Synthtopia regular MirlitronOne created what could be the low-budget music hack of the year – turning a $6 LED kit into a 8-stage step sequencer.
He started with a Vellemen MK107 LED kit – which are available all over the place for less than a fast food lunch, making the kit a great risk-free starting point for music hacking.
In this video, MirlitronOne shows you how he did it and how this DIY music sequencer works.
via MirlitronOne:
How to turn a cheap Velleman LED kit into a simple eight-note analogue voltage sequencer for a synthesizer, WSG etc. The whole thing could be built for under £10 and has a novel function for playing subsets of the selected notes for ‘related’ arpeggios. This electronic music project comes to you from the bench of Mirlitronics, Inc., suppliers of low-tech gadgetry to “The Mirlitrons” – check us out on iTunes.

I genuinely believe that this could be the greatest contribution to cheap electronic music since, er, the last really great cheap thing.
If you can't fathom out the additional wiring required from the vid, take a look at the famous "Baby 10" sequencer.
