YouTube via bigcitymusic Here's a little ditty using the Elektron MonoMachine as a polyphonic MIDI module. We've made a basic patch with one of the FM machines and set the MonoMachine to poly mode. The Dave Smith MoPho is playing our bass line and the MachineDrum (also by Elektron) is providing the drum sounds. You can achieve interesting and bigger kick sounds (or any sound!) by layering.
Essentially you can program one pattern sequence, let's say kick 1, and have it trigger another, kick 2, at the same time. Maybe you like one kick drum sound for it's attack and another for it's low end. With this trigger function you can try out different combinations without having to reprogram the rhythm line over and over.
The MachineDrum is controlling the Mopho and the SFX-60 via MIDI."

Schematic can be made available if demand is high enough. This is one of my first 555 timer projects, and I'm a high school sophomore, so feedback is appreciated."

the sound is coming out of built-in speakers on my n810. the sound especially the bass is much better when plugged to good loudspeakers. the stereo rhythms are much better on good headphones.
more info see http://www.poojyum.com/boxar or http://garage.maemo.org/projects/boxar
thanks to disco_stu (freenode IRC @ #maemo, #liqbase) for his original boxar video also found on youtube and deep purple for 'smoke on the water'."
