I Made a Drum Machine!

[@AlbertNystrom]

The new Drum machine - CRUM DRUM is now for sale here: www.thonk.co.uk/shop/crum-drum/

[@matteoini]

hi, but in this version (in the video) it is not possible to insert the clock in? :( Next week I'll order your new car on thonk!

[@bloopbleepnothinghere]

Why did you change the design 😢? I much prefer the knobs per channel, having to use a knob to switch instruments makes jamming like this impractical. Bummer.

[@loopop]

What a fun box!

[@AlbertNystrom]

Wow, thanks! That means a lot, big fan of your work! Keep up the great stuff!

[@loopop]

@@AlbertNystrom 🙌🏻🙏🏻

[@arnaldocap0]

No joke, this sounds better than many drum machines now a days

[@tylergates4075]

Better than drumbute for sure

[@JohnSmith-pn2vl]

acrtually this is the worst sounding instrument i ever heard

[@Jdinrbfidndifofkdndjoflfndjdk]

@@JohnSmith-pn2vl Tell me which one you like? I'm on the Perkons side of things so I like it dirty. I want a miami acidlab for more classical

[@McTroyd]

I specifically like how there's no setting of the beats... it's all self-generated. If one isn't too picky about the drum beat, hit Play and off you go. Neat project, and thanks for sharing the code. 👍

[@AlbertNystrom]

Yes! I find it pretty refreshing not having full control over the beat. And you have some control over the beat by lowering the probability of certain instruments. If there's to much snare in a beat for example, you could just lower the probability of the snare!

[@inthefade]

It's cool with a machine like this to just record for a couple hours and then chop it up into usable bits for later use.

[@a_nick_t]

All you need is a way to clock it. Preferably MIDI. Keep it simple! It sounds great and beats a lot of high dollar drum machines! 😎👍🏼

[@24framemedia]

I'd be interested if you build a 2.0 as long as it could sync tempo via cv/gate/midi It sounds very good!

[@noomnoom8469]

Why dont you design one?

[@24framemedia]

@@noomnoom8469 not my forte, lol.

[@kylesilver844]

This is really cool. Forget a 2.0 version. I love it as it is today! Lets us know if you ever put these into production. I would buy one.

[@kriminalrekordz]

Man this is a killer machine. PLEASE DO a version you'll take on sale!

[@AlbertNystrom]

Thanks! I'm working on it, subscribe and you'll be notified when the new version is for sale!

[@sehr_interessant]

Respect - great job!

[@robinschroder7594]

Fast DnB Jam is like instant 90s Autechre (Flutter), I love this project - congratulations with it!

[@AlbertNystrom]

Thanks! Yeah, I just listened to Flutter and it's actually pretty similar!

[@davidjazay9248]

This is the most original sounding drum machine I have heard in a long time, and I'd totally buy one.

[@georgegeez8708]

This thing sounds sick. I want one. I will be following to buy one in the future. Great stuff. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@sokoleski]

This IS fantastic... some CV in , perhaps Gate , accent out, and of course CLOCK IN/OUT/RESET and this one is Golden 💚

[@aaiieenn]

This sounds so cool! Would be great to also get a MIDI in for the next version :D I'd definitely buy it!

[@hellf.o]

Wow buddy this is so awesome that instantly recalled me the Pulsar 23 by Soma..! That Probability/Randomness section is just mesmerizing exactly what I'd need for my music! Subscribed for more!👍

[@discodivo9045]

this is so delicious. if version 2 can be synced i'd love to get one :) a nice volca style sequencer would be even greater :)

[@canvasus3903]

Really like your slightly unconventional projects. You make really good use of the audio library, this sounds easily as good as many mega-projects out there. As others mentioned, with just some rudimentary CV functions you have an attractive Eurorack product there.

[@AlbertNystrom]

I've added eurorack as well as midi clock in and out for 2.0! Will hopefully be ready for sale in a couple months! 😊

[@Jamesjimjimmy]

@@AlbertNystrom im very interested. Would love to hear back when you have an estimated price :)

[@bastard2934]

@@AlbertNystrom Awesome! Subscribing and looking forward to it A LOT! Such a drumachine in euro format would be really cool, especially with separate outs for each voice

[@manuelbauer994]

Sounds nice! I would buy the 2.0🔥

[@Vihapiirakka]

CV tempo sync and cv control for some of the parameters and I'd definitely buy one.

