Here is the "Smooth Cube" - Two squarewave oscillators pass through a timer to gate rhythms, then a low-pass filter takes the edge before greeting your ears. It also has an input jack to utilize the timer/filter chain for other instruments.
Listen:
Smooth Cube v1.0 (dry) - mp3 2mb
guitar through gate/filter mp3 1mb

The heart of the smoothcube is a circuit I found on Worth Ekik's site:

followed by:

and then capped off with an filter from:

My version of Ray Wilson's Weird Sound Generator is complete! This thing was a joy to build and I learned a lot in the process. I debated adding labels to each knob but in the end I decided I'd accentuate the mystery by leaving them blank. Does that make it an MSG instead of a WSG?
Sample to come . . .
