So Tax time is coming up and I will have some extra spending monies.
I plan to get a Beatstep Pro coming up here soon and I have a good Idea of what I am going to do for the bass and melody lines for connection, but am at a complete loss for the drum sequencer aspect.
Do people go the route of having individual modules for independent drum voices to trigger and acct? or do people route the beatstep into a drum machine for the sounds?
I am a novice at connecting all the various gear, but the Beatstep Pro looks like it will be a wonderful tool for bringing everything together.
Suggestions for drum modules? all in one drum modules, independent voices.
The more cost effective, the better.
(I cant go spending ridiculous amounts or I would just get a bunch or erica synths drum modules and call it a day haha)
You can send a trigger for all 8 of those beatstep channels! In my video below, I used a triangle wave for bass, and a saw for lead, a single drum trigger for bass kick and a drum trigger to gate the AR on the MS20 filter. All LMNC stripboards!
TEACH ME. lol -
Have any links with any further info or a project example?
I have this crazy board that I got along with some other boards in a generous transaction from Jonas. - it is an Axoloti to Eurorack Interface/Convertor.
I am currently using the beatstep pro with a volca sample, which I thought the easiest/cheapest route so far. I am a little bit unhappy with this and now I want to build some drum modules. I found some simple stuff here: https://soundbender36.wordpress.com/sommaire-synthetiseur-modulaire-diy/ But my current plan is to build the slightly more complex stuff from http://www.hexinverter.net/ (Legacy DIY, NeinOhNein and Liqiud Hihats etc.). I want to make my own pcbs with the modifications included, but this will take some time.
fwiw, in case someone wants to DIY only a part of that, the schematics for an earlier iteration are available via this page:
Ignoring the built-in sequencer, the only slightly tricky bit is the noise generator; WN is white noise, the Osc1-4 outputs used for the cymbal are four square waves at 317, 465, 820, and 1,150 Hz summed together (the DR-110 uses CD4069 oscillators to produce these, so the frequencies are very much approximate).
So a local is selling a Yamaha DTXpress Drum Module on Marketplace for really cheap. ($30!!)
I took to the web to check out the Instruction Manual and it seems like this would be a great external module for Drums!
I was just watching the vid, this should be fun. lol
I love variety.
I wonder if samples can be loaded into it? there seems to be some kind of port for pc connection.
