MFB522 modded drum machine

This is an ode of sorts to the MFB522, IMO one of the best 808 derivations. Small in size big in sound and sporting such great cymbals and hats. I documented the insides a little for folks who want to do modifications or need service info. Check this link for more details and sounds: maffez.com/?page_id=4095

Wish id gone for a tanzbär when they were not as expensive, but this little one is cool too!

I just checked your notes, some great easy tweaks there, specially the longer decays. I have to ask, is there any chance of the 522 having full midi CC controls like the tanzbär lite? There is a seperate CC for volume of each sound on my Volca Beats, I wish I could have this on my 522 to control levels with LFOs

Triggers are velo sensitive but inst vol and all other knobs simple analog pots, so…

what do you think about the tanzmaus?

[@maffezsynthmods]

Only played the tanzbär mki (some parts shared with the maus though) and the „blam“ drum module & liked both :)
