Engineer. Artist. Dog dad. I love all things music and circuits! I keep it positive.
... of the gate output.

What do the buttons do, you ask? Configurable via the Menu!

The project attempts to use embedded best practices and provide examples of useful patterns like state machines and denouncing button/analog inputs.

I'm excited to share more soon!

I will definitely do a bigger launch once the module is fully tested. Planned improvements:

- Merge hardware schematics + PCB drawings into git repo
- Better build/flash instructions
- More diagrams!

Just wanted to start sharing it around!

Knob per function or die 💀

Seqtrak definitely looks like a lot of fun. I love the golden age of groove boxes and toys we live in

I don't get what it's for? I thought the OG AstroLab could get away with being a preset machine by having a nice big keybed and performance features... personally I don't feel like compact and performance usually mix well.

As a firmware guy who loves C++, you're not wrong

*wriggles around in the dirt*

But when you need direct hardware access and precise timing, C++ is often less cumbersome than C, unless your program is truly tiny. C# is cool but garbage collection makes it inappropriate for a lot of real time apps

And btw, I did adjust my keystep 37's pitch calibration. It was off by over 10mV across one octave, so that's pretty significant. (Roughly +/- 12 cents per octave away from middle C.) Going to experiment with the sound sources now

Yep! Although the main pitch source is a 0-Ctrl, which should drive up to 3 inputs unbuffered. I may experiment with both to see what works better

The patch is sort of a crazy idea I had to control the v/oct pitch of Rings via one controller, and the pitch of my 2 oscillators with another. Then I pass the osc sounds into the Rings audio input, hoping to harmonize beautifully. It sounds awesome when it's in tune!

It's 1 analog osc, 1 digital, and a digital resonator lol. I am definitely getting to the point where I am going to start adjusting trim pots! Probably starting with my Keystep 37 tbh. The range has always been squished on mine 🤷‍♂️
