I picked up an ION iDM02 drum module, with five pads and a single pedal, and most of the frame missing a while back and always wondered if I could get it doing something interesting. As is becoming usual with these types of posts, this is a collection of things I've found out about the … Continue reading ION iDM02 and Arduino

Nano MIDI Proto PCB Build Guide
Here are the build notes for my Nano MIDI Proto PCB. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible for any damage to expensive instruments! If you are new to Arduino, see the Getting Started pages. Bill of Materials Nano MIDI Proto PCB (GitHub link below) 6N138 … Continue reading Nano MIDI Proto PCB Build Guide
Nano MIDI Proto PCB Design
I wanted a simple way to prototype some circuits on an Arduino Nano - and thought I'd built up a prototyping board - but it turns out I haven't! I have an Arduino shield (more here) and a prototyping board for the XIAO (here) but so far not a Nano. This post fills that gap. … Continue reading Nano MIDI Proto PCB Design
Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 4
In this posts I describe a version of the Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer that implements the same user interface and most of the features of HAGIWO's brilliant build. Part 1 covered all the theory and main functions of the code. Part 2 included some hardware suggestions for connecting it to other devices. Part 3 added a rotary encoder … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 4
Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 3
This is another variant of my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer this time using a rotary encoder and I2C display rather than a potentiometer for control. Part 1 covered all the theory and main functions of the code. Part 2 included some hardware suggestions for connecting it to other devices. Part 3 added a rotary encoder and I2C display … Continue reading Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer – Part 3

Arduino Clock Generator Shield PCB
This is an Arduino Uno shield design that can be used to provide up to six clock generator outputs for a sequencer. I've built it to use with my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer. Arduino Clock Generator Shield PCB Build Guide Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments. I am not responsible … Continue reading Arduino Clock Generator Shield PCB
Cheap Mini Amplifiers
When I'm looking around for an off-the-shelf module to do something I can sometimes be a little guilty of seeing a range of cheap implementations and just getting one of each to have a go with them, rather than research them first. Small, cheap amplifiers was one such set or purchases a while back, so … Continue reading Cheap Mini Amplifiers
