TEE1010 Part 6 - Song Mode With Drums - An FCB1010 rebuild with a Teensy 4.1

John136772 · 1 October 2021 09:02

I’m am rebuilding a FCB1010 into something that is more capable. To do this I have gutted the internals and installed a Teensy 4.1 and Teensy Audio card. I have delusions of it working like a bass pedal, MIDI sequencer and/or drum machine.

In this Video I explain how I included drums into Song Mode. Drum patterns in 5 different styles (and also with swing) can be selected using the Foot Pedals 6-8. There are also extra oscillators and a song count in. To vary the patterns there is a probability value for each sound.

Hey John,

Thanks for sharing, looks good!

By the way, I noticed your repo linked in the video description. Thought I’d add it here too for anyone following along at home for you

/* FCB 1010 Teensy 4.1 Modification  ----- TEE1010 
   By John Melki-Wegner (aka Expensive Notes)
   Simple Mono Synth Version
   Three Modes:
   1. Synth - Press and release a pedal (1-8) for a note
   2. Latch Mode - Tap a Pedal to start a note - No need to hold it which is good for guitar players
   3. Arp Mode - Tap a pedal to initiate an arp - Arp pattern and length can be varied up to 8 notes
   4. Song Patterns. 100 song defined up to 32 note patterns. - Press Enter to Toggle Song and Edit modes on device - Use Pot 2 and 3 to change notes - Auto save to EEProm on leaving
   5. Drums with 11 patterns over 4 styles - Acoustic or Electronic Kit - Sub Oscillator
   Important change to reading pots. Changes can only occur after the pot is 'close' to it's previous value.
   That is you need to turn through the previous value. Allows each pot to have more than one task
