Out of the box, Big Honking Button will give you a nice "HONK!" every time you press that delicious button. However, the fun doesn't stop there. You can easily connect this module to your computer with a standard USB cable (the USB port is on the bottom of the module) and it'll show up as a tiny external drive. You can then put your own samples onto it and even customize its behaviour.

Big Honking Button is a fun, simple way to add a flexible little sampler to your setup.

Because the Biog Honking Button runs CircuitPython you can customize quite a lot about it- you could turn it into a random gate generator, for example. You can load multiple samples and have the CV in select between samples, or just play a random sample. There's lots of possibilities here & there's several examples in the user guide.

Customization is super easy thanks to the way CircuitPython works. You just connect a standard USB cable to your computer and to the USB port on the bottom of the module and it'll show up as a small external drive. From there, you can edit code.py and change how it works as well as load up new samples. It's basically a little computer that has a gate in, a gate out, a -5 to +5v ADC input, and a -10 to +10 audio output with 10 bits of resolution.

Specs:

Size: 8hp

Audio out

Gate in (the sample is triggered by the button or gate in)

Gate out (comes from the button or gate in)

Pitch CV in (-5v to +5v)*

8MBj flash storage for code & samples

Reversible panel so you can put the button at the bottom if you need to

+12v 25mA, -12v 5mA

100% open source hardware & software

* Modules made before 2021 have 2MB of storage and a pitch CV range of -2v to +2v. Post-2021 boards are labeled v5 or above.
