Thanks for all the kind words guys


I have now added a short demo so you can see how fantastic and fun this thing is.

I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day

Sounds great, loads of fun to be had!

THAT

CLIP!

This just gets cooler Justin

Lovely sounds. I made the mistake of showing this to my son and now he wants another father/son project. :)

Yup, it sounds as cool as it looks.  I already looked into buying one and they are out of stock.

Great clip! Very creative. I don't recall the original being that versatile.

Sounds great! I think you've just sold a lot of PCBs for helensson...

Peak! That sounds like a missing tune from Operation Mindcrime!  I loved it. Ok, we all have to build one now!

Thanks guys

Like I mentioned in the OP, Helensson said he was working on a new version that will implement midi into the build.

Meanwhile, if someone is interested (Alan.....cough cough), here is a schematic on it: http://clacktronics.co.uk/research/drumlab/star-synare-3/

If I could change/add one other modification to this thing it would be to add some sort of attack control.

My fantasy is to build a device with 3 or 4 of these in there similar to the original. With midi implemented, you could have yourself a complete analog drum machine.  8)

I've been looking at that schematic since your original post.  What are those switches with 8 lugs?  Are they 4P3T?

alanp

Two pole sliding switches -- as you move the switch along, the two lugs that the switch is sitting on are connected. You could easily swap 'em for a 1P3T switch of some sort (the sliding ones don't look to have an actual Common lug.)

I think the Osc 2 switch is bung in that schematic... I'd have to sit down and nut it out.

Strongly tempted.

obviously you can tell from my build that I didn't go with slider switches. They are just too cheap and flimsy and trying to cut out slots for them would have been a PITA. I ordered some though just to make sure I got the switching right.

The schematic called for (5) 3080s which can get a little expensive @ $5 a pop from Smallbear. Luckily since then, I have found some on Ebay for a little over $1.50 a piece.

The piezo sensors are super cheap too.
