Arduino Sequencer v1.7 Released!

Ok, Drum Mode has been tested, and seems to work correctly, so it’s time to unleash the latest version of the code to the world!

The only hardware change from v1.6 is to add a SPDT (or DPDT, and ignore one pole) on-off switch, with one leg going to 5V, one going to ground, and the center leg going to pin 4 (you can use something else, but you’ll need to change the code…)

Download the code here: sequencer_1_7.pde

Summer of Synth-DIY: Week 3

I didn’t get any actual construction work done, due to being out of town (this may become a bit repetitious for the rest of the month, since I’ve got stuff going on nearly every weekend…). I tried not to let this slow me down.

Sound Lab:

  • Got my 33k resistor and some nicer trimpots

Arduino Seq V2:

  • Played with the schematic some more (will post soon)
  • Started working on code
  • received RBBB Arduino kits (so yeah, I now have something like 8 Arduino (or compatible) boards…)

Big Baby 8:

  • Re-did the schematic in EAGLE.
  • received my 4017, so prototyping can maybe begin soon

SN-Voice:

  • Received first batch of parts (almost all resistors except the tempco and some caps)

Cigarbox modular:

  • Found some 1″ L-brackets (or as they call them, “corner braces”). I’d prefer smaller, but at this point I’m happy to have found anything. Many thanks to my dad, who helped me find them.
