The BitBuddy is an expansion for the Music Thing Turing Machine. It adds a cascade of further gates and triggers to the chaotic beauty of the Turing, which can be used for rhythms, melodies and casual happenings. The build is nice and easy including some delicate SMD soldering. In this video, I stumble about trying to get it to work and learn a lot about the Turing machine in the process.
