nebulatronix Circle Sequencer - "rotate" WORKING!

follow-up to this post.
"Here it is ... my customized MIDIbox 808 sequencer, called the "nebulatronix Circle Sequencer". The enclosure isn't ready yet.

To get this working, I first needed to accommodate for some miswired digital output ICs. Thorsten from ucapps helped me hack the OS to resolve this. Then I spent a few days learning PIC assembly code in order to write the 6 lines it took to implement the "rotate" function on the centre encoder!

You'll see that the encoder serves two purposes: (1) to select the instrument, (2) when turned while "shift" (one of the black buttons) is held down, it "rotates" the pattern as you turn the knob.

This is not me trying to show off my drum programming abilities. I'm just demonstrating a unique feature of this drum sequencer."

"It would seem I've wired most of the DOUT pins backwards, so it's not working exactly right ... yet"

please excuse the ugly, loud click at 1:20 -- must have hit something with my sleeve--it doesn't appear in the soundcloud audio track."

Buchla Thunder and 2 PerFourMers

Buchla Thunder and 2 PerFourMers from Katavist on Vimeo.

"My first tentative steps with the Buchla Thunder. 16 improvisations using this extraordinary MIDI-Controller on two Vermona PerFourMers. In the sixth piece (from 7:01) the Thunder plays seven internal sequences ("riffs") I had recorded beforehand. They can be scaled in real time, which I didn't do here though."
