Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format – Part 3

This post revisits the "CDR format" (CD Rack Format) panel version of my Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer. Part 1 detailed the build and testing of the panel. Part 2 updated and enhanced the Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer code to run on the panel. Part 3 (this post) details the design of a panel using a … Continue reading Multi-Mode MIDI Step Sequencer – CDR Format – 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 →

Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI

After playing with my Arduino Euclidean Gate Sequencer I started to think about how to turn that into MIDI. One option, naturally, is to add MIDI to the sequencer itself, but I thought the more versatile approach would be to build a second Arduino that took trigger pulses and turned them into MIDI drum messages. This … Continue reading Arduino Drum Trigger to MIDI →

“Baby8” Discrete Logic MIDI (ish)

I've wanted to create a non-microcontroller, discrete logic MIDI circuit for some time. I thought it would be interesting to have a few chips that could generate a specific sequence of bytes corresponding to a MIDI message. Note: I'm still talking individual chips here, not just gates and definitely not individual transistors, so perhaps "discrete … Continue reading “Baby8” Discrete Logic MIDI (ish) →

“Baby8” CV Step Sequencer – Part 1

A common early project for anyone starting to play around with analog synthesis is a "Baby8" step sequencer. There are many designs out there on the Internet and many ready-designed kits that can be bought and made. I can recommend the Rakit Baby8, which has some neat features. I've used it with my Educational Synth … Continue reading “Baby8” CV Step Sequencer – Part 1 →

Arduino MIDI Multi MUX Step Sequencer

This applies the same extension from the Arduino MIDI Multi MUX Controller to the Arduino MIDI Mux Step Sequencer showing how it could be expanded to support 32 potentiometers or more in a MIDI step sequencer. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I am not responsible for any damage … Continue reading Arduino MIDI Multi MUX Step Sequencer →