[@doomtomb6522]

*Yes please sell a 2.0 version sounds great!*

[@JulioAvalos3000]

That thing is fire. I would buy it if it were in production. Kudos.

Very cool! Got many sweet spots, and need the drive - good work 👍

[@BrianB]

oh man! i've been looking for an affordable drum machine that can create drum sounds like Big Red Machine's. this comes very close. i'll buy one right away when it goes into production! great job!!

[@sisterzzbro4215]

Thats pretty cool, Sir!

[@carllewis6745]

Nice mate!

Great work! Absolutely fantastic! Will build a unit and get back to you. Kindest regards.

[@henryspencer9849]

Fantastic work ! It sounds already amazingly original and I can't wait to hear some more with loads of FX pedals ! 😄 You really have done something great here. Congratulations and hope you'll do some more in the near future.

[@EvanBurnetteMusic]

Wow the RAND knob is doing a lot of great work!

I was expecting to find an analog circuit inside, but surprised to find a teensy under the hood. Well done.

[@firehandszarb]

that sounds bangin'

[@AlbertNystrom]

Thanks!!

[@treat_audio]

sounds wicked, dude!!! Great job 🎛🦾

[@x10dc90]

It sounds very cool and punchy. Impressive.

[@yomgaille]

A pretty unique sound, and I love the random generation of pattern that makes it creative as hell, you would never come up with these beats, I like a machine with its own mind! The only thing I miss is a simple MIDI sync, no other function is needed to me, it's great as it is 😎

[@KiR_3d]

Riktigt ball och orginell burk! Tror verkligen att folk skulle köpa den både som kit och premade om den får framförallt synk. Bra jobbat!

[@AlbertNystrom]

Tack så jättemycket!

[@9VDC]

Three more questions: 1. On your chassis you have a "Beat" button that is not connected to anything... true? In the video you are only pushing the "Play" button, is this the button that goes to the "generate" pin in the schematic? 2. Where is the LED of the Play button connected to? In the schematic, there is no 4th LED... 3. In the end of your video you show the guts of your machine. Is there a reason for breaking out an extra 3.5mm socket from the UDA1334s output? Or just extension... Thanks mate for sharing this project with us, and for answering that quickly ;-)

[@juliloaiza]

This is so unique and will open a lot of doors for creativity! I love it, saving this video and subscribing, I'm buying it immediately if it goes into production!

[@Bruceanddenise]

Very freakin' cool!

[@shinseusagi224]

Krell-like function is awesome. Also love eurorackness of it too. Don.t get me started on the sounds a bit like erica synths and thick (not at all robot farty 🤣) Fabulous job, man! Where's the kickstarter?!

Man my hypothetical Nine Inch Nails cover band is gonna love this

[@semi788]

amazing

[@beatsandbuttons]

Awesome!

[@ianmorton1799]

I love the sound, but I only really like randomness as a jumping off point. I do like my songs to sound close if not the same each time though, being able to control it with a bsp or the like where I can save patterns rather than have a different one each performance that may or may not fit with the other synth parts would really make this attractive to me. Because the pure sounds themselves are so unique and cook sounding, in a sort of industrial kind of way. Such good stuff.

[@grantnordean839]

Swing knob is tight ✌🏻

Cool interesting sounds! Well done.

[@Cray23_Official]

Thanks for sharing you effort with world, I’ll attempt to build it at some point and share results with you;) sounds really great! Big ups!

[@mrcwalker33]

sounds very good!

[@tresporros]

hats off for your work mate!, it's very clever beatbox, but without midi IN/OUT, sync and only random sequencer - it's just a toy .... sound wise - you made it very well, it's interesting sound, creative, just upgrade it with MIDI so you can sequence it from external sequencer, and I will be the first one to buy it!

[@AlbertNystrom]

Ive added midi and eurorack clock and a few other features for the next version. It will be available for sale in the near future!

[@DeathTrapProductions]

this is really cool. Add cv for switching the 3 voice types and you have a basimilus iteras alter.

[@AdanHernandez-hc8sf]

It would be nice to buy you one of your machines. Not only in order to support you, but also because I really like it and it seems very intuitive to play
