This is a 7-voice low-fi drum sampler. It comes with 909-like samples.

Installation

8bit contains an ATTINY 1616 MCU. To program and install the firmware follow this guide.

The firmware is located at modules/8bit/code/drums in the code repository.

MIDI Control

You can trigger these drum voices via MIDI by playing or triggering white notes on any octave. Here are the sounds pre-assigned for each key:

  • C - Snare
  • D - Clap
  • E - Perc
  • F - Rim Shot
  • G - Closed Hat
  • A - Open Hat
  • B - Ride

You can also send velocity for each note to add accent.

Changing octaves does not do anything like pitch changes.
