So I’m thinking about a new project to work on, and I’ve got a fairly ambitious idea: Build A Drum Sequencer<\/p>\n

After looking around and talking with via some forums, I’ve come to realize that there really is a lack of any sort of stand-alone step sequencer for use with drums, especially in kit form.<\/p>\n

Thinking about it, I believe that I could probably take the digital part of the x0xb0x<\/a>, add or remove LEDs and buttons as needed, then rework about half of the software so it works a bit differently. Using a few resistor networks I think I could simplify the panel a bit too…<\/p>\n

So, I think there’s a couple of (major) steps to doing this. Then I could even sell the thing in kit form. Those steps are:<\/p>\n

· Settle on a feature set and the buttons and LEDs this will require.
\n· Rework the x0xb0x schematic to reflect this.
\n· Design a panel layout which will be usable, fit a readily available enclosure, and will allow the parts to fit around each other on the PCB.
\n· Order some sample PCBs and build a prototype.
\n· Rework the x0xb0x software to do what is needed.
\n· Look into selling either PCB sets w\/ parts lists or full kits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I wonder if this is within my abilities.<\/p>\n

I think as a test I may to write some new x0xb0x software which will sort of implement this functionality, just to see if I can manage that part…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
