Thanks for your great videos. I spent hours modeling a 909 clap in software. There is a UA-cam video showing how to recreate this with the RC-808. I used the BPF frequencies and envelope parameters mentioned there. Looking forward to the next episode.
I have a piece of code to create a noise generator a la TR-909, linear-feedback shift register ( LFSR), video. Than you can use a dip8 pic, like PIC12F67 and a transistor. I got many CD3080 in tubes.
That's a neat solution! I remember that I bought a couple of CA3080s back in the early 90s, to repair a synth for a friend. I had a pretty good stash of components back then, but most of it was lost when moving around and when I got kids and bought an old house all my hobbies went into hibernation-mode... But when I got back into the building electronic stuff I started from scratch and I decided to go for SMT as much as possible. Anyway sometimes I miss those RAACO-drawers full of components, bulky AF compared to the SMT but TH components have their use, especially when bread boarding 😄
@@MeeBilt hibernation-mode, lol I mailed Nexperia a couple of weeks ago to create a new CA3080 in SOIC8, maybe if more people would mail Nexperia, this it might help. yeah, THT takes up alot of room on the pcb if you wanna design in 4/5 jhp like i do, to be able to cram as much as possible in one set of rails, witch i have. a few years back, i mailed Nexperia and made them attend on the "Tiny" Logic from Texas Instruments, got a response and they refused the idea, but later they appeared as "Litle" logic. very usefull if you only need one inverter, and, nand, or gate and even a flip flop and analog switches exist. We have to keep asking Nexperia to remake the CA3080, using the ew techniques and be able to work with +2.5v/-2.5V power rails.
@@MeeBilt By the way, there is room under the Alpha pots, as it's elevated using metal lips, you can use this space to paste some opamps, transistors, caps and what not. There are also opamps in SOT23-5 format. I think pcb, panel space is quite expensive.
No, but I just checked it out - it looks like a cool module. I saw that the kickstarter campain didn't reach is funding goal; did it get into production?
@@MeeBilt as far as I know it did not. But it sounds so good and some of the features make it a very interesting clap module so I thought to share and maybe give some inspiration 😄

Great explanation of the analog clap circuit. Love your 909 series!
Thanks a lot, @polykit !
another great video which is becoming quite the resource for people !! i love the clap too
Hey Gareth, thanks a lot, man!
Yeah it's a great drum voice - love it too 😊

Thanks, that's awesome!
Nice clap sound you got with the LM 13700!
Thanks Patrik! Yes, it worked out fine to switch from CA3080 to LM13700.
The clap is definitely one of the most recognizable sounds in the 909.
I totally agree. Not sure it actually sounds like a real handclap, but it is a great percussive element anyway.
@@MeeBilt I haven’t been able to clap my hands this way yet myself. But that doesn’t take away from its percussive greatness. 😉

Have you heard the dijkstar THC-01? 😃
