It seems the analog sequencer is *the* project to build. Once you’ve made this, you can have fun ‘feeding’ it all sorts of oscillators and effects to create polyphonic music.
Thanks! Waiting for the next video! I'm thinking on building one with on-off-on sw for the same you mention, and another set of on-off gate out sw for percussion also! Want to see that cascade connection!
Hi Kristian, many thanks for this great series, I've really enjoyed following you and building some of the projects to add to my 5U diy modular. I'm now constructing this sequencer but there is one issue I'm struggling with: at the 11 minute point in this video you turn some of the switches off. I believe this switches the gate outputs off, so what I don't understand is why it also stops the corresponding LEDs illuminating. I thought the LEDs are always connected to the 4017 outputs? I would be grateful if you could shed any light on this.
Hello Steve O, if you take a look at the circuit that is attached in the video description, you can take the 10k resistor with its corresponding LED at each step and connect it behind the switch of the gate and of course provide it with a path to ground. This means that when the gate switch is closed, a path for the current to flow into the LED is provided, as well, the voltage is provided at the AND chip for the gate output.
This is great! Is there any way to get a hold of the schematic document for your baby 8? Like a document that can be reworked and modified? I've been experimenting with making a polyrytmic(kinda) sequencer based around the baby 8, but I have no real experience with making schematics -so it would take me so long, starting from scratch!
Hi Kristian, first thing thanks for all your great work. I got a silly question (sorry I am a beginner): I am building my version of the baby8, I am not going to add the gate at this stage, but I got the reset on a on-off-on switch ( one side to the pots, middle is silent, top resets. Do I still have to put a diode between the switch and the reset? Thanks
Hi Kristian! I'm working on a layout for this version of the baby 8 and was wondering if I could use the non used gates of the 4081 to get another set of "gate out"? If so, do you think I could just pick the same line entering pin 2 of the 4081 and send it to pin 6 for ex, and connect pin 7 to another set of switches coming out of the 4017?
Love these videos, working my way through them. I was wondering if you are using the +12v VCC from your eurorack and getting +0-12v on the VC out of the baby 8? I noticed a lot of stand alone baby 8 schematics use +9v VCC

Yes I am! There are some losses in diodes and stuff, but I built mine with 0-12V range. But I would say that a better range would be up to 8 max. That seems to be the norm. And I even think running it from the 5v rail would work, and then get a bit more play in the knobs... I made some boards to play around with this, but never had the time to actually play around with it... need to move on! :D
Will you release some kits and schematics already!

Sorry about missing the schematics, it is now in the description or here: www.dropbox.com/s/udv2il4zobstzh8/Baby8_Part2_Gates_and_resets.png?dl=0 Kits... hmm.... i miiight, just need to find a good format... :)
I was reading up on CMOS chips and noticed you did not terminate the unused input pins on the 4081 to ground in your schematic. Isn't it required to prevent the pins from being damaged from static electricity?

Yeah I am bad at doing those things, that might be true, I dont know, it hasnt happened to me yet, and I am going to use the other gates as well in the next part...
Would you mind clarifying how you are connecting the 4081? For some reason, I got a few 4081s and all of them just constantly send voltage from the output regardless of the input status (0,1; 1,0; 1,1)

Sorry for a late schematics, it is in the description now, or here: www.dropbox.com/s/udv2il4zobstzh8/Baby8_Part2_Gates_and_resets.png?dl=0 It might explain better how I connected it...
Hey Kristian! I have a question - where should I connect gate out? Greetings from Poland!

me: no youtube today, you should build some projects
youtube: New MiaW video from Kristian
Only discovered your channel a couple of months go, but have really enjoyed watching all the MiaW videos which are very inspiring. I am now hooked!

Keep em coming mate. If possible, can you start a parallel series on Lunettas as well?
SOAP - Sequencer on a panel... Still laughing :-)
Cool stuff, simple and useful ;-)

Haha me too still when I see it lying around. ;)

@@chrismenassa Many thanks for the reply Chris, I'll have a play and see how it goes.

Of course 1 switch for each output :-)
