Cool |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice, is that a pic of it? the circuitboard looks homemade, did you etch your own mother humping circuitboard m8 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah thats a pic of it's current state. It's called an MB808, my mate had two of them laying around, it's a PCB design from 2009 and sold at the time but pretty much went under the radar. There's a final version but that one isn't even sold at all, just the PCB plans etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds better than a real 808 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did an amplification mod to each instrument so that when dialed in beyond a certain point they'll kind of self saturate a bit. Puts the slap into the s of snaredrum. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
nice |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you thought about makimg a business out of it, your own drum machines with a nice wood grain finish |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds great. was it expensive to make? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have thought about it, i have half a drummachine design and built out that is somewhat the gap between a minipops and an 808 type of machine, but I dunno who needs drummachines really these days. It'd be a drumsynth rather.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't think ive spent more than 400 bux in total so far, that's with original opamp chips etc, but not the frontpanel yet, parts for seperate outputs, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is always a market for unique machines, or a spin on a classic design, especially if you put your own personality into it, im sure each time you made one you could tweak the design and bring the production costs down |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
impressive, regardless wish i had the motivation/skill to do something like this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah you'd create a kind of design standard that is only present in your own machines. Think I've done that with my stepsequencers that I've built so far, they're all the same basic design ! I would want to put something on the market that just slightly surpasses what we think of as drummachines these days, they are actually really rather limited voice machines if you look at it from a technical pov, so you would have to go more towards something of a 'drum synthesizer' for example that is focussed on percussion but lets you create any type of drum instrument from realistic to completely redonkulous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what would be amazing if if it had some sort of capability to program your own sounds/samples, like you can do with supercollider or whatnot i think thats the future some sort of programming module, but you dont have to know programming to use it, a nob would change all the variables for you, or if you were really into it you could plug in a usb port and mess with the code on a deeper level, stick in one of those tiny rapsbery pi zeros or whatever somewhere along the path way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats my idea anyway i dont know how feasible it would be |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as you say though, something to differentiate it from whats already on the market |
||||||||
|

fah this might be of interest to you: https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=181572 |

bobo is a great name |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

That actually pretty much exists, you can do that with raspberry pi's or something like Rebel Tech's OWL module which is exactly how you describe it, a modular synth module, with a bunch of assignable controls and ins and outs, a usb port, even is it's own wifi server, uses puredata, max or c++ if you please to create a DSP program on the module.. Is hotswap even, really cool ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one, i imagined someone would have though of that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i might have a go at something similar when i have the funds see what i can rustle up with a rapsbery pi and some potentiometers or something, |
||||||||
|

Hey Fah i remember seeing a photo of you on ceephax's site around the time of ceeland i think it was one of the cassette releases anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My mate made a drummachine with a raspberry pi, started off without any real big knowledge of programming at all. It's pretty powerful ! I might make a little synth with it or something one day.. |
||||||||

That picture has flown all over the internet.. Andy sent me this one morning: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes even just for your own edification its great fun to do little projects like that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your his body double? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
jesus that was almost 8 years ago, i have that euro star acid one, but dont have the very first funbox cassette |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Neither do I, i have ceeland and Drive Time tho (proud of that one) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice one, one of my fave things i have is a very good condition copy of the one with acid wayfarer, world bin etc.. on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have that on record i think somewhere, isn't that pretty rare? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can I listen to this in real live? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah fairly i think, seems to be a few copies going on discogs at the moment, more than usual |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah it's the First Cask one, the Brussels label. Really good one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the Belgians are very underappreciated i reckon, great bunch of lads yes acid wayfarer is one of my face top all time tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ever been to Belgium? It's a very inspiring country in my opinion, always love being there. When you go there, listen to Telex, their sounds makes a whole different type of sense suddenly |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive never been unfortunately, ive heard good things, ive been to the Netherlands, people there are great, very flat though, too flat for its own good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It allows us to actually see everything, not like in UK where you think "cross that hill to Sussex" and then you do and you end up in Harwich instead.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not a true story btw but it made me giggle in my mind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe on Facebook stream or something I'll play it, but not irl sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alot of south uk is flat i guess, i live on a flat peninsula that has some hills, the further north you go the more rumpled the land gets like an unmade bed, i suppose thats why there is so many dialects cos everyone lives in little valleys, UK is definitely a weird place, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love UK though, still. Always get a bit giddy whenever I go there. Been to Newquai, Oxford, London (shortly), Harwich, Brighton/Sussex |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i highly recommend the yorkshire dales/lake district in spring/summer and snowdonia in wales very worth going too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Me being a country/village bwoy from birth I'd really like to be there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes its fantastic it really is, i should probably move over that side of the country |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i live closer to here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only problem with wales is that its full of welsh people (only kidding) |
||||||||
|

I would like to weigh in here and say that I wholeheartedly (and perhaps a little too enthusiastically) agree with wot u saids in here I have never met a Belgian person I have not liked. I can understand them better than the Dutch (no offense). And they understand me. It’s a hoot. One of my favouretist persons in this world is from Belgium too. The easiest person to get along with I ever met and people thought he was difficult. I’ve seen some of the UK. I worked in Lincolnshire for a bit, from there I went to the Isle of Wight. Which I remember very fondly. I tripped my balls off down there. Never smoked so much hash. Also went to Wales. Stayed in a strange old cottage with the invisible crying ghost baby. My mum said she heard it but I didn’t hear shit, I was frightened My sister and hubby also used to live in the Highlands before they got kicked out as the result some of some clerical error with work and immigration. Don’t ask. Best place to walk (and live imo). And work even, if you can get a job and a visa. |
