Gotta update your link/name for me dude.. no longer called "lameboy" anymore wink

*Bump*

Short Circuit will be a bi-monthly or monthly event happening in Minneapolis Minnesota. An answer to anything chip/8-bit or electronic based music.
Hope to see you at the first show this friday!!!!

Really sorry to hear that.
i'd say buy another one and use the one you go for spare parts.
If you lived in the states i'd offer to buy your dead one so i could have a parts machine.

unless you know of a local tech in town, i just dont know if it's gunna be worth paying someone else to fix it.

These are great mixers for on the go gigs... i use one in my rig. nice, cheap disposable mixer!

happy bidding!

Low-Gain, I had an image from tinypic hotlinked, a screenshot of an analog 8-step sequencer board I've already laid out.  Based upon 4017s and 4066s, it also includes LSDJ and Nanoloop sync options.  But for some reason chipmusic.org deleted it and replaced with some crazy .gif.  Ehh...


Did you ever get those boards made? Think i read it like yous aid you lost your gerbers.
If you still have the schematics perhaps we can expand upon it... and make it better.
there were some things i wanted to add to yours when we last talked about it.

i wanted to try one out..

also are you using 4017's to do clock conversion for the the sync options?

My idea was to use transistors as an on/off switch where you then could connect just about any low voltage source. Like triggering a note on a synth or a circuit bent something or maybe some low current lights.


oh by the way. i have a pcb i'm waiting to send out for manufacturing that is exactly this. 1/4" jack w/ transistor/resistor circuit for installing trigger inputs on instruments.. :-D will allow for pnp/npn transistor use. Should be cool. i just have to find the cash to send these gerbers out. lol

Wow!
I've had ideas for a multi-purpose step sequencer for quite a while now. My idea was to use transistors as an on/off switch where you then could connect just about any low voltage source. Like triggering a note on a synth or a circuit bent something or maybe some low current lights. Haven't looked into any specs or such, but I think it would be possible. I was thinking 8 outputs on 1/4" and a rather classic step sequencer panel layout.


I wish we lived closer man... we'd be having lots of fun as we are on the exact same page.

I'm working on a simple analog 8 step sequencer right now for simple trigger sequencing via transistor switching or 4066 based...
i've also begun planning out my first coding project, It will end up being a kit that people can buy to build a super small 16 step digital gate sequencer
with pattern storage, forward, reverse, forward/reverse, and random running directions. it will be a 4 channel gate sequencer.
push buttons w/ led indicators, analog clock in/out, midi in/out/thru(for midi clock sync only)

Getting excited yet? i  sure am. i just wish i had time to sit down with it and start working out the details.. i'm already thinking i'm going to run into port issues due to the number of things i want it to have. But again. i'm new to the world of microprocessors.. so it will take me a bit of time w/ this one.
unless i just hire someone to do the code work for me. The kit will be freak'n bad ass though. i can't wait to install them into all sorts of instruments.
I have a huge line of bent drum machines coming out soon that this sequencer is going to play really nicely into those. :-D

When i get the 8 step board done though i can send you one to play with if you'd like..

how about saying... "chipmusic dot org"
:-P

that works just fine. wink

sure would be nice to get my set from blip08 so i could at least listen to it.. :-P
Then again a blip 2008 dvd would be pretty sweet too..

I'll be doing some fun things over there shortly. been trying to catch-up on other projects first. So dont be trying to take away my section homie!

I have a sequencer pcb in the works, to be installed into instruments to sync w/ other devices such as gb's or anything w/ analog clock or midi clock. Should be fun. I also have a bunch of instruments i'm putting together that i will post pictures of the progress, and include design guides, etc.

i'll be working on one of these very soon. i'm hoping to get 2 of them going for a show.

I guess it makes no sense to get one of these when for 20 more you get a PSP that also runs LGPT.
This is better aimed at a collector.
Where's the collectors when you need them? tongue


Thanks Akira... that helps me a lot.

collector? pfft.. no, as Peter stated... Midi... This is the main reason why you'd run it. And if anyone had any sense they would realize just there are virtually no other hand held devices with this kind of sample playback/sequencing power that supports midi control.
Thus making it an amazing piece of gear to have.

2007: Blip lit a fire in my heart for chipmusic again.
2008: Performed at blip, had insane time
Post blip 2008: no other show (in the US) has compared to playing blip fest... lost my motivation to make music for most of 2009.
2009: Blip; saw 1 night in person.. listened to recordings of the rest of the show... was great to see everyone...
2010: Chipmusic.org launches thus re-starting the fire in my heart for the scene and makes me feel like it's 2007 again.
Future years to come: Looking forward to more hardware diversity, less repeating NYC acts (no offense, but there are a lot of other artists in NYC)...

Thats all i got... *runs back to work*
