Already Soldered Pt.II - Drumkid

DRUMKID

This time I present DRUMKID a lo-fi aleatoric drum machine by Matt Bradshaw Design. You can buy it following the link (either fully assembled or as a kit). I took the kit and soldered it at the Circuit Control Festival 2021 in Dresden. It took 60 minutes or so and was really easy to solder. Matt is a coder and so everything is well structured.

Drumkid generates rhythms using random numbers. This tutorial video shows how it works:

Features/specs
  • Battery powered (3xAA) (or optional USB mini cable)
  • 3.5mm audio output (headphones/aux)
  • MIDI clock/CC input
  • MIDI note/clock output
  • 16 adjustable parameters
  • Tap tempo
  • 36 save slots
  • Open source design with editable firmware
  • Hackable case and circuit board, designed for customisation

You can upload your own samples to DrumKid using this online tool: https://mattbradshawdesign.com/drumkidtools/samples.html

DRKMBNT

music with self-soldered sound tools

DRKMBNT is a live act that performs its music with self-soldered sound tools. The sound tools were mostly developed by friends with whom DRKMBNT regularly meets privately or at soldering festivals. From time to time, DRKMBNT modifies these tools, as in the “Tiny Techno Orchestra” project. The orchestra consists of 10 circuits, each made up of a CMOS chip, a few resistors and capacitors and photovoltaic panels. Lamps are used to make the orchestra sound.

The music of DRKMBNT is improvised, from time to time a video or a live recording is published on the band's homepage, only very rarely are records produced.

DRKMBNT loves improvisation, loves the moments when the orderly turns into the disorderly, when he doesn't know how things will continue musically and technically. But fortunately, new possibilities constantly arise, musically, aesthetically and technically.
