Flickr user solipsistnation created this rather awesome sample sequencer using Meggy Jr. and an Arduino WaveShield – The Meggy Jr RGB from Evil Mad Science running MeggySeq, driving a Wave Shield from Lady Ada. MeggySeq is a pattern-based drum machine sequencer. It has 8 patterns of 16 steps each and each step can play one […]

Limor of Adafruit Industries posted this video demonstrating how the Waveshield kit can turn Arduino into a sample-bending audio tool. Consider for a moment that potentiometer replaced by – oh let’s say – photocells or maybe a force-sensing resistor. If you’ll excuse me – I’ve got some experimentation to go do – Wave Shield for […]
