Powered by a 9V battery or adapter, this compact fiberglass kit delivers classic lo-fi square wave sounds with modern versatility. ## Description An easy-to-build, all board-mounted APC! With more stepped tones and better bass response, the APC Handheld is a new take on a classic circuit! Originally designed by DIY electronics guru Forrest Mims III as the “Stepped Tone Generator,” the Atari Punk Console is one of the most famous and recognizable Lo-Fi synth circuits ever. Using a single 556 dual timer IC with minimal part count, the Atari Punk Console circuit is a solid, time-tested noise generator capable of outrageous square wave madness! Features: Easy build for beginners! Stronger bass frequencies and more steps than the original. 2 Control Voltage (CV) inputs allows step sequencers and waveform generators to expand the sonic capabilities of the Atari Punk Console from drone to arpeggiated dynamism. Use any variable voltage source from 0-Supply Voltage for some glitchy goodness! 3 potentiometer controls - Frequency (VR2) and Pulse Width (VR3) contour the tone while the Volume control (VR1) sets your output just right. 1/4 inch mono jacks. Requires a 9V battery or a 2.1-2.5mm 9V center negative power supply of at least 50mA (not included). A Boss-style or one-spot adapter will work fine. PCB size: 83x53mm Important note about the CV Input: Make sure the tip of your cable is positive voltage, not to exceed 10V DC, and the sleeve is grounded (this is normal CV polarity). Plugging reversed polarity CV into your CV input may damage your unit and void your warranty ## Features - Easy project for beginners! - Stronger bass frequencies and more steps than the original APC - 3 potentiometer controls - Frequency (VR2) and Pulse Width (VR3) contour the tone while the Volume control (VR1) sets your output just right - 2 Control Voltage (CV) inputs allows step sequencers and waveform generators to expand the sonic capabilities of the Atari Punk Console from drone to arpeggiated dynamism - Requires a 9V battery or a 2.1-2.5mm 9V center negative power supply of at least 50mA (not included) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07F3518KC | | Body Material | Fiberglass | | Brand Name | Synthrotek | | Color | Clear/Translucent | | Connector Type | 1/4 Inch Jacks | | Included Components | 9V battery or power supply, 1/4 inch mono jacks, 3 potentiometers | | Item Weight | 0.08 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Synthrotek | | Material | Fiberglass, Copper, Metal | | Model Name | Atari Punk Console Kit | | Model Number | 7539525327 | | Part Number | 7539525327 | | UPC | 738676130928 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Synthrotek - **Colour:** Clear/Translucent - **Item weight:** 0.08 Kilograms - **Material:** Fiberglass, Copper, Metal - **Model name:** Atari Punk Console Kit ## Images ![APC Handheld DIY Kit - Atari Punk Console - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KeHmADLAL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Synthrotek APC Handheld DIY Kit - Atari Punk Console - 4093 Chaos NAND Handheld DIY Kit - LoFi Drone Oscillator Synth --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/559979107-apc-handheld-diy-kit-atari-punk-console](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/559979107-apc-handheld-diy-kit-atari-punk-console) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
