Drumssette controlling Polymoog

The Drumssette was built by Mike Walters in 2010. The Drumssette is a Tascam four track cassette recorder that I turned into a programmable drum machine. A cassette with four tracks of repeating drum sounds can be mapped into a 16 step rhythm using the 64 switches on the interface. The audio on the cassette tape also clocks the sequencer.

In this demo, I bypassed track one and two of the cassette tape audio, and replaced track one with the output of my Polymoog 280A on Vox Humana. The bass drum and snare sounds are from the cassette tape, which is also clocking the sequencer (snare sound, track 4). I'm simply holding down chords on the Polymoog, and the Drumssette is chopping them up according to Track One's switch mapping on the front panel

Do you just have the polymoog audio running through the drum machine? Very neat!

Take care,

@synthpro Yes, it's just the audio from the Polymoog getting chopped by the Drumssette!
