Me And My Rhythm Bots

[thebarkpetition]

This is great. My MK-1 is in the mail. Can't wait.

Me... Me and my... rhythm bots... Hooray for obscure 80s film references!

Great job man. Really love the enclosure too.

Could one potentially make a purely analog CPU with the computing power of an average PC? If so, what advantages would such a processing unit have over its digital counterpart?

[snakevids]

is that going into a guitar amp or computer?

[theonelinerkid]

what are these made out of and where do you find out how to make them?

[EA78751]

@theonelinerkid hello, these are kits available via ericarcher . net .. $55 ea .. soldering required

[Musiccalculater]

I seriously want to make a massive symphony of sound with an army of these things!!!!! O.o

[Kabzoer]

Is it me or does the 'Tune in Tokio' have lots of heavy dubstep potential?

[gravesmcgavon]

This is the beat to my nightmares

[ausgerm]

Is the box lid a parameter for some effect in that box or am i going crazy?

[EA78751]

@ausgerm your sensors are calibrated. the lid of the box is controlling the pitch, filter parameters by blocking light to photocells.

[synsei1]

@EA78751 That's funny, it looks like the lid iteslef is smothering the sound at some point. That would make it the first rythm machine with an ACOUSTIC low pass filter.

And how do you handle the mixing down, is it passive to one mono out or two mono outs (a left and right)? External PS?

[kidtronic]

Cool. So maybe to dual pin headers like the suonio and a permanent wires to either side of the IR led would allow temporary cable routing I suppose. Also you are using screws into the supports from the base of teh box to make it rugged for transport, yes?

Whole new meaning to "beatbox". I Like!

[kidtronic]

Eric how do you link the two rows? Its IR left to right in a row so...

I dig the lid's impact on light levels to the circuit detectors.

Heavy me

[EA78751]

@kidtronic added wire to extend the IR output LED on the top right unit. it is moved to hit the bottom left units IR input.

[reedinosaur]

more bounce to the ounce!

[smartpartzzkidd]

where did you go to college? I'm assuming you were an EE major?



[EA78751]

@smartpartzzkidd actually EE is self-taught, I studied organic chemistry at university of texas

[Mikjay1982]

Grandioso :D: D :D:D:D:D:D:D ....

[WvMISKAvW]

OH WHAT FUN! :D Ingenious idea! I ♥ it! ; )

[JezebelDecibel]

I just love your little rhythm bots :)
