Can anybody help me out in gating a 4017 sequencer. I can do it but it doesn't work on quite a few things properly which prompts me to believe it's something i'm overlooking.
On the things that don't like it you get missfires, machinegun triggering and sometimes even the gate signal banging on. Then to complicate matters, i get one pad to trigger each step only to find it goes to the dogs again the moment i connect it to a second pad?? I looked at the get lofi kits the other day and liked what i saw. Easier then using individual trannies. A transistor array ic. Could anyone recommend one to me? I may well just buy a lofi kit if i can't get to the bottom of it and use theirs as a guide
Triggering drums will still work with no gate as you can assign one sound to two pads. But with only four pads and 8 steps on the dd's i like to make, a compromise isn't really ideal :/
