  • ok thanks! just got your email!just realised I don't have an SD card.  I tried powering the thing up and all lights except shift, start and rec lit up - then just voice and voice 1 as I expected...but pressing start did nothing - no start LED and no…
  • hi julian & all - got delayed by a week of night shifts but nearly finished building the LXR, looks fantastic and been fun to build.  LEDs by voice switches are tight but I just didn't use spacers for them and was fine.  No real problems yet, du…
  • don't finalise the list anytime soon!!!! still haven't got my hands on PCB & would love to contribute to sound bank!! subject to quality control of course ... : /
  • thanks for keeping yr fingers crossed julian - think I am far more likely to have messed up the BOM order than any problem or delay with your side of things... plus spillage & general soldering chaos also comes as standard over here so might be …
  • hooray for hurolura putting this one to bed!  nice bit of subtlety with the meaningful initials, official-sounding but with a wink to the potioneers...julian if you can stretch to it - when you design the case maybe send one to hurolura as a prize? …
  • To be fair I think there is about 20 euros in it & still worth doing if every penny counts.. think due to inexperience in the parts sourcing game I was just aggrieved at Mouser's unexpected addition at the last stage before payment - was hoping …
  • OK! All components ordered from Mouser UK.  There are only black & red button caps left and USB socket also out of stock but there are alternatives.FYI after applying VAT at 20%, even with free shipping the price is about the same as the kit.So …
  • Morning Julian! Glad to hear that BPM doesn't automatically load, as you say this would be a good way of wrecking your flow. If you are doing live music just on the machine (NB hope you are making progress on the name!!!) then you probably will have…
  • that looks amazing & to be honest sounds even better than I hoped - the FM sounds like pure metal machine music in a box & the video really shows just how cool this is going to be.  Volca schmolca - they look like fun but this looks seriousl…
  • hi julian looking great!! makes me think of lego "space" stuff when I was little...haven't moved on much have I I'm with shiftr in being swayed by the moolah - if it is cheaper to self-source parts then I'd be up for boards or boards and rare parts …
  • Hi Julian great work, really interested just boils down to cost how soon I can get involved, so will check out yr BOM & if still space on pioneers run & enough brass in pocket will be up for it too otherwise hope yr kits are out by next payd…
  • Good call from MicMicMan. May the Force be with you Julian! looking forward to it whatever it comes as inabitjk
  • Frohe Ostern! Witchdoctor Psychonaut   (or losing the theme - Dreadnaught) ...
  • PATTERNWEAVER SPELLWEAVER HEXWEAVER
  • hmmm - guess we are leaving Poisondrums alone as it sounds a bit evil - Antivenom? Inverting one of those above, DjinnDrum rolls off the tongue.  Maybe we need to go with one of Julian's...coming round to the idea of a Chemical Barista / Magic Baris…
  • nice one dubtoms -  SP Peyote Buttons ! even the Sonic Potions Hallucinogen drum machine, sure you could squeeze some psychedelic beats out of that  
  • Ok going the wordplay route now: Sonic Potions APOTEK (Was thinking of a barista for potions! & techno never far from my mind...)
  • hmm yeah forgot about that pedal despite drooling over one in a shop window!  (the "flerb"  setting sounds cool) yep liking the DNA idea, shame someone nabbed Genome, sure there's more mileage in that area tho....  SP GeneSeq / GeneDefekt (a la gree…
  •  zzz ...Chalice Magic Cauldron or... Holy Grail !!! (the wikipedia article makes clear this could have been a Celtic magic cauldron to start with!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Grail zzz
  • ha ha thanks dubtoms it has just tickled my fancy.  Did like yours best. Hope I'm not p***ing people off -  but still I just can't help it they keep on coming: Sonic Potions... Jury Rig / Special Brew (!) / Home Brew Melting Pot / Whirlpool / Vortex…
  • Sonic Potions TroubleDrum  (hubble bubble - tho BubbleDrum better but think I said that one already) Sonic Potions Chemical Beatbox ... still enjoying the hunt, it's certainly keeping the cogs turning.  Like the last clue on a crossword innit
  • Like the micropop! but maybe sounds a bit lightweight - need something a bit heavier/edgier maybe? tho that is very difficult to do without sounding like you are trying too hard to be cool - hmmm... Using the Dr from above - SP Glitch Doktor ? On a …
  • BubbleDrum ps all suggestions on the open forum? might help us home in... inabit jk
  • nice to see the love for MedicineDrum shiftr - you are right it is better without the space. still having streams of dodgy ideas to add to the ones I've been flooding this thread with...  AutoDrum, MechDrum, RoboDrum, TechdrumNarcoDrum, DopeDrum, S…
  • hey I think that is EASILY the best suggestion yet!  Mine have been getting weaker and weaker (running out of ideas) but this one has power... Sonic Potions Drumlab. it's just so right!  Nice one dubtoms - Julian - surely, the search is over? jk
  • if you do that better get some green acryl for the case - that could look nice or to keep free rein on the colour: Sonic Potions' Little Gem? memorable & accurate, would have side effect of making us Brits think of famous little jelly sweets tho…
  • hi julian - thanks for clarifying that re the analogue outs.  can only really justify one drum machine so that expandability would be very useful. quite fancy doing my first bit of reading up & perfboarding at a later stage to add an individual …
  • hey julian sounds fantastic.  relating to what you said previously, do you think that it would be an easy enough user mod to add an analogue trigger out (e.g. for a home-brew bass drum module)?  would you be happy to explain how if any of us wanted …
