Build the circuit as shown. Place the circuit in

a quiet room. Connect the speaker (SP2)

using the red & black jumper wires, then hold

it away from the microphone (X1). Turn on the

slide switch (S1). Talk into the microphone or

press keys on the keyboard (U26), and listen

the echo on the speaker. Adjust the volume

using the knob on RV3. Adjust the amount of

echo using the lever on RV; move the lever up

for more echo or down for less echo. Try this

at different RV settings, because the effects

are very interesting with both high and low

echo amounts.
Note: You must hold the speaker away from

the microphone or the circuit may self-oscillate

due to feedback. You also need a quiet room,

with low background noise.

Project 267

Voice & Keyboard Echo

Build the circuit, and turn both

slide switches (S1). You hear

a sound pattern that is

synchronized with the color

LED (D8) flashing. Move the

lever on the adjustable

resistor (RV) to change the

sound produced. You can also

press keys on the keyboard

(U26) to change the sound.

Use the preceding circuit, but replace

the 1mF capacitor (C7) with the 0.1mF

capacitor (C2). The sounds are

different now.
