Developer Jan Cumpelik is running an IndieGoGo campaign to put the Lunchbeat 1-bit groovebox into production.
The Lunchbeat is an AVR-based groovemachine with 4 real-time generated and tweakable 1-bit sounds and an 8 step programmable sequencer. The sequencer can send or receive trig pulse signal.
The project is open-source and licensed with CC BY-SA 3.0 license. It is available assembled or as a DIY kit. See the project site for details.
This sounds fantastic. A bit like the Dr Bleep drum (which I also love). I’ll be getting in touch with Jan!
Cool sounds
No, Noah and I we don’t know each other. Name: I know what you mean, yet name of the machine is “Lunchbeat”. “1-bit groovebox” is describing what that machine actually does – it is category of instrument 🙂
I think Noah Vawter might have something to say about that name. Perhaps he is affiliated somehow with this? I have his original 1-bit groovebox on my desk, it’s pretty cool. Regardless, this thing looks pretty sweet. I enjoy gritty, harsh 1-bit sound, from the Atari 2600 to the zx spectrum, as well as experimenting with CMOS lunetta synths, a lot of people doing interesting music with the most primitive of sources.
What is he wearing on his hands?!
funny gloves
I abosolutely love my Lunchbeat! ^_^
