A project log for DrumKid: aleatoric drum machine

A lo-fi digital drum machine which uses randomness to create unpredictable beats. Runs on Arduino, with audio provided by the Mozzi library.

This is a quick post to let people know that this project is still alive. I had to put development to one side for a few weeks so that I could a) earn some money, and b) build a big shed in my garden so I've got somewhere better to work in the future.

However, I can report that the audio code is working better than before, with a couple of exciting new features, and MIDI in/out seems to be working nicely too.

I may have missed my wildly optimistic deadline of a November 2019 release, but at least now I've missed it by so much that I'm free of its (silly, self-imposed) pressure ;)

Excited to show off the "final" version here when it's done...

I'm impressed! Just found this project while googling around. I had an idea to make a regular old drum machine, but by the look of things my project just got alot bigger! :D

Thanks for the inspiration and information 🙏
