltage. Not frequency. That said, the frequency change depends on the oscillator. So, it’s not as simple as more or less resistance equalling higher or lower frequency, as the way I put it in the video. It’s more about what’s going on with that chip, etc.. I def want to do more research, it’s really interesting. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I’m new to this stuff, and comments like that really help me understand things a bit more! :)
Jayson Munro the way i understood it was that the resistor and capacitor formed an rc network, where the capacitor was charged through the resistor. increasing the resistor value limited the amount of current that the capacitor received. when you turn the potentiometer, you are adding more or less resistance, which changes the charging time of the capacitor, and that changes the frequency. whatever. may i suggest making a really simple low pass filter? all you need is a 10k pot and a 100 nf cap. would increase the level of expression you can get
I want that beard o.o
Your explanation of the breadboard is fine. Your explanation of every component after that is just fundamentally wrong. Anyone watching this vid should be able to make this simple oscillator though.
Resistor: the higher the resistance, the less voltage will get through it.
Potentiometer is a variable resistor, the higher the resistance value, the lower the frequency. More resistance to voltage=less power, which translates to lower frequency in this case.
transistor: a transistor is basically a signal amplifier: you feed it a weak signal as control on one pin. This weak signal controls a stronger voltage going through the transistor (at least that's my best understanding)
Capacitor: basically this is like a sort of "rechargeable battery" that discharges its load all at once, as soon as it reaches its capacity. It's like a bucket that automatically dumps itself once it is full. (again, my best understanding)
So... the resistor, or in this case potentiometer, controls the flow of voltage into the capacitor, from a trickle (very high resistance) to a torrent (very low resistance) the size of the bucket (capacitor) determines how long before it will dump its load. How often that load is dumped, determines the frequency of the output.
Protip resistors "resist" current and not voltage :DDD
HAAHAHAH you said, "just skip the blooooooggg, you will be booreed " in the most boring way JAKSJDKASD
Be more positive!
So much talking .... I came here for the synth .... But fell asleep due to the unlimited talking .
