Dream Machine ambient noise generator

Dream Machine

A dumpstered ambient sound generator, probably from some old guy who died at the nursing home across from where I live. It had four samples – rainforest, ocean, forest, and heartbeat (just a really crunchy low thump – didn’t sound much like a heartbeat at all!) The circuit board was small and frustrating – not much to do with it, so I resorted to my basic Jungle Gear bends – clock speed alteration via a pot, and two awesome oscillator tones via two more pots. The result was surprisingly good, considering that I only had the four samples to work with.  I really want to find pictures of this one, it looked really good, so I'll keep looking.
