"DIY 8-bit drum machine loaded with own sample selection."

"modification of Dr.Bleep's Bleep Drum

info and resources: http://buranelectrix.com/burobleepdrum.html"

"Bleep Drum is neat tiny 8-bit sample player designed by Dr.Bleep of Bleep Labs (http://bleeplabs.com/store/the-bleep-drum).

BuroBleepDrum is modified version of this rad-fi little devil."

"What is changed against Bleep Drum v012/003
Hardware:
- single sided PCB (more DIY friendly)
- more analog circuitry for mixing signals
- stereo AUX input jack for connecting another sound source)
- trig in/out jack for synchronizing and experimenting
- powered with 4xAA batteries for longer life
Software:
- added external sync mode
- removed shift+tap+pot tempo setting option
- fixed reverse mode switching"

Microbe Modular Equation Composer Inspired by BitWiz

via clone45 on Muff's

"I'm extremely pleased to announce the upcoming release of the Equation Composer by Microbe Modular. Inspired by VIznut's "Algorithmic symphonies from one line of code" and the BitWiz Audio Synth, the Equation Composer creates a wide range of gritty, 8-bit sounding melodies, waveforms, and noise. The module is organized into CV selectable "programs" that range from simple equation playback to stuttery loops, and even wavetable playback and subtractive synthesis.

Internally, the Equation Composer is based on the powerful Arduino Due. Although the module has been built to be enjoyed "as-is", there's a prominent USB jack on the front for easy re-programming, and the software is open source and available on GitHub. 14 extra pins have been brought to an expansion header on the rear. The Arduno code itself is modular, allowing various software "modules" to be strung together into virtual synths. (Re-programming is recommended for advanced developers only and requires some C++.)

Hardware designed by John Staskevich. Software by Gaetan Ro and myself. Front panel design by Hannes Pasqualini. Additional sound design by Sunshine Audio. Special thanks to Josh at Toppobrillo for his support.

Width: 12HP
Current requrements: 170mA
Estimated release date: Early 2014.

Cheers,
Bret Truchan

Here are some audio samples. There's a lot more to come, including examples of more traditional (less 8-bit) sounds."

This is the first Microbe Modular post.

Update via Bret: "I forgot to mention that significant parts of the circuitry come directly from the Arduino Due Reference Design. Credits and thanks to the Arduino team for making it open source."

Modular Synthesizer

"A modular synthesizer for free?Not really, you'll have to purchase some modules to have fun with it...The App is really easy to use and very well thought out. Add a module, plug in the cables in the right place, and play. (Same way as the Korg iMS20). With a pinch you can zoom in and out of desired parts of your Synth. The landscape mode will be the best for you to play on the built in keyboard...
Here are some of the features
• Audiobus and background audio modes
• CoreMIDI control with external devices or internal sequencers
• 10 octave keyboard with classically styled arpeggiator
• Record and export live performances to Soundcloud, Sonoma Audio Copy, email and iTunes file sharing
To conclude:
If you love analog sounds, and not afraid of patching your modules between them, Modular is really great.
A killer Modular Synthesiser!"
