Never actually tried this but just remembered about Bludgeonsoft (who were either members of space-surf-punk band Man or Astroman? or friends who programmed stuff for them back in the day) in some other context and though some of you might find their beeper sequencer interesting.

It's actually very easy to get here in the UK at least since every branch of Maplin stocks it and every child of 13 years old in the country was supposedly given one at school !?

Thinking of getting one some time, mainly to experiment with the text-to-speech which is based on SAM. It has some presumably squarewave-based sound/music functions built in, and I imagine some clever 1-bit stuff could be done with code

the 5x5 LED display has me thinking about sequencers smile

Looks fun!

Not sure but that thing looks fun smile similar technology it seems

Can't remember where I heard about the Lunchbeat but I bought the kit a while back. His store is offline but he still has some left I believe, I emailed recently and ordered another.

Going to try and mess with the code soon, I'd like to change the tempo range to go up to extratone speeds, and see if i can make any interesting changes to the instrument sounds.

Was playing with Buran Electronics Lunchbeat this evening and recorded some horrible gabber big_smile I cheated tho in that i recorded to tape multitrack with extra fx from a bass synth pedal, and lots of distortion and eq fiddling.  Anyway thought someone might like to hear smile

Great work utz! Wish I knew enough about 1bit music programming and/or music generally to make a doom metal album with this big_smile
