The First Ever Drum Machine You Could Buy!

This would be a cool build but I am not sure where to find a 24 gang pot.  :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin:

This guy works on some interesting stuff.

I love this channel, 'all the capacitors and resistors, chillin' on turret boards...'

Been watching him for years and its amazing how he gets through all this stuff so fast and still makes great educational videos

Was interested about the pot, had a look and there is a 4 pole 24 way pot online but its the price of a small drum machine now!  :laugh:

I just found this channel when a friend shared that video. I have always wanted to build a synth like the one in this video:



I could spend hours looking at his stuff.

I showed my wife the video of the organ he built out of Furbies and she promptly threatened to make me sleep in the garage if I built such a thing.

I have no idea why she might be inclined to think I might want to build such a thing... ;)
