[sdiy] DIY Drum Machine.

[Dave Magnuson]

Hi Jonathan,

I don't know of any full drum machine kits, but you could probably cobble 
one together from multiple sources.   The sequencer may be the hardest part 
to find... but a TR-707 or other drum machine and a gate interface should 
work well.

Heck, an Alesis MMT-8 + gate interface would be a great choice as well. 
There might even be enough space inside the case to add the MIDI->gate 
internally.   The 8 tracks on an MMT-8 and an 8 channel interface would make 
a nice pair.

For actual drum voices, two places pop immediately into mind:

Paia makes the "drum tone board" and the "MIDI drum brain"
Ken Stone (http://www.cgs.synth.net/)  has some drum module circuit boards

and if you get ambitious, cloning voices from the DR-110 / DR-55 / TR-606, 
etc is fun and not very complicated
