Steam Power Sequencer (Part Two)

This time we've added a pulse generating setup - the transmission is still causing problems, so this is more like a steam powered tremolo effect. The wheel (an old hard disk) needs sanding down to remove the protective coating, the shaft from an old coffee percolator needs replacing with some 3/16" brass rod, and the 'sequence' (a single strip of sellotope) needs a little more thought. Add some more commutators, some proper drive pulleys, a couple of bridge rectifiers, and it might actually work. The soundtrack is an extract of the resulting modular patch, featuring MOTM410 filtering and a tape echo plugin
