Aciduino

The DIY Arduino-based Roland TB303 and TR808 Step Sequencer clone and MIDI Controller. Designed using readily available, inexpensive parts. It can be easily assembled on a protoboard or ordered as PCB.

There are two flavors of aciduino, the first version(v1) is a TB303 sequencer only, the second version(v2) is a TB303 and TR808 sequencer with oled display and step/pattern/mute grid system.

Features

303/808 Step Sequencer clone

Programming bass and drum steps using same analogy of original machines • Save your pattern work on microcontroller EPPROM memory for later live gigs • Use step length and shift to make some unusual sequences • Automation grid system for step edit, pattern navigation and mute tracks • Realtime and Step record modes for MIDI keyboard input(v2 only)

Professional grade Clock

Tight and solid clock system using hardware timers to achieve realtime professional grade tick system • Send or receive clock to keep all your external equipment synced

Generative Engine

Generate new and fresh acid music patterns by pressing a single button and twist some parameters • Harmonizer to force musical harmonic modes for bass lines • Euclidian generator for drum parts

Midi Controller

Controls up to 16 parameters per track of your external synthesizers(bass/drums) • Midi learn(v2 only) • 16 potentiometers modular support to extend aciduino as midi controller(v2 only)

Pattern memory

Store your patterns conveniently on the microcontroller's EEPROM, allowing you to access them effortlessly during live performances.

Easy and fast Assembly

1 or 2 hours assembly time on protoboard.

Questions

How big is the Aciduino pcb PCB?

It measures 151.5 × 95 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Aciduino pcb use?

39 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Aciduino pcb KiCad files?

From the midilab/aciduino repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is v1/hardware/ijnekenamay-PCB/Kicad_file/aciduino_pcb.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Aciduino pcb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
