Summary of Glitchbox – audio sequencing music instrument
Amanda Ghassaei published the Glitchbox, an audio-sequencing instrument that can act as a standalone audio device using Arduino flash storage or as a USB MIDI sequencer to a computer. Detailed build instructions and an Instructable provide full project information and assembly guidance.
Parts used in the Glitchbox:
- Arduino (with sufficient flash memory)
- USB connector for MIDI/USB connection
- Audio output jack
- Storage for audio data via Arduino flash
- Power supply or battery
- Enclosure or case
- Wiring and connectors
- Control interface components (buttons/knobs/switches)
Amanda Ghassaei has published on her website an interesting project: the Glitchbox.
This instrument can do two different things:

-it can be used as a standalone audio device, with the audio data stored in the arduino’s flash memory
-it can also be used to sequence MIDI through a usb connection to your computer
There is also a detailed instructable with all the information needed.
