555+4040 = Fun on a rainy day

Nothing much to do today school it finally over and I got some more time to mess around in the garage. Nothing to fancy here just a 555 acting as a clock for a 4040 and having a grand old time. The signal is pulsing because the power rail is coming in contact with one of the outputs of the 4040.

16 Step Up/Down Sequencer

This is by Dr. Offset

"At some point in every DIY Synth enthusiast's journey they realize that they need some sort of structured way to control all the madness they've created. You want to build a sequencer. Often the first type of sequencer you build is something like the Baby 10, a ten step machine based off the 4017 decade counter chip. That's fine, and a lot of people do great music with it."
