Finally finished a little DIY project I've been working on over the past few months. Not strictly musical but its made my setup a whole lot more OTT and I'm actually really happy with it. So what is it I hear you ask! well, its an ATTiny85 based module that connects to an LED strip via a mono 3.5mm cable. There are 4 inputs that accept triggers. The first 3 inputs trigger a different light effect and the last one changes the mode. Currently only have 3 modes and they're not all that different from one another but I plan to put a bit more thought into the software now that I've got all the hardware built. The LED strip is powered by a separate 5v power supply because the load would've been too much for the AE to power by itself. The circuit was a real hack job because I'm a total amateur when it comes to circuit design. But I'm so happy with the results that I'm thinking about getting a proper printed board and faceplate. |

Nice one!!! Can't wait to see a vid at some point 😊
If you need any pointers around PCB, frontpanel, whatever, feel free to send a message! (Or of course a forum post 😉)

(Or of course a forum post 😉) was fully intending on posting a video but I couldn't get it below the 3mb limit  but I'll post one to youtube when I get a chance tomorrow. And on the PCB tips, that would be massively appreciated thanks dude! |

Really cool!. I'm interested to see the vid too.
Do we have a fourth third party module builder here........I'd be on your cust list for sure!!!

I'd be interested too, even if a kit, experienced now thanks to keurslagerkurt productions  |

Wow, that's great! I must reveal an idea I have for a while which goes in the same direction: I'd like to make a case variant with translucent sides/front/rear panels and RGB LED strips behind it - plus a module to control the LEDs, with CV input for the colors and some bells and whistles that can be done with a microcontroller. Can you imagine your case glowing in the rhythm / related to the sound of your synth? Almost what you have already done, mrkoggs ! We should cooperate on this, interested? Maybe I can provide the cases and you / keurslagerkurt make the module(s)? Smells like a lot of fun... |

My next step was to make a longer led strip and integrate it into the dodgy cardboard stand I made for my case, but having a fully light up case would really get the party started I would totally be up for cooporating! although it would be a big learning curve on my part... |

Great job ! I love the result. I had some kind of same idea as you, integrating lights in the case or in a module which moves with the music. And I was stopped because of power requirement which is not compatible with the master module output. Would definitely follow your work  |

Here's a link to a quick demo
Apologies for the low quality!
edit: should probably explain what's going on here:
triq16 is triggering the kick drum and input 1 of the light module respectively, the snare/input 2, and hi-hats/input 3
The first step trigger from triq16 is cycling the mode for every repetition

Woooow, looks supercool!!!! Very nice how you have the moving lights from right-left sometimes as well |

Nice work! And like where this is heading. A case/module collaboration is pretty cool.

Super nice 👍. A music visualization glowing case would be next level cool. Guys we are waiting 😜✌️

Little update on the module:
I've squished a few bugs, made a longer led strip, and added 5 more modes. Next step is to get some prototype boards/faceplates printed. I'm totally new to this so if anyone has any advice I would be forever in your debt!
The one thing I still need to figure out is how to make the end for the LED strip to house the power and data inputs. The one I'm currently using is made out of a lucozade bottle top...

If a Lucozade bottle top works, go for it! very environmentally friendly using what otherwise would be a single use item.... |

sorry mate but iv been there thought that and a second perspex with led mounted onto it or just get a different colour led for each led on the sequencer i dont know how many times iv though t abought RGB and perspex its all about ambience i think but its a great topic tho and reletively easy to put together

Looks like a full-blown light show 😍😍 Considering the frontplate: on the diy sub there is a template posted by namke . If you use easyEDA you can just import it 😃 otherwise: be sure to order a small quantity as it's easy to make mistakes in a prototype! At least it's like that for me.. |

Wow that looks really awesome, crazy how a few colored lights can have such a professional effect.

Nice 👍 always liked music visualization with light. Will be nice addition to the Bastl Illuminati for movable setup!👌
