I revived my teenage interest in electronics so I could build my dream drum machine, offered it to the world and 100 people preordered it. I’ve built 30 so far, and I’m still having a blast playing with each one when it’s tuned and tested.

Took a week to recover from #superbooth in Berlin, but I miss it already. This is me at the end of day one trying to cobble together some sort of midi clocked jam setup for the Beat Friend while eating a biscuit. 🍪

I was looking forward to this so much I accidentally preordered it twice. Two chapters in and loving it. Nice work, @lizpelly.bsky.social!

Getting down to the finest details on this drum machine design. Important stuff though, like where do the screws go; is there a hole for the power switch.

Today I cannot see anything because the galactic collection of synths, drum machines and other beautiful instruments at @soundgas.bsky.social HQ is still seared into my eyeballs from yesterday. This is 0.00027% of it.

Wait how long has MacOS had a built-in app called Grapher that nobody told me about? I’ve been copypasting endless formulas in Numbers like a twat this whole time.
