Wow, this is just great. I was thinking of building a function generator for one of the electronics only you tube channels, like mjlorton or eevblog but I will do it from this demonstration. Very inspirational and inventive. I love the use of the DSO138 and the breadboard work. It is great in getting a feel for the values of capacitors and resistors. The visual presentation using the whiteboard, and the breadboard together is an inspiration idea. Very little repetition here and absolutely no danger warnings! I will look at all this guys you tube posts.

A note to other diy synth newbies like myself: If you’re moved to invest in the materials needed to build these circuits and follow along as well as hopefully furthering your experimenting, know this: these oscillators only sound as good as your amplified audio source. I just found out just how good these circuits can sound through a powered studio monitor with decent bottom end. Life changing. Invest in the best audio setup for this stuff as you can and you will be VERY motivated to make and learn more once you hear how good this handful of parts can sound. Trust me. Peter, you sir are GOLDEN. ❤️

Hey there! Could I get some help? After hours and hours of trying, I couldn't get this to work. I made 1 oscillator, wired it up to clock, got /2 /4 /8, wired that up to A B C, but I guess I couldn't figure out how to wire up pots. I made 2nd oscillator, audio oscillator, on the same 40106, wired right leg of each pot to upper input, and connected every middle leg to one of the inputs on multiplex, took the output of multiplex and connected it to oscillator output. But I get nothing, or some random clicking and noises...I don't know what could it be, I use external PSU to power up everything, and sometimes I even get some strange feedback from the clock outputs on oscillator output even if they are not connected (except power rail). I connected Vss, Vee and INH to ground, which I found in the manual for multiplex. Also, multiplex draws a lot of current I guess, since it got really hot if connected to 12V right away, If i place current limiting resistor, then it gets hot instead. Idk, I might just broke the multiplexer, the clock outputs work fine with 1 oscillator, but as soon as I connect them to A B C i get noise and volume drop...I know that wasn't clear explanation, but I'm quite tired from trying to fix this. If someone has an idea, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Like the little scope. CD4060 has a few advantages and can be used mostly like a 4040, cascade if needed. 74HC4060 ( 4040,4020 ) has higher current and plenty of volts for most things. It is 5V logic. CD is higher voltage when required. All seem to cope with a bit of abuse as the Ron of the output devices is mostly self limiting.

@bubagoo
@bubagoo 8 жыл бұрын
You can connected multiple MUX chips together and have them share address bits. This makes each MUX run through the same steps at the same time. One MUX controls pitch. One controls the lights and one could be passing the final audio signal through 8 steps. Each step can have a switch to determine if the signal will go to the amp or not. This would allow you to mute the signal for each step.

@bubagoo
@bubagoo 7 жыл бұрын
ello propello hey! For power I would use an external supply, not powering it from the arduino. Somewhere between 5 and 9 volts DC at 50ma or more. As far as sequence length, skipping steps etc, the multiplexer style sequencer is far more flexible than a standard scrolling 8 step sequencer. The step is assigned by sending binary signals to three data input pins. You can choose any step you want this way, skip around the steps, run backwards, etc. this is especially easy if you use the arduino as your data generator

@bubagoo
@bubagoo 8 жыл бұрын
Yes you can use a CD4067 16 channel multiplexer. BUT the cool trick of this sequencer is that you use different patterns of bits (to the binary address inputs) to determine the sequence. So you have a bank of 8 notes (in this case) but the way you access the notes can make very very long patterns. It's a different way to think about sequencing. Less intuitive than the traditional scrolling sequencer. But much more flexible and, in my opinion, much more playful and musical.

