it's pretty easy to understand, you send pixies to the correct wire, and the wav trigger sends singing pixies (i.e. sound) out according to which wire they came in. the arduino saves the time you take between each button press and sends pixies out on the channel it's recorded in with the same timing.
YES! Just got my own Big Button to work. Not as fancy as yours. But it works. And by now I'm utterly and completely hooked on building my own modular. Thanks a lot, I guess :D
This is like a cross between radio station MC, rave DJ and Grand National commentator. I'm not even planning on making a BIG BUTTON and not ready to start building stuff yet, but I love coming here because, this is just good ol' commentary, and the enthusiasm is contageous.
2020 and everytime I watch your videos I am amazed at how brilliant you are with electronics. You are far beyond your years. Never stop. Bring the world your incredible knowledge and amazing music. Thank you. 😁
I love how u showed the parts makes it alot easier to find and reconstruction the idem thanks Sam keep up the amazing teaching and working your dream to the fullest
I saw you on Point Blank, and here I am! I'm nearly finished a resto job on a Tek 2467B 'scope and then I'm starting to build an analog synth. I'm on enough weed and tramadol that your antics make perfect sense... your delivery kind of reminds me of a mental, middle-of-the-night, staggered-in-from-the-club-hungry cookery program from the nineties. Chip butties with crisps and pepperami, sort of thing. I learned useful lessons from that, too! Carry on!
I have been in love with synthetic sounds my entire life. I got all the parts to make my own on the way. I’m not using an arduino though. I’m using opamps and pots. So excited.
Each video I'm seeing from you, I'm aching more to build a DIY Synth.. I just thought about "but which part do i start with" and it seems that this box will be it :D
I’m binge watching all the videos I feel so nostalgic like I haven’t seen this stuff in years also wow man 10/10 for building such awesome stuff you are totally rad man
Ive been subbed for about a month now. And i cant help but notice that your building and items you need sectoions are sorta like a mix between indie mogul and old kids bbc stuff haha. Lovin it.
It can seem challenging at first. If you really want to do this, it might be good to start out with a kit. Maybe a MFOS Weird Sound Generator. Or a guitar pedal from DIY guitar pedal. The 6 minute fuzz is easy. You just populate the board with the correct components according to the directions and soldier them in. Or in the case of the 6 minute fuzz, just soldier the components. Just for anyone looking to get into it, it's possible. If a chowderhead like me can do it, anyone can. Lol.
This is awesome! I love your videos. I've been hacking a phone lately and been getting into electronics for music deeper. Your videos have been really inspiring.
This is really so incredible. I'm just getting into modular and the whole soldering/diy thing and this sounds like the most fun and useful project to get started with, not to mention cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeap! You are doing amazing work, sir. (tips hat)
The arduino actually has built in pull up resistors, you just tell the pin to go high like you would an output so you could do this without the resistors.
Brother you are totally awesome you made my day made me laugh and your video's are very inspiring and creative thank you for sharing your vids cheers mate!!!
As a tip, programming NANO using pinMode(Button1, INPUT_PULLUP); will make it so you don't need the 10k pullup resistors, very convenient! You can toss your bag of pull-up resistors away! :-D And, in the event you have reverse logic you can still pull them down just use if (!digitalRead(Button1)) do thus & such. SWEET!
LOL !! Not sure if you're taking the piss, but i can tell you when he does that jam to demo the box i kept thinking "Wow! Hope he makes a song using that..." If he comes to perform near Cincinnati, OH i'd like to go see him.
You know by far one of the most fun and simple to use drum sequencers is the Boss DR-660 drum machine. The sounds are kinda crap though. If only I had a kind of MIDI break-out trigger box with MIDI Velocity controlled VCAs I could run analog drum modules through so that I can trigger any drum module with velocity to volume control on every sound! I'm sure that would be supper expensive to set up in Eurorack format. :(
Understatement, smart phones, or rather the ARM chips are one of the smallest and most efficient computer processors in their class ever made, at least for the consumer market.
Mum you may be the only one on the world who can do this. Your mission is to mod and turn baldwin fun machine into full modular synth. Over and out soldier!
I noticed that in your diagram you included plans for a "trigger in" socket but decided not to include it in your final build. What could I use that socket for, if I wanted to include it in my Big Button? An additional clock source?
This is fuckin' awesome! That's it, I'm building this thing to trigger Visuals from Processing as well as the drum sequencer. I'll send you the results when I've build it. Recently I made a modular visual console called P_A+L (Processing_Arduino+Lots of sensors!) and this will be a great complement. This is fantastic, cheers!
I started building a modular long ago and got too caught up in the weeds and stuck it under the bed. I'm pulling that bad boy out tonight and building some stuff! One question, how did you build your main keyboard hooked to the big wall? Just a kb you pulled from something and a voltage driver? Great videos!
Cool Video. Was wondering can this sample music? If not, what would be the process in making a drum sequencer like this that can sample and timestretch. Be cool to find out. Anyway, great video!
This is an awesome piece of work. I'm planning to make my own one, but I have a simple question for you. How would you do to make the drum sequencer synced with Ableton clock ? Thought it would need some midi in port... Thanks again, greetings from France
You and Wintergatan are my favourite channels on whole YT. Real creators, who made tools... to create art. So damn cool. LOVELY!
how about a MarbleSynthMachine?!
how about colinfurze?
You guys are awesome!
Furze don't create art. He make cool things, becouse they are cool, not creative tools.
you should check this channel

