Small Euro drum - version 1

I decided the other day to put together a small eurorack drum.
It needed to be simle - just eight voices.
I may add midi, but for the moment, analog triggers will be fine.


Most of these modules are DIY.

 i had an old case lying around.
I love re-using old things.

These beastek modules are esp interesting.
Both built from kits.
The trigger sequencer, has a very unusual method of creating beats. ,,, cellular automata.
... the game of life.

This Olegtron module is cool too... a very hands on way of mixing triggers.


As much as Ilike the Amoeba sequencer, I've decided to go with a delphtronics trigger man.
A smaller footprint. and Just 2 knobs.
I think this is a great module for making evolving patterns

The algorithmic mode is cool.
Pressing Knob 2 selects which of the eight outputs to edit.
Turning knob 1 will add active beats.
You start with no beats, and just a turn will add beats, creating more and more complexity the more you turn the knob.


 Turning Knob 2 will shift the pattern left or right.



Notes:
Possible Triggering modules:
+ Wagernumb NLC
+ Numberwang NLC
+ Delphtronics Triggerman
+ Beastek Amobea
+ 8-Bit cypher NLC 
+ MI Grids (Mutable Instruments) 

+  Logic Modules
+  Shift registers
-- put a drum sequence through the Shift register and patch them in to a logic function.

+ sequential switches.
+ VC switch
+ Mutable Instruments Branches (Dual Bernoulli Gate)

Voices
+ MI Peaks
