Lofi Sampler

Lofi Sampler

This project is cool little looper/sampler project based around the ISD1820 “voice recorder” IC. It’s dirty and clicky but surprisingly endearing to play with. It is battery powered, built on a breadboard, and enclosed in a laser cut wooden box with buttons, dials and speaker grill on the top face.

There are many similar designs for using this IC as a simple sampler, this is another. The laser cut enclosure is a bit more novel and affords portability, making it a handheld instrument that can record samples in the field and be played wherever you like.
