Date: 2020-05-29

Part of my new series "Musical Hacks",  in this episode I show how to build a step sequencer. (see below for timeline, and link to accompanying wiki)

Wiki for series : https://github.com/TheTechnobear/MusicalHacks/wiki
this includes source code, schematics and useful links.

00:00 Intro
00:41 Plan of action, and wiki 
01:17 Example
01:20 What do we need
02:00 Options for power
03:45 Breadboard cables
04:00 Multimeters
05:00 Lets build
05:30 Generating step voltages
06:15 Voltage dividers
08:55 Step sequencer design
14:15 Circuit Walkthrough
19:40 Connecting to modular
22:30 Wrap up and Conclusions

All the musical examples included are using this step sequencer.
I realised afterwards I didn't really show much of it in actions ;)
(next episode I'll try to include more)

Note: I'm a software engineer, the hardware side is very much just a 'hobby',
if you have more experience in the electrical side and notice mistakes or have some suggestions - please leave a comment below.
I'll try to include these in the accompanying wiki.

I'd also love to receive contributions from viewers for the wiki to build it as a more complete and accurate resource.


If you have questions about this episode or ideas for future episodes please include in comments below.
