Raspberry Pi GPIO Music Box | 424recording.com

In this video, I introduce the Raspberry Pi GPIO Music Box, a project I've been working on this past year. I also talk about some future expansion ideas for turning this into an open source electronic drum kit.

I modified the original work to fix a problem with delay on sound playback (detailed in this video). More info can be found at 424recording.com/raspberry-pi...

Good stuff Mike!

[@424Recording]

Thanks, Eric!

[@jasonelambeth]

I have no idea what you are talking about in this video, but I respect those killer beats that you're making.

[@424Recording]

Haha thanks, Jason 😎

[@MarcoFWSC]

Which Buttons do you use and how did the light in the buttons work ?

[@fratertater6130]

Isn't problem solving so rewarding! I've been fixing up a car in my spare time. It's fun just to use the brain in different ways. Quarantine is one hell of a drug.

[@424Recording]

Haha. Yeah! It really is. I was banging my head against the wall with this for a while, and finally figured out what the issue was after weeks of picking this up and putting it down. There's something to be said about objective problem solving and I'm sure the car is the same way: when it works, it works. What kind of car is it?

[@fratertater6130]

@@424Recording It's a '12 VW Beetle turbo. It has an engine in it I really like. I stage one tuned it. So, after that I upgraded the clutch, shifter, brakes, suspension, and exhaust. I went into the project not really having a clue how to work on cars. It's been a really cool learning process and having physical results is nice.

[@424Recording]

Dang that's cool, Jody and sounds like a fun and fulfilling project. I've always wanted to get into car repair; I like the idea of it being a finite system and cars always seem like a bad investment unless you know how to fix them!

Have you ever used samplerbox. It’s a free pi software that turns the pi pitched sampler and I think it can also do drums. I wonder if you could make a drum set for super cheap with it

[@424Recording]

I haven't! I need to check that out. That might be a better solution. Thanks, Kai!

[@bveracka]

I'll be honest, I only watched the first couple minutes (omw 2 work), but I think it's awesome you did a breadboard project with so much depth. An English guy by the name of "LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER" has a channel and a website _full_ of DIY projects I bet you'd love to see, if you haven't already! I'll be back to watch the rest soon.

[@424Recording]

Oh heck yeah! I'm actually a patron of Look Mum haha. The fact that you compared this project to what he works on is unbelievably flattering. Thanks for that, Olmstead! I would definitely like to go more in that direction so maybe this is a good start!

[@bveracka]

@@424Recording 😎Haha, what a coincidence! That is definitely a good start. Buy some breadboard, salvage some old electronics, and look up some of Sam's (and his fav. site links') beginner projects! 👍

[@424Recording]

That sounds awesome! Thanks for this recommendation

[@kjsdfasdufewufvj]

Would totally love more updates from this project!!! I just got into writing python code a few years ago so this is a complete merge of my interests. I have a portastudio getting fixed up and shipped to me in the next few days, should I add a raspberry pi too? 🤔

[@424Recording]

I haven't pulled this project out in a while! If I do, I'll definitely make an update video on it. I think if you search "Raspberry PI GPIO Music Box" there should be a link to raspberrypi.org with the beginning of the project

[@424Recording]

Haha seriously
