"Two weeks after the first demo, holic is evolving!

holic is an experimental drum machine and sequencer built on M5Stack Tab5, inspired by the playful workflow of the Pocket Operator PO-32 tonic.

The biggest change is the sound engine. Previously, sounds were generated at startup and played back as samples. Now, they're synthesized in real time using relatively simple techniques to keep the processing lightweight on the ESP32.

New bass and chord synths have also been added. The chord synth supports up to four notes, expanding holic beyond basic drum patterns.

This demo features a performance using pre-made patterns, switching between them during playback.

With more features comes a new challenge: figuring out how to fit everything into a simple, playable touchscreen interface.

Still an experimental project, but getting closer to a complete little instrument!
