the atari synth is a custom made, 12
oscillator, 3 modulator square wave
synthesizer.
each of the 12 oscillator voices
correspond to an arcade-style
pushbutton key, 2-position toggle
switch and frequency tuning knob.
each voice operates in two modes:
when the toggle switch is down, the
oscillator is triggered by the push-
button key. when the switch is up,
the oscillator voice acts as a drone.
this means that any number of gated
notes and drone combinations can be
utilized. all 12 voices are individually
tunable from bass frequencies to
upper audio frequencies.
the 3 modulators located on the top
left of the unit range from LFO speeds
up through the audio range and are
turned on with their respective
toggle switches.
the output is located on the rear of
the unit and is accompanied by a
master volume control. the power
switch and LED are from the original
unit and the power jack has been
replaced by a BOSS-style center-
negative 9v power jack.
the atari synth was a one-of-a-kind instrument but fridgebuzzz electronics is currently working on a handheld version.
