In this video, developer MoShang demos the features of the new Bravo firmware for the Groovesizer MB. It turns the Multiboard into a 4-voice 8-bit drum machine.
The Groovesizer MB (for multiboard) is a DIY 8-bit audio platform. It can take on a number of different roles from sequencer to synth, drum machine, or MIDI controller, depending on the firmware it’s running.
The Groovesizer MB is available as a DIY kit for US $168.
Thanks for posting, synthhead. I’m here if anyone has any questions.
How do you do
Can you have sex with it?… Just kidding, I know that’s the Lambda build.
You can try, but unfortunately I can’t accept a return if you’re not fully satisfied :^/
Touché
Looks great! Must have actually 🙂
What firmwares are actually ‘shipping’ as complete?
Hey Tag, the Alpha, Bravo, Delta, Foxtrot, and Golf are complete. There’s a breakdown of the different firmware versions here: http://groovesizer.com/firmware/
This looks really interesting – how easy/quick is it to flash the firmware? Could I use it as a drum machine and a synth in the same session?
Once you’re set up to flash firmware from the Arduino IDE, it’s really quite painless. Yes, you could conceivably use different firmwares in one session. Some of the options for uploading firmware are discussed outlined here: http://groovesizer.com/uploading-options/ I also have some usbtinyisp units on order to see if they work well as a cheaper option. If they’re reliable, I’ll put some up for sale in the store.
have gone from not caring to wanting to order TWO …any plans to make commercially available as I am in the UK
Hey Phil, built units and kits are available in our store at http://groovesizer.com/store/ We gladly mail Groovesizers to the UK.
Really nice… seems you got an ant going crazy to the beat!
