This is a sneak preview of Eric Archer’s DIY Andromeda MK-1 and MK-2 minimal drum machines, with hand cut cardstock enclosures:
The enclosure is actually an afterthought. I added it to address any concerns about the bare board, to make it easier to put the device in your pocket, and to offer six surfaces for your artwork. Although as a friend pointed out, the enclosure covers up the surface bend /body contact points inside. So its just an option.
This video demonstrates different ways to use/abuse the infrared wireless signals that keep the instruments synchronized. The unit on the far left is the master clock.
Archer says kits will be available soon.
This is a quick look at amSynth, a Linux-based software synthesizer.

In the studio testing my revived Emulator 2.
It gave me such an inspirational sound that I created this “grande” musical piece. If you like this music, mail me to get your own FREE high quality copy of a first mixdown. It will NOT be available on CD or other medium, so if you like it you can only obtain your copy by contacting me personally.
I like comments too!
