Electronic Music DIY Component Order Form (Rapidonline.com)

I thought I’d put together a kit of the components you’ll need to get started with Nicolas Collins excellent book “Handmade Electronic Music” My review and videos HERE. I decided to do this because it took me quite a few attempts to obtain the correct parts from uk suppliers to make the projects in the book. I thought it would be great to be able to get all the parts in one go without having to pay multiple shipping charges and risking not getting the correct components. Included in the kits are everything suggested in the book with the exception of a few components which were left out due to high cost, unavailability, or because you may never actually use it.

The only things not included are: Wire (you’ll need some, solid core, stranded, shielded) telephone coil Pickup, Inductor, Transformer, Phototransitor (LDR’s or Light Dependent Resistors ARE included),Fixed Voltage Regulator (variable Regulator IS included). That said you will be able to build 95% of what is in the book including all the chip based CMOS noise maker  circuits.

The Kit contains:

• 5 x 1/4″ Jack male
• 5 x 1/4″ Jack female
• 4 x 9v Battery Clips (good quality)
• 10 x Heavy Duty Crocodile clips / leads
• 2 x Electret Microphone Elements
• 6 x 1M Lin Potentiometer
• 6 x 10k lin Potentiometer
• 4 x 10k log Potentiometer
• 2 x Piezo Transducer
• 6 x Photoresitor
• 610 piece Carbon Film resistor kit
• 92 x Assorted Capacitors kit (values for the book)
• 6 x Super Bright LED’s
• 6 x Signal Diode
• 3 x CMOS HEX SCHMITT TRIGGER chips
• 3 x CMOS QUAD 2 INPUT NAND SCHMITT TRIGGER chips
• 2 x CMOS 12 STAGE RIPPLE CARRY chips
• 2 x CMOS HEX INVERTERS/BUFFER chips
• 2 x CMOS MICROPOWER PHASE LOCKED LOOP chips
• 2 x CMOS DECADE COUNTER/DRIVER chips
• 1 x POWER AMPLIFIER chip
• 1 x ADJUSTABLE VOLTAGE REGULATOR
• 1 x Solar Cell
• 2 x 8 pin DIL socket
• 4 x 14 pin DIL socket

Download the Handmade El Music Rapid order.xls, I really like getting stuff from Rapid, delivery is quick (for UK residents at least), and much cheaper than Maplin. But make sure you order enough to avoid paying the delivery charge! 

Best of luck,