Hey Peter, I'm happy to say that I ordered an OHM Synth with the sequencer kit. Can't wait for it to come in. However, in the meantime, I have been trying to get this 8 step sequencer to work with out it with little success. I should say that I am a total newbie when it comes to this. My only experience with electrical is with my job (Mechanic) and my home. I am fairly good with schematics but I do not consider myself a pro. After many start overs and much trouble shooting, I finally have it sequencing, but I can't get my 8 pots of the sequencer to change pitch. Also, when I jump my number three leg of the second 4051 to the output of my audio oscillator, I lose all sound completely. I know that I have to be missing something even though I maticulously try to follow the schematic. Hoping maybe you could throw out some suggestions. I have tried to follow the schematic, the colored diagram of the sequencer hooked up to the OHM Synth, and your video. Although, I think I confuse myself trying to combine knowledge from all three at the same time lol. As far as the schematic and the colored diagram of the circuit with the OHM Synth, are they exactly the same circuit? To me, the two seem to have some discreptencies. Thanks a ton, Clint Edit: I got it Working!! I had all 8 pots bussed together, but i didn't have them going to the input of my oscillator. now just need to figure out how to get more range. I'm using 100k pots but very little room to play with pitch.

casperelectronics synthesizers I have a 1uf capacitor for my audio oscillator and a 10uf for my LFO. For the audio I tried .1uf also. What I mean by range is, I only have approximately 1/8th of rotation on my pots before it cuts off completely between the high and low range. I was able to extend it some by tweaking both the LFO and audio oscillator, but not much. Also, when I did this, as I would turn the pot, let's say from right to left, I would go from a low pitch to about a mid range pitch, drop back low then back up to a high pitch until it cuts off. What could cause that?

So when you encounter problems like this on testing circuit designs that you know work, it's often best to just tear it down and start over

Has anybody built the 8 step sequencer from the build layout ? I'm wondering where the small red jumpers right in front of the pots on the breadboard go?

Because using a MUX allows you to jump around your sequence in non linear patterns. I find this much much more interesting than the traditional 8 step sequencer that always sequences the steps in the same order

Thank you for taking the time to clarify these techniques! I'm a big fan of your site and work. I was curious if you could share the identity of the sampling chip? I've been trying to get clean repeating sampling from some toys and stuffed animal innards but it's just not cutting it. Whatever you're using in the afterparty there is exactly what I need! Thank you again, I've been struggling to make the 555 chip solve all my problems, and now it's clear that there are simple alternatives.

The sampler chip is the ISD1820. But don't be fooled! It's not clean! But it does sample and loop. This is the topic of the next video

!! I actually obtained that very same chip a few days ago! I'm having a blast with it, and granted the quality is poor, but the delay time in the looping is decent. I'd like to get rid of that annoying click, but I can live with it. I'm currently experimenting with putting the output through an op amp acting as a comparator to get peak activated triggers from recorded audio for more interesting sequencing rhythms. I'm really looking forward to that video even more so now! Thank you for your reply, and have a good day!

+Raccoon Eating Cacti cool! but yeah.. the click is pretty annoying. i played around with some filter mods to remove it. similar to what were outlining. Some kind of simple level detector that detects and removes the click... but in the end i think i will just live with it.

+casperelectronics synthesizers maybe it would be possible to use the "end of sample" led to trigger a de-amplifying envelope... but i think its perfectly in time/phase with the click... so probably won't work.

I had not even considered that as a possibility! I gave up on getting rid of the click... Most of the applications I've been using the chip for have been either so sped up that it doesn't matter or very harsh and clicky in nature. for seamless textured loops the barbie karaoke delay works much better. Thank you for your replies.

27:00 I think that using sliders instead of turning knobs would be better for an input of the step sequences, because it would work like a piano roll: one could see the pitches as positions of the sliders, similar to notes on a staff.

Fantastic video and series! I hope the next part is about a drum machine , it would be pretty damn cool!! Just a question: i didn't get how all this can work if i don't have the black hardware part above the breadboard, and possibly where i could buy it. Also, what is that item that allow us to see the waves? It's pretty cool to have that thing while playing! You got a subbed ;) keep doing!

@rupertkennedy7964 8 жыл бұрын
The thing with the waves is an oscilloscope. Search "oscilloscope kit" and a bunch that are similar to the one in the vid will come up. There're around 20 bucks but you have to assemble them.

Great video, thanks a lot! Do you plan to make voltage controlled oscillator? I really like simplicity of NOT gate based oscillator, but resistance control makes sequencers and other stuff more complex.
@bubagoo
@bubagoo 8 жыл бұрын
+oleoleone Its easy to convert the gate based oscillators to be voltage controllable. I just didn't want to add another layer on top of a bunch of (probably already confusing) info in this video. I can post a schematic if you're curious.
