My best make this year was turning a broken Spanish valve radio from the early 1940s into a @radiofreefedi player, followed by turning it into a drum machine with preset rhythms such as Bossa Nova, Samba and Tango.

I showed it off on my old instance at https://fosstodon.org/@axwax/110210800164181204 and under the hashtag #RadioRhythmAce.

Attached: 1 video This weekend I finally reassembled my vintage radio-turned preset drum machine (which I dubbed the #RadioRhythmAce) with added PCM5102-based line out and servo-based rhythm dial. As I also kinda finished my modded Radio Shack delay, I had to try them out together. Behold the completely unrehearsed/improvised/one-take #DubItUpSunday jam. 🔈 🎶 To hear the full jam with shoddy MS-10 bass line check out https://yewtu.be/8P9Ky0wRUqI or https://diode.zone/w/kJaRF5UPUAneGiyeQSDoPe #DAWless #Dub #MusicMaker #MyMakes

Tonight I've been playing with using a servo to revive the vintage radio's station dial and turn it into Radio Rhythm Ace's rhythm selector display.

NB: I only programmed in a few rhythms, and they are subject to change.

Also, note to self: Next time EAT before creating the dial - it's Merengue not meringue! 🍙 👨‍🍳
