Atari-Noise Board 1.2

 

 

An image received from Ricky Graham, who just received a batch of my Atari-Noise Boards. I hear he will be using them in his Musical Interaction Design class next semester at Stevens Institute of Technology.

 

Version 1.2 of my Atari-Noise Boards are for sale on the ‘kits’ page (even though the info & images have not been updated!). This version has a few tweaks and additional controls. New designs will be available in the future & I have been looking into creating synth housing kits to go with them.
