Excellent work! What a visual feast. Great drum sound too (for my tastes).
This deserves to be enjoyed by many - would make a great live device (making a portable version might be a challenge) or falling that some sort of installation piece. I am imagining a whole band of midi driven metal things. And I guess if you used Ableton Live, you could play them and improvise too.
Also, thanks for posting info as usual.
The circuit doesn't look too complex. Where do you get the solenoids?
@stealthbopper - yeah i have 10 of these solenoids now and was thinking of making some "tubular bells" out of metal pipes... solenoids are from ebay seller windchest and i gotta say they are perfect for this kind of thing (just wind some tape round the pin to stop it falling out). the TIP120 transistors work fine too for driving them, and save using expensive relays..
Excellent!
