£15.00 – £17.49
This Atari Punk Console kit is based on the original Stepped Tone Generator by Forest M. Mimms III. 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. To find out more please read the full description below.
This kit is rated as easy, takes around 20-45 mins 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 really good lead free solder is included with the kit!
Grab yourself a 9v pp3 battery (not included) and connect it up to the battery snap. Turn the APC on using the on/off power switch, and adjust the two knobs to control the pitch and depth of the quirky raspy tones produced.
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!
A set of connectors is included with your kit to bring the Baby8 and APC together for all sorts of fun which you can see in the video demo further down the page. The set consists of two strips of pin headers and 5 multi-coloured jumper cables for connecting power sharing, 2x CVs, Gate and Ground.
Plug your own headphones into the 3.5mm stereo socket. .
Plug into your own speaker/amp into the 3.5mm stereo socket.
Use the little 25mm speaker included with your kit by soldering it into place.

I’m a beginner with electronics and this kit is the first one I’ve ever built. Very easy to put together and very fun to play. I plugged the CV out of my Bastl Kastle for some extra fun!

Fun little noisemaker, and a great start for anyone getting into making their own electronic sounds. Works brilliantly with the Baby8 sequencer, too!
