In this video, I build an actual physical synth out of resistors, capacitors, and a 555 timer. I then sample it and turn it into a synthwave-inspired Kontakt patch.
The Kontakt library I made in this video is available for FREE here: decentsamples.com/product/555-oscillator-synth-kontakt
The circuit I build in the video can be found here: learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/Voltage-controlled-oscillator-VCO-circuit-with-a-555-timer.php

Aside from its distinctive, homemade look, what makes this particular instrument unique is its resonator tubes β something one tends to see on larger instruments such as vibraphones and orchestral bells.
