Sorbet Punk Console

Here is my first attempt at DIY electronic music making devices – the Sorbet Punk Console. 

I ordered this wonderful kit from http://www.getlofi.com/?p=1462 bought myself a soldering iron, some solder and got to making the Sorbet Punk Console following the pretty straight forward instructions (even for a complete beginner like me). Having spent around an hour and around £20 I decided that a sorbet container was the perfect housing for my first project. This is mainly because the plastic is so easy to chop through and the plastic case I had bought really needed drilling (necessecity - the mother of invention).  I decided to deviate from the original kit and purchased a mini switch so that I could generate continuous tones without having to hold down a trigger button. This cost me less than £2 from Maplins.

I’m sure you’ll agree that this certainly is an item of true beauty and capable of similarly beautiful 8bit stepped tones. I would heartily recommend buying this kit as a way into DIY electronic noise machines being as the results are impressive given the small amount of effort and money required.
