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. 😁
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 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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
Thank you for the brilliant part, I have reconstructed everything as described. It works great only that the LED in the button does not work. At A6 no voltage is measurable and if I am not mistaken it is only an analog output. The code hint indicates wrong pin 20 instead of 19. I do not know how that works?
@ There's an issue with some arduino's. Change it from A6 to A3 and use this code Sam sent. www.dropbox.com/s/qywysokcwotm9vp/BIG_BUTTON_MOD_LED_PIN_A3.ino?dl=0
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)
do you have a 3d printer if so I got a project I am trying to take all the axiom 25 pcb and but in a box and create expression module basically just hook up to editor and fill the banks with expression pedal goodies and then but ready to go ...pitch bend can be assigned to expression pedal btw since midi 2.0 system is used.
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. :(
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!
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!!!
can you explain how the clock input is handled in the arduino? i see no reading of clkIn. the pinmode is set to input, but i can't find where the input is actually used ok, i changed the line for the interrupt to this: attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(clkIn), isr, RISING )
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
th-cam.com/channels/ximsD7EJ38jzCNgfP_YTmA.html
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.
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.

manaquri There's always one.
@@XChillX42 there are lots of pixies
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
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
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.
What an insane genius you are!! 😁😁😁
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

One more great soul teaching the public that electronics is a wonderful art form. :-) 🦊
I like "Big Button" and I cannot lie.
I'm happy he makes music instead of things that go boom. Mad scientist. Very entertaining.

the design of this thing is so ellegant! awsome work!
7:13 gave me chills, love it
True edutainment of the highest level, sir
There is no one I would rather watch on this silly site. Thank you x
Maaaaaan, you’re a treasure of this TH-cam thing.

This dude is awesome! He’s like the Colin Furze of analog synthesis.
That's like, the most entertaining DIY video I have ever seen.
The best narration I have ever heard!!!
youtube need more knowledge, need more people like you, thanks!!
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!!
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
This man needs to be stopped, but I truly can't wait to see what he comes up with before he is
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.
One of the best channels on TH-cam...
Cracking channel..wish i could spend more time doing stuff like this, rather than fixing other peoples stuff.
What a pleasant surprise to see you on tv! Love your work
:D crazy hey! hahaha
you make my belly warm. i love repairing mystery diy noise boxes.
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
I could watch your stuff all day. I love your style ❤️
This is so sick definitely wanna make this, Always need another drum sequencer
Haha, great commentary, like an enthusiastic sport radio commenter :)
Mirodin Right? Like in a professional soccer game, but way more fun, interesting AND educational! :)
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.
The UI is pretty clever there
Can you add a usb to it to work with sounds from your DAW?
The Arduino has an inbuild regulator.Lovely!
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.
You're my new favourite artist... Or what ever
Thanks Sam - built one to play with my eurorack - works a doozy! You da maaaan
I don't understand anything of what you're doing, I just love listening to your accent

this guy is insane and i love it
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?
You are some kind of genius
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
Very very cool...
Best DIY video yet.
You Sir, take a bow!
hey, amazing!!
can this work on its own, like not connected to other stuff? thanksss
Thank you for the brilliant part, I have reconstructed everything as described. It works great only that the LED in the button does not work. At A6 no voltage is measurable and if I am not mistaken it is only an analog output. The code hint indicates wrong pin 20 instead of 19. I do not know how that works?
I have this same problem
@ There's an issue with some arduino's. Change it from A6 to A3 and use this code Sam sent. www.dropbox.com/s/qywysokcwotm9vp/BIG_BUTTON_MOD_LED_PIN_A3.ino?dl=0
If we use arcade buttons instead of push buttons, do we have to mount a resistance on them as well?
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)
"look at all that smoke" 😂😂😂 such a fun. Brutal cool voltage
why do you dont use the "pinMode(pin,INPUT_PULLUP);" instad of pulldown resistors?
Mihi Gyver I don’t know anything about coding. I’ll use that next time! Thanks 🙃
its the internal pullup resistor of the chip all you have to do is proof for low level instad high. if you need help just ask ;)
Mylar: Ace.
LMNC: Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
So full energy man.. awesome.
Love all of your videos!
UHHHHHH I CANT STOP WATCHING!!!!! I m gonna make this thing!!!
do you have a 3d printer if so I got a project I am trying to take all the axiom 25 pcb and but in a box and create expression module basically just hook up to editor and fill the banks with expression pedal goodies and then but ready to go ...pitch bend can be assigned to expression pedal btw since midi 2.0 system is used.
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.
Holy shit, amazing . That bass line is sick
Instead of using a minibrute, are there any ways of using a midi signal as a clock source?
Gregory Parker hmmm not directly. I know people are modding the code as we speak!
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER do you reckon it's possible to make a diy midi to cv clock thingy?
Can we connect this with your simple diy oscillator?
Does something need to be plugged into the clock in, or can it be used by itself with the wav trigger
Forgot to ask. Is the end tune (8:45in) released? It's a well good hook!
track 3 on my mixtape :) check my youtube channel homepage
Love what you are doing man, keep up the great work.
I have no idea what you've did, but it was pretty cool lol!
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.

wow that's epic. Your content is 10/10
that's amazing Sam
how easy would it be to make this but with a button for each step??
You're a wizard harry
Question can you use a sequencer with guitar? Like is it possible to build something that sequences input?
You deserve way more subscribers my man
Love your substance over style but still somehow making it look cool.
Sam is just unstoppable
Do I need a specific kind of speaker to test this? Also, what exactley goes in the clock input?
6:19 I like how you give it the bird to delete. That makes a lot of sense.
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!
Is the minibrute just a clock source? Could I use my Korg SQ-1 as the clock? Still new to synthesis.
yes
Can I make a clock circuit for it to work?
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!!!
Why choosing Arturia MiniBrute 2S for this video if it already has it own sequencer?
for a clock and synth, this sequencer i built is for drums
What is the other brown machine
is it needed for this build?
I spit my milk out on the synth bike reveal. That’s so awesomely insane
can you explain how the clock input is handled in the arduino? i see no reading of clkIn. the pinmode is set to input, but i can't find where the input is actually used
ok, i changed the line for the interrupt to this: attachInterrupt(digitalPinToInterrupt(clkIn), isr, RISING )
In another video you mention getting empty PCB's to make you 3 VCO module. Where can these be got?
Have you ever done anything with pocket operators may I ask
Does the sequencer have auto quantise?
Sam Gordon yeah. It’s super simple. And it’s quantised. To the clock steps.
damn I think I found my favorite series to watch now FINALLY
thats amazing. Where we could get cheapish metal boxes?
the best of drum form generatrors, only that i can agree :D
what happens i u dont put a clock in? the difference is that it still makes sound but not looped? thanks!
Does it work without a clock input?
