Canted Clamor

Canted Clamor is a pitched noise (get it?) utility that can be used as a standalone sound generator or percussion source. Use it to dirty up modulations or as an FM source for other VCOs. The world is your oyster!

Canted Clamor consists of three stages: white noise, frequency/tone shaping of the white noise and a simple variable-rate oscillator with triangle and square outputs. CV input allows for pitch control of the oscillator (does not track 1v/Oct). Choose between two different feedback paths to create even noisier noise.

Schematic

As with any schematic found on the internet, exercise caution when building. Test the build before plugging it into your case. If you find mistakes in the schematic, or you have recommendations for improving the design, feel free to contact us and let us know.
