Event Details

Learn how to make 1-bit chiptunes music without the hassle of computer programming. This is a musical introduction to basic electronic concepts through the use of CMOS digital logic chips. From a hand full of components you will create the world's simplest oscillator and 8 note musical rhythm sequencer. No soldering necessary, you'll take your project home on your very own solder-less breadboard!

Taught by Phillip Stearns aka Pixel Form. See some of his work at http://youtube.com/pixelform.


All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up. Sorry, minors.

  • Do you just have the speaker hooked up to each divider? Because it sounds like its beeping in sequence.

  • breakdown of the circuit:

    Oscillator near 35kHz is made using two gates of a 40106, is fed into a 4040 chip or 12-bit counter (produces suboctaves). 8 of 12 octaves (lower ones) are connected to "inputs" of a 1 of 8 multiplexer (4051). The 3 control pins on the 4051 are hooked up to a 2nd 4040 that is clocked by the 1st 4040. The clock input to the 2nd 4040 and the 3 controls of the 4051 are "patchable" as demonstrated. Speaker is driven by an LM386 connected to the output of the 4051.

  • What you need now is a pseudo-random generator for a simple drum machine

  • @256byteram I'm working on a super wicked pseudo-random noise machine.

  • 1-bit Dubstep ftw

  • DUBSTEP !

  • Please post a page with schematics.

  • @SergeantFawful But it's pretty expensive. And I don't want a coat. I want a piano instead.

  • @TCfoxs Then order a down coat from L.L. Bean

  • @SergeantFawful It's cold outside.

  • @TCfoxs GET OUT

  • this sounds like 8 bits

  • look up chronos by tim follin
