[sdiy] Percussion synthesis: my project

[Andy Main]

I'd like to have a look at your FPGA code/schematic.  Could you link to
it or send me a copy please?

Thanks, Andy.

I have always bee quite intrigued in percussion synthesis. I just
designed 
my own drum machiine with all analogue drum sounds.

The "brain" is FPGA-based and drives 8 sounds. A 16X8 led matrix
displays 
patterns and the memory in the FPGA store 4 16-step patterns.

I opted for non-adjustable sounds to fit into a Dr. Rhythm-style form
factor 
in a sloped-front plastic box. The sounds are a conglomeration of
circuits I 
found on the net and online manuals from 70's drum machines. I tweaked
the 
circuits and came up with my "own" sounds. Voila...

Study a bit on the net and you'll find a lot of cool stuff--let me know
if 
you want any info or links.

Peff
