- jdkee 4y agoHow do you like it?
- daviddever23box 3y agoLove it - it's become a valuable part of my workflow, is built like a tank, and sounds great!
- zoklet-enjoyer 4y agoCheck out Easy Mo Bee on Instagram. He still has the floppies for songs he did in the 90s and it's really cool watching him playing those on the drum machine he made them on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyb34p-k_OM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uyb34p-k_OM
- zaplin 4y agothat's cool
- monkeynotes 4y agoI love watching artists like this mind melding with their hardware. You can see all that muscle memory from years of loving what they do. Drum machines are instruments too!
- chaosprint 4y agogreat work. meanwhile, we have https://www.superbooth.com/en/ https://www.superbooth.com/en/
- zaplin 4y agoif you're into synths and drum machines, check https://www.gasnewsletter.com/ https://www.gasnewsletter.com/ for studio tours and interviews. Disclosure: I operate it :)
- herrherrmann 4y agoAh, that’s very cool content! I’d love to subscribe via RSS though, because I want to read at my own leisure without getting my inbox spammed. :/

- zaplin 4y agowoops
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoit's ok, my synthesizer GAS (and retro computing GAS) has been taking a backseat to ski gear GAS for the last few years, and the last thing I need is for it to resurrect. I haven't lust-scrolled matrixsynth in years now, I really need to not start up again :-)
- bandrami 4y agoIt's really cool to see DIY drum machines and synths both in hardware like this and in software with dedicated SoCs that people are programming. This is finally the future we were promised in the 1980s.
- bheadmaster 4y agoNot directly related, but a singer from a death metal band I was playing in has once had an idea: a death metal drum machine. In essence, it would be a box with a crank that would produce a blast beat whose tempo would be proportional to the speed of cranking. Something like a blast beat music box.
- slmkbh 4y agoDeaht metal drum machine has a very power metal vibe to it, ironically enough :D
- mistermann 4y agoSee 4:00 in this video for punk music: Explaining Deleuze with drum machines https://youtu.be/iDVKrbM5MIQ https://youtu.be/iDVKrbM5MIQ
- MisterTea 4y agoHa! I thought of doing the same with a motor driving a cam shaft hooked to a foot pedal with a potentiometer - the harder you press the faster the blast beat. Also thought of clutches or stops to change pattern or instruments. Perfect setup for a one-man death metal band - just add guitar and mic. Kinda like Joe Buck Yourself or Pandiscordian Necrogenesis.
- squarefoot 4y agoCan be made digitally by using a stepper motor wired as generator with a hand crank, then picking up the spikes which are proportional to the rotation speed and feed them to a ucontroller with some sound samples in memory arranged ad a rhythm, then play them according with the detected speed. A simpler one could use the uC only to output MIDI clock data, then a start when the player starts cranking or reaches a certain minimum speed, and a stop when it stops or slows below a given lower limit.
