Stimming reviews IK Multimedia’s UNO Drum (Electronic Beats TV)

Published on Jul 1, 2019 Telekom Electronic Beats

"Our Telekom Electronic Beats TV’s resident gear expert, Martin Stimming returns to experiment with the IK Multimedia UNO Drum. The analog/PCM drum machine, made in collaboration with Italian manufacturer Soundmachines, has six true analog voices, 12 PCM voices with 54 samples and a 64-step sequencer. Let’s see what Stimming thinks of this budget-friendly machine for sale at just €289."

"IK Multimedia Uno Drum is a twelve voice analog and PCM drum machine with sequencer .
It's also got a analog voices - 11 voice polyphonic with 12 twelve voices all together I guess that's because of the closed and the open hi-hat .

It's gonna be €249 and available in one month."

Nerd On The Wire DrumKid "aleatoric" Drum Machine

Published on Aug 22, 2019 Nerd On The Wire

Nerd On The Wire also brought us the Synth Guitar for DesignSpark Summer of Sound Challenge, and PolyMod open source modular synthesizer for Hackaday 2018.

"DrumKid is an 'aleatoric' drum machine, meaning it uses random numbers to determine the rhythm and sound of a drum beat. It comes in a handheld, battery-powered unit, designed for live performance.

This is my entry video for the 2019 Hackaday Prize - the Hackaday project page can be found here: https://hackaday.io/project/164521-dr...

This project is open source - all design files can be found here: https://github.com/mattybrad/drumkid"

"Drum machine are ubiquitous in modern music, but playing them live presents a challenge. When playing electronic rhythms live, whether using a drum machine or a laptop, it can often appear that a musician is simply pressing "play" on a backing track, removing much of the perceived spontaneity of a live performance.

My drum machine, DrumKid, aims to tackle this problem by using a variety of controls to alter a drumbeat live, using randomly generated drum hits which augment the original beat. Rather than being designed as a pre-programmed backing instrument, DrumKid aims to be a playable instrument in its own right, with continuously adjustable controls that work well in a live setting. My intention was to create an engaging, interactive device that, like any musical instrument, can be mastered over time with practice.

DrumKid is an open-source, hackable product based around an ATmega328 chip, as found in an Arduino Uno. The final product features a minimalist design consisting of a single PCB with buttons, knobs, and LEDs mounted on one side, and all other components mounted on the other side. Two laser-cut sections are used to protect the electronics.

I now have a fully working prototype of DrumKid, and I am happy with the audio quality, playability, aesthetics, durability, reliability, and battery life. I am planning to make a small, initial batch of DrumKid units in September to distribute to musicians for testing. After any necessary updates to the PCB design and/or firmware, I hope to build a larger batch of units and launch DrumKid for sale around November/December 2019.

DrumKid can also be constructed as a breadboard/stripboard project using an Arduino Uno - see the build instructions for details."

KORG VOLCA BASS vs. VOLCA NUBASS // COMPARISON // + UNO Drum

Published on Nov 20, 2019 LESINDES

"KORG VOLCA BASS and KORG VOLCA NUBASS -- so how do they compare?

This video is dedicated to the 2 machines. They're playing the same pattern -- due to the higher bass note and the sub and its massive tube distorsion NUBASS is a bit more assertive and therefore the level of BASS is lifted for 1 dB.

In order to make it more realistic I had it accompanied by fabulous ik multimedia UNO DRUM."

MOOG MINIMOOG + UNO DRUM // PURE ANALOG

Published on Oct 30, 2019 LESINDES

"This is another episode of PURE ANALOG here with VINTAGE synth OBERHEIM SEM (= Synthesizer Expander Module). Two of these SEM units make the sound engine of a TWO VOICE (TVS) and four of them obviously a FOUR VOICE -- PURE ANALOG is a project to find out and show the qualities of analog synthesizers and eventually also hybrids. And exciting Question is also how contemporary synths like this lush GRP A-2 or EREBUS NYX compare to vintage legends like MINIMOOG or ARP ODYSSEY or ROLAND JUPITER 4 etc. So this piece will be played and performed with different synths in the future track by track recorded in DAW without any equing or otherwise processed in DAW, no add modulation, reverb, saturatio or other FX. Only a mastering compressor, EQ and Limiter is used on the sum. So what you hear is completely un-FX-ed material -- almost impossible to find these days!!!"

"Beat707 is an Arduino Shield that adds several neat features to your musical arsenal. You get a 32 step machine, with 16 step buttons and leds, LCD screen and navigation keys. It's like the classic Roland TR707 but with some twists, as it actually has 32 x 1/32 or 32 x 1/64 steps. Plus, the 2 note-step sequence feature allows you to do bass and/or synth lines -- it's a MIDI groove-box all in one ! The unit doesn't produce any sound, it's all MIDI based, so you can use any MIDI compatible device.

The unit doesn't produce any sound, it's all MIDI based, so you can use any MIDI compatible device.

This project is a joint collaboration between Wusik.com and Rugged Circuits. We've made a proper Arduino shield that plugs in on top of an Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, or Mega/Mega2560 (not included). The software performs all the drum machine functions, but you can always tweak it to do whatever you want (with the source code purchase). We've added EEPROM, FLASH, and expandability options and connectors.

And it's not just a drum machine: the hardware is a general-purpose MIDI development platform and playground. The awesome software from Wusik.com is what provides the drum machine functionality, but you can run any software you want on your Arduino to make use of the hardware.

Here are the project specs:
Arduino shield that plugs on top of an Arduino Uno, Duemilanove, Mega, or Mega2560
512 kbytes of FLASH (beyond what's on the Arduino)
32kbytes of EEPROM (beyond what's on the Arduino), expandable to 128kbytes by adding more EEPROM chips (total of 4 EEPROM slots)
16 buttons with LED for each button
8 buttons for control functions (intended for up, down, left, right, shift, play, stop, record)
16x2 LCD with backlight
MIDI IN and MIDI OUT interfaces
System operation at 5V or 3.3V
Designed to be compatible with Arduinos as well as Netduino and FEZ Panda

The Wusik.com drum machine software provides:
14 Drum Tracks + 2 Accent Tracks (a total of 3 MIDI-note velocities can be sent from each step)
2 Step-Sequence Tracks (each step has its own Note selection, Velocity is set by the accent tracks)
Multi Pattern and Song Mode
Number of Patterns and Songs depends on the total amount of system EEPROM -- the base system provision of 32kbytes of EEPROM has enough for 94 patterns and 99 songs positions. The included Flash Nand memory can hold up to 42 songs. (see more below)
Each pattern has 32 x 1/32 or 32 x 1/64 steps and 14 tracks + 2 accent tracks
Each track has a note-number and MIDI-channel number, so you can also use tracks to output regular notes (one note fixed per track)
Optional MIDI echo (set during compilation and uploading of the Sketch)
File Mode for storing up to 42 songs into the internal Flash. With options to Load, Save, Dump to SySex MIDI and Erase"
