Yooo reading my mind. Just ordered some translucent ones!

Heck yeah lemme know if you use anything or have any ideas! Would love to see whatever you come up with.

Glad you dig!

+ 1 for Beat Repeat! With an MPC type function, have the rotary choose current speed. Because it has MIDI (thanks!) you could use it with with other drum machines, like my TR6s...

@@VJFranzK Ooh I like this idea... documenting on my GitHub right now so I don't forget.

Daw thanks pal

Oh sweet! What are you having issues with perf wise? My biggest issue has been updating the screen... I tried realllly hard to only update the screen when necessary, and only to update a tiny area. Also - mine is using CircuitPython as well!

@@djbajablast5425 I've been having issues in three main areas: 1. Absolutely the screen is the number one perf killer, I want to update the screen a lot more than I can, but it's just not viable. I could live with this but it's not the only problem. 2. My project is essentially 16 rotary encoders (in a 4x4 layout) that you're meant to be twisting (or pressing) as the thing is playing. Reading the rotary encoders and reacting to their changes is also pretty time consuming. 3. Even just removing all of the rotary encoder and screen code, just getting this thing to output a sequence without drifting is hard, 60 BPM is easy, 120 BPM and then it starts struggling to stay on beat, drifting a few milliseconds consistently, but then some times for no reason it'll hit a 20ms or more delay, which really adds up. Combine this with any rotary encoder or screen code and you're drifting by tens or hundreds of milliseconds per beat very consistently. I originally wanted to get this thing to output a midi clock, but there's no way it can even come close to 24 PPQN on any reasonable BPM.

​@@fancysandwiches Maaaan I feel you. I spent way too much time optimizing the screen stuff to try to deal. Multiple times I considered just getting rid of it but it's tough to do settings stuff without one. I’m kinda surprise that encoders eat up that much CPU time…. but I’ve only ever used 1 at a time. I don’t think my thing is super tight on timings either, honestly. But it’s a little more on the experimental / happy accidents side of the spectrum so it’s not a deal breaker. I had a hell of a time getting a stable clock over USB. Crazy how much worse that is compared to normal DIN MIDI in. I ended up just writing a bunch of logic to only update the BPM if it gets X amount of ticks that are within some threshold of each other for long enough. If CircuitPython supported true multithreading it might solve a bunch of this… could use one core ONLY for timing and such and do all of the input / display / etc. on the other one. I think MicroPython does, which maybe is worth checking out for you?

@@fancysandwiches Oh just thought of one more thing - are you metering how often you check the encoders? If not that could make a big difference. Basically only check them every like 50ms or whatever value makes sense.

Ayo let me know how it goes!

Hiya just added some to my shop here! www.etsy.com/listing/1744340176/mini-midi-slider-51-midi-controller

Thank ya! And word, IDK what I'm doing with video editing lol so that feedback is helpful, appreciate it.

Betting beting .. You could 1970s that and Solder the whole loose under A diy Box Preferably non flameing

@@AMPProf what?

Yo! it is PETG and took a lotttt of trial and error. I'll be uploading all of the STLs at some point cause I wanna make this open source. The very top is only 0.5 mm thick, with the little slits to help make it bend per button. It has little standoffs on the bottom so that it sits juuuust right above the buttons, so that it barely needs to bend to actually press them. It works surprisingly well if you can tune it just right!

Thanks!

Yooo I'm working on one!

I don't have any right now, but I'm working on a more detailed guide!

what am i even asking of course its a cv interface, awesome job.

ooh yeah probably, but that would be a lot of pickups!

​@@djbajablast5425 Unless you attach them to the sticks. Piezo elements might be a simpler solution. That's getting real close to regular electronic drums, though.

you kan do it with a makey makey, the durmsticks are wired, its easy

It's kinda your fault for not being able to see how simple this setup is, if yoy can't see that I don't advice being this kind of hobbyist

yikes, bad bot/troll/human-in-progress@@selfactualizer2099

@@selfactualizer2099 So kinda kind of you for such a kind adwise, but it would even more kind if you don`t answer when no one asked you.

thanks bud!
