Building the Hex Drum / Big Button trigger sequencer

- Following up on my eurorack 909 drum kit, I've added a trigger sequencer to the mix! This is a custom build of the BIG BUTTON sequencer designed by Look Mum No Computer, running on arduino nano. I etched the enclosure using a custom faceplate panel design which is available on my patreon page:
/ extralife

Nice work! Good to see the "failures" as a part of the video.
Failures are just methods that didn't work!
This really was the natural progression. I thought you'd come up with your own design but Sam's Big Button is really cool too. "Don't be scared to try it!" 😄
Words to live by! Keep thinking of things to add, hope to make a follow-up video soon. Drums are such a different beast from CV sequencing, it's nice to change it up a bit.
diggin the extralife tracks!
Diggin the beats and the dedication to aesthetic 👌🏼
I like you little setup, and the Big Button sure hits the G spots.
I love these videos!
Wow, using a router as milling machine. It came out so clean looking too.
And here I was just trying to figure out how to use the VCV Rack version of this sequencer.
Awesome sauce!
Nice groove near the end!
You deserve more subs.
10:03 those drums + that acieed bassline... is this 1989? =)
Beautiful work, as someone else said, its good to see the failures and how to solve them
Cool !!!! Glad I found your channel 🙂 👍
dude amazing build video!!!
This really cool I'm a college student and this opened my mind up to engineering!
Really enjoy your vids. You look a bit like Ean Golden's younger brother.
I'd love to see your code updates, I built one of these and use it a lot but the reset button...... Your drums are sounding great though. Where is your GitHub page?
Just posted the updated code here! github.com/matthewcieplak/hexdrum Still a lot to clean up and reformat, has been an interesting challenge to reverse engineer some of these features. Hoping to add some MIDI implementation to it as well!
@@extralifedisco Thanks I'll check it out. I added a trigger input to mine, really useful for plugging in a random gate or whatever to generate beats quick and dirty!
@@extralifedisco New subscriber here - love your videos. Wondered if you could tell what is different about your code compared to Sam's original? Thanks
@@themanefaces Thanks! My code is up on github, v1 just fixes a few compilation errors with arduino nano every. The hexdrum-midi fork is completely re-written. Sam's was kind of spaghetti, so the new one uses arrays and functions to simplify it and adds MIDI input and some extra features like roll, solo, mute, sequence clear, bank-all, and audition. github.com/matthewcieplak/hexdrum-midi
Does big button need a 10k resistor also hooked to 5v or gnd?
2 bad this isn't for sale😢
Hi there,
great job, very pretty !!!
I have a question and I really hope you would help me, I can't get the momentary switch connected properly, my switches have + and - as well as NC / NO / C how do I have to tie them properly? I connected my LED button like this: lead soldered to minus, plus and NO soldered together, which leads to the potentiometer! It lights up weakly and when I trigger the LED goes out every time, can you help me please ???
hello!!
Could be that the diode in the midi IN schematic and layout is the other way around? if it is, does this matter?
THanks!
Im not very proficient with arduino, did you include internal pull up resistors in your github code or are the 10k resistors still necessary?
I already had the external ones from using sam's code, but the switch is as easy as changing " pinMode(ButtonDelete, INPUT);
" to " pinMode(ButtonDelete, INPUT_PULLUP);" for the buttons you want to use internal resistors. Also you'd need to wire the buttons to connect the input pin to GND rather than +5V (sam's schematic uses external pull-down resistors, the internal one are pull-up).
have you tried hooking up a Tsunami wav trigger board to this?
Would be a good combination! I actually just picked up a Squarp Rample which is a 4-channel sample player, hope to do a video on it soon but has been a great counterpart to the 909 drums so far. Always nice to have a blend of analog drums and samples in the mix.

Hi what does the shift potentiometer do?
In LMNC's original design, it offsets the start point of the sequence for that instrument by 1-8 steps. You can use it to create rhythmic variation, but I found it difficult to get back in sync or use effectively. In my updated version of the Big Button (with MIDI), you can press the ALT button or the big button and turn the shift knob to load hard-coded preset sequences onto that instrument or all instruments for quick changes when playing live.
You printed on glossy magazine paper, other from the method in your 2017 video? (I'm trying to use this method without etching - and without heat, just to transfer the black toner and I'm using spray-on paint to grab the toner and coat it afterward, see: imgur.com/a/q3PFK4x and www.reddit.com/r/synthdiy/comments/j708ls/panel_design_using_toner_transfer_alternative/ )
Yep, glossy magazine paper works well with the iron method because it dissolves easily into water. It's OK-not great for non-etched transfers because a lot of paper fiber sticks to the toner and you have to scrub it very carefully. If you're etching it doesn't matter though.
The heatless transfer seems to work better with stiffer paper but I haven't ever really got it to work - this guy seems to do very well with lacquer in solvent and wax-coated sticker backing paper, but my laser printer chews that paper so it's a no-go for me. ruclips.net/video/GL0fVtREgRA/видео.html
Stereoping had a great tutorial on the heat method here: web.archive.org/web/20180723213226/www.stereoping.com/eurorack-frontplatten-erstellen-mit-der-toner-transfer-methode/?lang=en
this is my 3rd extralife video since finding your channel and I must express my disappointment in this shirt.
Lol fair enough! I think the one in the next vid is even more unfashionable, and my haircut doubly so. Quarantine's hard on a dandy lad
@@extralifedisco I spoke too soon, the shirt in the final scenes is a corker!
