One Loop, One Function. Simple Arduino Music.
"I found this via BleepLabs twitter. Had to try it out by myself.
All the necessary info is here:
little-scale.blogspot.com/2011/10/tweetable-one-loop-one-function-simple.html
From Little-Scale blog:
"In general, I guess we can call this "index modulation", in the sense that we have a counter (i) that keeps track of a loop. The sound output is calculated on a sample by sample basis using a function that manipulates i in various ways (left and right shifting, multiplication, divide, modulo etc). The combined output for each sample is then output to the R2R DAC where the value is converted to a voltage, which can be sent to a piezo, an amp or an audio input.
I find these ideas very exciting - it's a very minimalist approach to creating sound and music on a basic level, yet the outcomes are at times complex, containing rhythm, pitch and structure."
Indeed, very exciting."

SYNDRUM QUAD Analog Electronic Drum Synth
via this auction
"This is the one-of-a-kind Syndrum Quad, the hard-to-find first electronic drum made famous by the likes of David Robinson of The Cars, Terry Bozzio, Roger Taylor of Queen and many others. If you've found this, you know what this is and the unique sounds it makes that you can't find anywhere else. The Quad was the most famous of the Syndrums models... Because the pads use a typical 1/4-inch plug, you could use different pads if you choose, such as Roland PD-8s. This rig also includes the Pollard Foot Pedal."
MPC electronics Vintage Analogue Drum Machine
via this auction
"rare 1982 drum machine/computer build by MPC electronics of Cambridge.
There are some problems with the unit:
The sequencer is not working. Might be down to a faulty battery?
Pads for tom 2, cl hi-hat and bass drum are not responsive.
But otherwise everything works 100% i.e. the 7 other sounds + pads together with all knobs and switches + individual, master and phones outputs. Also the unit is stable - powers up with no problems/no flickering lights etc.
The unit has the fully analogue sound of early drum machines like the 808 or other roland machines and plenty of knobs to shape the sound. It can be triggered from the 8 pads or from an inbuilt sequencer or remotely sequenced by a ZX81 / Sinclair 1000 (proper vintage) by a special interface cable. The sequencer works as a real time programmer recording the triggered pads. Besides mixed output and phones each sound has an individual output.Here is a run down of some of the features:
10 drum sounds:
Bass drum: pitch, decay, level
Snare drum: noise, pitch, decay, level
Hi-hat closed and open: tone, tightness, level
Cymbal: pitch, decay, level
Clap: level
Toms 1-4: bend, noise/tone mix, pitch, decay, level + a pitch and decay that affects all 4 toms
Level for phones and mix plus a mute swich
Switch for selecting between cymbal and clap or tom 3 and 4 for the pads
Switch for sequencer playback of clap or cymbal
DIN Sync in and out that works with roland stuff like 808, 606, 303 etc"
