"Had to change the battery of my Future Retro Revolution today.

At first the good news:
It's a quite normal battery like you find it in your household or every supermarket.

At last the bad news:
You've to take care with the american screws, don't loose it. If they are driven to hard you'll have stress to open them without demolition of the housings surface."

4ms Tap Tempo module demo ALPHA version

YouTube via 4mspedals. http://4mspedals.com/
"An alpha version of a 4HP Tap Tempo Eurorack module triggering a drum module. At the end of the video a 4ms Shuffling Clock Multiplier beta version (which has a tap tempo clock, too) is running between the tap tempo module and the drum module. These two tap tempo clocks in series create a roll effect that resolves on the downbeat...

The Tap Tempo module has a tap button that can set the tempo and/or output direct pulses. A 3-position switch selects the mode:
-Down position: tap button directly outputs pulses (no internal clock)
-Middle position: tap button sets tempo of internal clock
-Up position: internal clock is locked in tempo, tap button outputs additional pulses"

"Simple demonstration of Mattel's 1983 Synsonics Drums. A perfectly capable and cheap (10-20$'s) analogue drum machine. Record a drum loop. Purposefully make the Cymbal/Memory key for that recording stuck under the casing lip. Break away."
