Quad Oscillator Drone Synth

I have been working on a new circuit based around a Hex Schmitt IC.  This offers 4 oscillators and two buffers.  The oscillators are controlled through four potentiometers.  The oscillators are grouped into two pairs with a dual pot for each pair and an additional separation control to individualize each pair.

Volume control on the output, on/off switch and a standard 1/4" output jack.  The circuit runs on 9VDC.

Enclosure is made of die cast aluminum and I gave it a sort of scuff polished looked; something different than paint.  Great small design is easy to handle or perfect for placement on a table amongst other great synths ;)

Audio sample was recorded with the signal pushed through a delay and phaser effect.  On its own this is a great source for some drone type soundscapes and textures.
