Use the preceding circuit, but replace the
1mF capacitor (C7) with the 100mF
capacitor (C4, “+” on left) or 470mF
capacitor (C5, “+” on left). You will hear a
click at regular intervals. The interval
depends on the RV setting, it could be
several per second or many seconds apart.
Build the circuit as shown and
turn on the slide switch (S1).
Press keys on the keyboard
(U26) and move the lever on the
adjustable resistor (RV) to
change the sound. Push the
press switch (S2) to change the
pitch of the green keys. There
may not be any sound at some
settings on RV.
Use the preceding circuit, but replace
the 0.1mF capacitor (C2) with the 1mF
capacitor (C7). The pitch of the green
keys is lower when S2 is pressed.
