[@gerryjamesedwards1227]

I saw you on Point Blank, and here I am! I'm nearly finished a resto job on a Tek 2467B 'scope and then I'm starting to build an analog synth. I'm on enough weed and tramadol that your antics make perfect sense... your delivery kind of reminds me of a mental, middle-of-the-night, staggered-in-from-the-club-hungry cookery program from the nineties. Chip butties with crisps and pepperami, sort of thing. I learned useful lessons from that, too! Carry on!

I noticed that in your diagram you included plans for a "trigger in" socket but decided not to include it in your final build. What could I use that socket for, if I wanted to include it in my Big Button? An additional clock source?

[@LordOfTheDeceased]

I ought to smack myself for not building more shit. I had to build a guitar pedal of my choice to graduate physics 2. We had to source the parts that weren't on hand if we wanted to make something cool, and even draw, treat, cut, and print the circuit boards ourselves based on the schematics we had to create or find online. When the project started I was dumfounded our teacher thought we could handle this, and when it was done I was more surprised I hadn't tried it before. There's not much out there more rewarding. Everyone should build more shit, it makes the world a little bit better.

[@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER]

[@Rimpala]

If I ever make this I'm totally going full 80's aesthetics on it, beige plastic, computer keys for buttons and all this Eurostile font that lets you know how futuristic it is. Or maybe Avant Garde, with all the A's skewed to one side. It'll say look mom no 808... I'm poor.

[@johnny2hats2]

I have been dreaming up a device that will do this - but then send the triggers from the big button module to midi out so I can trigger any midi drum machine ( that does not have trigger inputs) I imagine it would be called " trigger in to midi out" - but I cannot find a eurorack module or device that does this anywhere. Lil help please!!

[@davefx7949]

Name some music groups that I can listen to that sound like this guy......Please.

[@GFACE83]

I just built this and i'm having some problems, mainly its the big button and its LED. when I press the big button nothing registers at all and nothing happens with the LED. I know the circuit is working because the FILL button works. I'm not good at programming but can understand whats going on. Can someone explain why the big button that is connected to A5 is called pin 19 in the code, as there is no pin 19 on the NANO. Also Big button LED which is connected to A3 is called pin 20.

Really nice! Made it for Eurorack yesterday, works like a charm, just have one question, The ground on the trigger outputs, why isn't that grounded to the rest? Is this for any particular reason? I mean, as I said I have done it to your specs and it works fine, just curious (and don't dare test...)!

The shit you make is some kind of insane magical wizardry and I understand none of it. but please for the love of god keep doing it.

[@satibel]

it's pretty easy to understand, you send pixies to the correct wire, and the wav trigger sends singing pixies (i.e. sound) out according to which wire they came in. the arduino saves the time you take between each button press and sends pixies out on the channel it's recorded in with the same timing.

You can get little MP3 player modules that take an SD card, and they cost < $€2 each. 8 of them gives you a full(ish) drum kit.

[@pamelamerritt2168]

Sam, sending u alot of resisters. Thankfully they don't weigh much

[@marsmediapro]

SSSSSSam!!! You added the following: "THERE HAS BEEN A MODIFICATION TO THE ABOVE IMAGE. the wire going off to the BIG BUTTON LED. is now on pin A3, so just solder that wire to the point on the stripboard that is connected to the arduino pin labelled A3" just after I printed the dang drawing! BUT! Where does the 3-pin D. C. power jack get connected? Saaaam!

[@RosalvoParadella]

Please, make a New version this project with midi out. To Control Midi sound modules... Its great !! God bless you.

[@jmfhsmith4923]

You know by far one of the most fun and simple to use drum sequencers is the Boss DR-660 drum machine. The sounds are kinda crap though. If only I had a kind of MIDI break-out trigger box with MIDI Velocity controlled VCAs I could run analog drum modules through so that I can trigger any drum module with velocity to volume control on every sound! I'm sure that would be supper expensive to set up in Eurorack format. :(

[@JohnBaronian]

I have the Raleigh Chopper (Lime Green since I was 10 now I'm 62). But where can I find some negative legs of some LEDs?

[@martyhogan2209]

[@ellopropello]

can you explain how the clock input is handled in the arduino? i see no reading of clkIn. the pinmode is set to input, but i can't find where the input is actually used ok, i changed the line for the interrupt to this: attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(clkIn), isr, RISING )

[@bunksrevenge4489]

shit I might actually do this man. You are a true inspiration. All I've ever done is replaced the fuse in a synth

[@MediaMusik777]

Does this type of sequencer have a name? A clever name. Not going for "BIG BUTTON SEQUENCER".

[@ameliedupraz1009]

I don't understand anything of what you're doing, I just love listening to your accent

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

It can seem challenging at first. If you really want to do this, it might be good to start out with a kit. Maybe a MFOS Weird Sound Generator. Or a guitar pedal from DIY guitar pedal. The 6 minute fuzz is easy. You just populate the board with the correct components according to the directions and soldier them in. Or in the case of the 6 minute fuzz, just soldier the components. Just for anyone looking to get into it, it's possible. If a chowderhead like me can do it, anyone can. Lol.

[@stefan1024]

Great concept! I have several sequencers but I might gonna try this, looks like a fun way to jam. btw, have you ever overfed your furbys to turn them evil? Might be an option for your furby organ. Or doesn't it work with the original models? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGayZ52Xmp6ej68
