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.
