Thing a Day 9: 555 Sequencer Part 1




In classic me fashion, I've dropped the Atari Punk Console from Thing a Day 2 and rolled the design back to a simple noise maker.. For now. In the long run, the result will be much more epic.

Combining the above 555 noise maker with yesterday's Thing, a ring oscillator, I'll get a basic sequencer -- which is the workhorse of electronica. With a sequencer, I can set up a pattern of notes to play and loop that pattern. Of course, by notes, I mean squeals, and by pattern I mean odd number of beats that will likely be limited to three. ;) Tomorrow, I'd like to see if I can get the two connected for an actual sequenced result.

555 timers everywhere!
