I got a bit frustrated with my bass++/Sound Lab project and put it aside until I get the courage to get into it again. The Sound Lab portion isn't completed yet and I'm still figuring out what's wrong with the Bass++, when the unit is powered up all the leds light up and the modules emit constant sounds, smells like I've inverted a component or something but at first glance everything seems to be at the right place... I'm sure it's an easy fix and I'll attend to it soon enough.
Since I needed to cool off a bit I decided to go for an easy project, something that could be wrapped up in no time. I ordered a Drone Lab Kit (ver 2.1) from Gasper Electronics (I was felling lazy and didn't feel like sourcing parts and all so I went for the kit). What caught my interest is the fact that this project doesn't require wiring at all, all components are soldered directly on the PCB. Sure enough the little drone got beeping in no time (7-8 hours of work approx) and it's actually usable, It does make some interesting ''sequences'', drones and noises, has 4 oscilators and features an audio input so you can process anything thru it's filter and distortion section. You can sync it's clock to external devices or vise versa (has a trig in, out and thru). This section is a bit fiddly thought and doesn't accept all types of trig signals I actually had to feed it with my SH-101s gate out to sync it ''properly'', my CR-5000s trig didn't seem to have any effect on the Drone Lab. I'll hook it up to the soon to be completed Highly Liquid midi to trig converter and see how it reacts.
Right now it's powered by battery but once I finish my studio setup I'll connect it to an external power source, it does have a 9V input connector in the back.
