The Wee O3

An ionized O2 MiniPop

The Wee O3 is an Arduino Nano based emulation of a Korg Mini Pops drum machine.
The O3 follows Jan Ostman's O2 from 2016 with additional features and optimizations for the Korg SQ-1 sequencer.

In addition to the standard 16 drum patterns and 8 samples the following features are provided:

New Features

• Analog pitch control via potentiometer or CV input. Changing the pitch will change the tempo as well because pitch control is achieved by changing the interrupt timing.
• Combined CV / potentiometer input for selecting a sample (rising edge) and triggering it (falling edge). Compatible with the littleBits OUT of the Korg SQ-1 sequencer.
• Manual S Trigger input for triggering the selected sample.
• Bi directional clocking: Turning tempo all the way down disables internal clock and switches system to clock input.
• CV input for tempo control.
• CV input for drum pattern selection.
• Double functionality for A0-A3: Sequence counter when running, pattern number when stopped. LEDs or a display connected to these pins make pattern selection easier.

  Hardware

  While the schematics in this repo provide full functionality, the circuit can be easily reduced and optimized.
