Gets funky with it's surroundings

UPDATE: While going through tapes I found some lost video of this project. Not much, but at least now shared with you, the topmost video :)

Audiofile Engineering asked me to do a sequel to a robot of mine, Yellow Drum Machine.

It was named Yellow Drum Machine II (YDM II).

And.. sniff.. now it is no longer with me.

To The Cow God (and anyone else interested)

Making a microcontroller do beats is an awful thing.

Code needs to be in 2 parts;

In 2) There is all the logic that makes up a song, consisting of lines of code divided into segments of 16

In 2) bits are set, such as BD = 1 (Play BassDrum), and also head, speaker-click etc. Once for every 16'th note

Every other "line" in 2) should also have an extra pause, how long it is makes the beat more or less shuffle.
