Beast-Tek Microbe - build notes

Some build notes for the Best-tek Microbe.
These arent official notes ... just a diary to help me trouble shoot.
I'm not associated with Beast-Tek.


This ia a 8 channel drum trigger module.
The official website describes it as a artificial intelligence based 8 channel algorithmic rhythmic engine with partial CV control.

The official site is here:
BOM & Build notes
Manual


There is a Rotating Clock Counter mode, a glitchy beat mode , a regular beat mode, a rotating clock divider mode and a Cellular Automation based mode.
The Cellular Automation mode allows the manipulation of organic trigger patterns from a cell grid based loosely on Conway's Game Of Life algorithm.  
I bought this mainly because of the cellular-automation section. 

The ATmega 328P-PU micro-controller comes pre programmed.
MCP602/MCP6022 High precision op-amp


cAREFUL  .. avoid any shorts.


The build manual is excellent, with lots of great illustrations.
A easy build.










I cut some of the metal jack supports to avoid shorts.
