Hey, Sorry it’s hard to read. We don’t have access to the original schematic file anymore, so we can not change it, but If you bring the pdf into a photo editing software (ms paint, or GIMP) you could reverse the colors, and then at least it would be a white background.
Thanks, not to sound like a kook. I put mine together and it sounds great. I am just itching to see what mods I can do. You guys still rock. Playing with my Junk, I hear alot of sounds I feel in love with on my 2600.
Hi; I just finished building the AJC and am installing it in a cigar box.
It makes some pretty cool sounds on its own, but I’m curious about the LFO and CV. On your video you have a very nice sequencer gadget, but I don’t have one. Any ideas about more basic or common electronic objects I could plug into those jacks?
What does the LFO expect? What does the CV expect?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
Hey Erik,
The AJC is a super fun noise maker!
-The LFO input is available if you wanted to take another oscillator and combine it with the signal of the AJC. By plugging another sound source into that input, you are replacing one of the AJC oscillators with this new input signal. This way you can mangle other oscillators to make them sound nuts!
-The CV input typically deals with voltages but can also be used with other oscillators/loud sound sources. When sending voltage into the CV input, the pitch will change as you change the voltage going in. But sending crazy oscillator sounds will also allow you do some weird frequency modulation stuff!
Just built the Astronoise and it is great! I was wondering if there was a way to mod it so I get more of the tonal sounds at the top end of the Rate control. As it is, it percolates for most of the fader throw, and only does pitchy stuff in the last 1/4 of the turn. I was wondering if using a 1M pot instead of a 100k would achieve this. Or if there was a way to perhaps “widen” the range of the last 1/4 of the knob turn to more gradually shift through the changing sounds. I definitely want to build more of these. Thanks!
Hi Matt, glad you’re liking the circuit! You could swap the pot for an audio/logarithmic pot. You can also try changing it out for a 20k, that has a nice response.
great circuit, but how about one we can actually read?

Thank you very much! I have a 4093 NAND synth from a year or so ago. Think I’ll plug it into the AJC and see what happens. Thanks again!
