"Quick test of some of my DIY sequencer projects. I'm using a MIDI-TRIGGER converter inside one of the yellow drum machines to drive little DIY sequencers inside the Synth and the other yellow drum Machine.
The DIY sequencers inside these machines will respond the external 'clock' source and also 'reset' to return the sequence to the first step. So programming various 'click' tracks and 'reset' tracks over midi will enable me to drive / sync / reset / stop & start the DIY sequencers in these machines...............:)
Complex sequences can be programmed with cleaver use of the 'reset' trigger. Watch the pink LED's on the Synth, for a visual indication of how the sequencer is working.

The little yellow Drum machines are Lo-Fi Analog Drum Synths, both very heavily circuit bent & modded. The one on the left has loads of mods, new Amp & Mixer circuits and includes the "Engineers@work MIDI-TRIGGER Converter". The Drum Synth on the right has similar mods, and also contains an integrated Step-Sequencer and a Lo-Fi Space Echo (Basic PT2399 with some minor adaptations).

The Synth is an Awesome AMSTRAD CKX100, and also contains an integrated step-sequencer / Arpeggiator.

Bass-Line comes from a dusty old TB-303 clone with crackly pots (future project).

I'll try to make separate vids for each of these new machines when I get the chance.

BTW Sorry for poor vid / sound quality. As always, it's very late at night and I'm reduced to using cheap headphones or waking up the neighbors.............."