The shit you make is some kind of insane magical wizardry and I understand none of it. but please for the love of god keep doing it.

manaquri There's always one.
@@XChillX42 there are lots of pixies

What an insane genius you are!! 😁😁😁
One more great soul teaching the public that electronics is a wonderful art form. :-) 🦊
this video got me way too excited at around 2:50, now this gets on my building bucket list
I love seeing you confortable with your design. This is what diy is about.

The extroverted Aphex Twin.
7542 1534 LMAO
Indeed haha
Or the Colin Furze of audio diy... 😉
for real? Never saw machines of the Aphex but I know he is a Voltage Pioneer. Love his work
Why couldn’t my physics 2 lab been more like this...
Marissa Hamra haha!
I have simply never seen a comment I have agreed with more than this
'cuz you could have fun, and there is no fun allowed there...
Feel u bro
I'm happy he makes music instead of things that go boom. Mad scientist. Very entertaining.
I like "Big Button" and I cannot lie.

True edutainment of the highest level, sir
That's like, the most entertaining DIY video I have ever seen.
youtube need more knowledge, need more people like you, thanks!!
Maaaaaan, you’re a treasure of this TH-cam thing.
That 80's one is awesome. Absolute genius!
Waaaayyy over my head and I don't care.
I wish everyone who ever tired to explain something to me was this entertaining!!
7:13 gave me chills, love it
Possibly the most entertaining content creator out there.
Cracking channel..wish i could spend more time doing stuff like this, rather than fixing other peoples stuff.
Love you, mate! Best scientific entertainment on this planet and also finest av arts and artistry here.
Watching you go off is always a mindbender.
This is so sick definitely wanna make this, Always need another drum sequencer
The best narration I have ever heard!!!
The Arduino has an inbuild regulator.Lovely!
I’m binge watching all the videos I feel so nostalgic like I haven’t seen this stuff in years
also wow man 10/10 for building such awesome stuff you are totally rad man
One of the best channels on TH-cam...
you make my belly warm. i love repairing mystery diy noise boxes.
Ive been subbed for about a month now. And i cant help but notice that your building and items you need sectoions are sorta like a mix between indie mogul and old kids bbc stuff haha. Lovin it.
I could watch your stuff all day. I love your style ❤️
I don't understand anything of what you're doing, I just love listening to your accent

