Hi,

This is my first post but I have been lurking and absorbing here for a little while.

This is a quick demo of my first real Lunetta type unit made out of a 4017 and 2 40106s. I've made APCs and 40106 oscillator synths but not combined with anything else.
I found a 4017 in a compartment of my toolbox [I'm not sure why, I don't even remember ordering it] and so built a sequencer based on the baby 10. I then tried hooking up the sequencer outputs to the oscillators of a 40106 and liked the sounds I was getting out of it so decided to mount it all up to some banana jacks [forward planning so I can later combine it with some more modules].

Anyway, here is a video:

Thanks!

Welcome aboard tbone hello welcome

. Nice sounds and great looking unit. Hope to see and hear more of your stuff.

Very nice looking build. What did you use for the panel?

Thanks!

The panel is a sheet of clear perspex which I have painted black on the underside. Using a clear sheet let me mark out all the points to drill holes etc on graph paper which I then stuck underneath to get everything neatly aligned. Painting on the underside gives a nice glossy look, but when putting it altogether I did chip a little paint off around one of the LEDs which does show on the front. If I were to do this again I would probably try and find something to apply over the paint to prevent that from happening.

Beautiful Machine Nice craftsmanship!

very nice work tbone, I really like the shine and the size is just about perfect for a lunetta.

What are you planning to add to this machine? I've build a few 4017 sequencers myself and I always added a 4066 cmos switch to mine so you can gate things like APC's, circuitbend toys, etc.

XOR, XNOR and NAND gates are also a lot of fun and very easy to do.

Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Thank you for the kind words!

A way to use it with some of my circuit bent gear is exactly what I was hoping to add next to this. Something along the lines of the sequencer on the casper electronics site [http://www.casperelectronics.com/images/finishedpieces/sequencers/switchScheme.jpg] looks to be ideal.
Tjookum, I do have a 4066. It is supposed to be for my echo base delay pedal build, but I need to get a few other things for that anyway so I may well use it before hand....
