perfect is the enemy of

this is a small project i started at circuit control 2025, and just now finished the revised opamp section i messed up before (bottom left, obviously). it's a cd40106 that can be voltage starved and is used for 3 astable multivibrators (2 schmitt triggers each), 2 of which are connected to the output. the third one (pot bottom right) is just there to steal power from the other 2. to top it off, i connected random parts to random bits of the circuit until i got some sounds i liked. it's a bit finicky, but perfect is the enemy of.. it's basically Ralf Schreiber's idea of the "starvation synth", if you want to check that out further..