shit I might actually do this man. You are a true inspiration.
All I've ever done is replaced the fuse in a synth
This is awesome! I love your videos. I've been hacking a phone lately and been getting into electronics for music deeper. Your videos have been really inspiring.
Thanks Sam - built one to play with my eurorack - works a doozy! You da maaaan
This dude is awesome! He’s like the Colin Furze of analog synthesis.
The UI is pretty clever there
this guy is insane and i love it
Haha, great commentary, like an enthusiastic sport radio commenter :)
Mirodin Right? Like in a professional soccer game, but way more fun, interesting AND educational! :)
You are some kind of genius
This man needs to be stopped, but I truly can't wait to see what he comes up with before he is
6:19 I like how you give it the bird to delete. That makes a lot of sense.
UHHHHHH I CANT STOP WATCHING!!!!! I m gonna make this thing!!!
What a pleasant surprise to see you on tv! Love your work
:D crazy hey! hahaha
You should do a tutorial on diy voltage controller like a keyboard and how you hook it up to control a oscillator
Trying to learn about making my own modulators
Love your substance over style but still somehow making it look cool.
This is really so incredible. I'm just getting into modular and the whole soldering/diy thing and this sounds like the most fun and useful project to get started with, not to mention cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeap! You are doing amazing work, sir. (tips hat)
You Sir, take a bow!
The arduino actually has built in pull up resistors, you just tell the pin to go high like you would an output so you could do this without the resistors.
I have no idea what you've did, but it was pretty cool lol!
You're my new favourite artist... Or what ever
Holy shit, amazing . That bass line is sick
Best DIY video yet.
Mylar: Ace.
LMNC: Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
damn I think I found my favorite series to watch now FINALLY
Does something need to be plugged into the clock in, or can it be used by itself with the wav trigger
I don't know why, but your face remembers me Bono Vox from U2
the best of drum form generatrors, only that i can agree :D
So full energy man.. awesome.
You're a wizard harry
Si lo que haces es real, eres un genio, fascinante
Brother you are totally awesome you made my day made me laugh and your video's are very inspiring and creative thank you for sharing your vids cheers mate!!!
Sam is just unstoppable
hey, amazing!!
can this work on its own, like not connected to other stuff? thanksss

Nice tutorial Sam! Im going to watch and eventually build one myself! Or I might try and make another handheld video game or maybe build a UFO!
You'll be handy as hell in the zombie appocolyps.
brilliant vid, you're getting good at this, nearly as good as your music
LOL !!
Not sure if you're taking the piss, but i can tell you when he does that jam to demo the box i kept thinking "Wow! Hope he makes a song using that..." If he comes to perform near Cincinnati, OH i'd like to go see him.
I spit my milk out on the synth bike reveal. That’s so awesomely insane

that's amazing Sam
You deserve way more subscribers my man
Upload the code with a....... COMPUTER!!??? AHHH!
in theory you can do this with a phone.
phones have computers in them
Understatement, smart phones, or rather the ARM chips are one of the smallest and most efficient computer processors in their class ever made, at least for the consumer market.
There's an arduino microcomputer inside the box lol
@@tomm7273 As long as it's hidden in the enclosure, mom won't see it

"look at all that smoke" 😂😂😂 such a fun. Brutal cool voltage
Absolutely mind-blowing. Thank you.
Mouser, Digikey and Excess all have me as a platinum buyer
wow that's epic. Your content is 10/10
Insta subbed, cant wait to build my own. But I need to start at step one. Which I dont even know yet lol
I have the Raleigh Chopper (Lime Green since I was 10 now I'm 62). But where can I find some negative legs of some LEDs?
awesome videoo!! u are genius. thanks a lot for making such awesome content and sharing ur knowledge and passion. u inspired me
The Digitakt killer!
>wav trigger costs more than the drum sequencer
You can get little MP3 player modules that take an SD card, and they cost < $€2 each.
8 of them gives you a full(ish) drum kit.
Love what you are doing man, keep up the great work.
I noticed that in your diagram you included plans for a "trigger in" socket but decided not to include it in your final build. What could I use that socket for, if I wanted to include it in my Big Button? An additional clock source?

thats amazing. Where we could get cheapish metal boxes?
This is an awesome piece of work. I'm planning to make my own one, but I have a simple question for you.
How would you do to make the drum sequencer synced with Ableton clock ? Thought it would need some midi in port... Thanks again, greetings from France
