Casper Electronics DIY synth building. Part 2: Sequencers

The OMSynth is now available for purchase! Along with kits for this video: More info here: Learn how to make a variety of musical pattern sequencers using a few common electrical components and a breadboard. This video is part 2 in a 3 part series. PART 1: building oscillators. PART 3: Lo-fi sampler. Get more info, schematics and drawings for the circuits shown in this video here: MORE LINKS BELOW!!
