Analogue Sequencer (DIY Rhythm Box)

YouTube via nathanielscott | July 07, 2010

"This video shows an old project I started nearly a year ago and then forgot about. I pulled it out of the closet and got it to work enough to at least make this video. What it is is a self contained sequencer (runs off its own 9V battery) that has one channel of voltage control and two channels of gate/triggers.

In this video you can see the little sequencer driving my modular synth which has Paia, Dot Com, and some of my self designed modules. The next step for this little sequencer is to build in three oscillators: one with a bass sound to be controlled by the voltage control to create simple bass lines, and a snare and drum sound generators to be triggered by the channels of gate/triggers. This would then make a simple self contained rhythm section box.

If all goes well I will likely sell the little device. Let me know if you are interested in it.

Lastly, you may notice that there are some shots of a spider and spider web cut in with the video. While I was shooting the video I discovered this spider above and to the right of my modular synth. So I decided to include the little beast. I believe that the spider is a male araneus gemmoides, but if you know better please let me know."

Note: I added a Nathaniel Scott label below.
