dUb STep ARCADE
ANALOGUE SOUND FX CONSOLE

The dub~Step~Arcade is a analogue sound FX synthesiser featuring both the modulated tone characteristics of the popular DUB~SIREN sound FX unit's and the stepped pitch computer esc tone's of the STEPPED TONE GENERATOR by Forrest Mims (know as the ATARI PUNK CONSOLE) hence the name Dub Step Arcade!

The D~S~A extends the basic principles of the two circuit's adding common synthesiser features such as Voltage control, Attack-Decay Envelope generator Voltage controlled amplifier and LFO Modulator !!.

The Dub~step~arcade is available as a pre-build Ready to play unit (limited supply) or as a D-I-Y kit for you to build yourself. All The electronic components as well as pots,knobs, switches and jack sockets are provided with the kit
(see parts list) or you can just buy the PCB (printed circuit board) and source your own your owns parts. (GOTO THE MAGIC MESS SHOP)

The kit comes with the ability to be powered by either battery or by 9Vdc from a transformer (with a 500ma rating). The design has a voltage regulator (9v) to protect against wrong polarity and ensure pitch range stability.
