    Right so two weeks ago we’ve released a downsampling/bitcrushing channel strip based on an S&H and now you release this.
    And I think you kinda invented the Turing Machine again... check out our video on the Drum Fountain, it kinda works with the same basic principle but only sends out a trigger/midi on the first bit of each cycle. Three of those in a module with an LED strip instead of single LEDs and bobs yer uncle!

    The advantage of using logic chips instead of microcontrollers is speed. You can do stuff with logic chips at audio rates that even the best microcontroller would struggle with. For instance, I've been obsessed with SID chips recently, and the equivalent 'sample rate' they achieve on the waveform generator is higher than what's possible with an overclocked teensy running at 1GHz. It's debatable whether the human ear can tell the difference though!

Seriously though all you need for a basic electronic drum machine is a 555 timer with variable timing, a coupule cd4017's cascaded for the sequencer/counter (connect all outputs to the reset pin via a muti position switch so you can select the amount of steps, also connect all the 4017s outputs to a switch matrix with appropriately placed diodes (one switch for each instrument) connect all the outputs of the instrument select switches via more diodes to drum synth circuits stolen from the boss dr55 and or roland analog drum machines.

    Here's a circuit you could build for an interesting glitchy digital slew-rate limiter:
    Take one of those MAX5451 digital potentiometers (or similar). Wire the potentiometer section as a voltage divider between your signal rails. Wire your input signal to the positive input of an op-amp and the potentiometer output to the negative input, then wire the output of the op-amp to the U/D input pin of the digipot. Feed an input clock source to the digipot's clock/increment pin, and wire another op-amp as an output buffer for the digipot's output pin.
    Essentially, the first op-amp acts as a comparator to drive the U/D pin to make the digipot voltage closer to the input voltage, so every time you feed it a clock pulse it'll get closer by one tap of the potentiometer. With a fast clock rate and some output capacitance this essentially becomes a weird digital slew-rate limiter, or with an even faster clock and a gate signal to the digipot's enable pin it can be a digital sample-and-hold.
    (Note that the MAX5451 actually has two digipots in it so you could actually build a two-channel version of this with just the one chip plus a single LM324 quad op-amp.)

You’ll be able to wrap your head more readily if you just download the AtMega’s development platform, and give that a shot as some prefer that instead of the Arduino environment (way more complicated to code in my opinion)!

    I’m giving some thought to a version of this for my Eurorack. I’d consider a couple of changes. First, I’m not sure I understand the reasoning for using diodes on each channel; I’d’ve thought one would use op amp buffers instead. And indeed I found the MIDI to Gate module from Barton Musical Circuits, which has basically identical outputs (eight triggers each with a parallel LED) driven from a microcontroller, uses two TL064s or TL074s to buffer the outputs. Second, I’d add protection diodes and 10µF electrolytic filter capacitors near the power header and 0.01µf caps on the power inputs of the ICs. Not sure how I’d build it, stripboard or Adafruit protoboard or the Eurorack protoboards sold by Synthcube (probably would need 2 of those) or bite the bullet and learn how to make my own PC board. Needs further thought.

    & the idea of using SRAM circuits but instead trying to store analog voltages seems like a great idea - problem: that setup won't work because each transistor only has two stable positions (on & off - meaning it's metastable) & is completely unstable everywhere in between, so no, this won't work.
