pikocore v2 firmware

video upload by infinitedigits

"pikocore has a brand new firmware that will work on all pikocore devices or pikocore remixes.

the firmware has two major changes:

1) total revamp of the "stretch" to an amazing sounding grain-based timestretch and

2) a sample manager that works over usb in the browser! no need to reflash firmwares when changing samples.

simply connect to a website (https://pikocore.com), and add/delete/rearrange your audio files in the browser (chrome works best). additionally if you are using the ittybittymidi just click a checkbox on the sample manager.

diy kits still available at https://shop.infinitedigits.co/

Favorite Norns Scripts for Plinky

video upload by Nathan Plante Synths

"I have lots of fun combining these two pieces of gear so I thought I would share some of that fun with you all. Norns is a fantastic little music computer and there is so much more you can do with it than I show here. This video is less tutorial and more just jamming with Plinky and different Norns scripts. Enjoy!

One-Bit Delay, a new plugin by Infinite Digits, inspired by the PT2399 delay chip

video upload by infinitedigits

https://onebitdelay.com

"Introducing the One-Bit Delay plugin - a VST/AU inspired by the one-bit sampling delay circuits from the 90's. it is my love letter to the classic delay chips like the PT2399 and M50195P.

this plugin uses a one-bit stream at its core. like the classic chips, this plugin uses delta-sigma modulation to manage noise above the audio band (though the plugin has a configurable sample rate to change the noise level!). also the One-Bit Delay plugin has demodulation filters tuned to the PT2399, and the harmonic distortion is modeled and closely follows the change in resistance applied to the internal oscillator (like the PT2399).

thank you all who continue to support me, I'm truly grateful - your support is allowing me to continue to crystalize musical artifacts."

ectocore - how does the amen knob/cv work?

"using the lovely o-o-o strip from ‪@infinitedigits‬ with some samples I managed to make...something? the script is pretty great to get some ideas down quickly and still have enough room for performance.

yoctocore - a midi to cv box

video upload by infinitedigits

"yoctocore is the thing I've needed for years.

there are so many midi to cv boxes out there, but so few of them have 4 pitch/envelope pairs with a wide range of voltage (-5 to +10v). yoctocore has 8 cv outputs, each with a wide cv range, each that can be programmed to be 1) a midi to pitch, or 2) an envelope that triggers on any of the outputs), or 3) a lfo, or 4) a clock, or 5) a sequencer, or 6) a simple a block of code that runs on the beat, that you can define to be whatever you want.

also its entirely open-source (https://github.com/schollz/yoctocore) so in case there is something you want to change, you can."

ectocore + distortion

video upload by infinitedigits

"ectocore with a short piece of melodic sample, heavily distorted.

without CV, the "amen" knob is like a mini rungler sequencer. turning it selects different random step sequences- here it has selected a 6 step sequence. turning the amen attenuator (without cv) adds in stepped randomness, creating more variety in the 6-step pattern.

turning the break knob adds random effects (here I think there is reverse and delay).

everything is going into https://crey.space 'bib' 1u module (don't @ me for my wiring lol) and then into the "crest" module. lots of stereo reverb + distortion + saturation."

Synthstrom Deluge - classic downtempo synth with Zeptocade, Chroma Console

video upload by Jay Hosking

See this post for additional details on the Zeptocade.

"Please support my work on Patreon: / jayhosking
A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

Full disclosure: Ian from Synthstrom got in touch and we were discussing my older Deluge videos. I mentioned I had been missing the Deluge since I sold it, and he kindly offered to ship one to me so I could try the new screen and community firmware. I didn't pay for this Deluge, although I did pay taxes and duty on it (O, Canada). In short, while I bought my original Deluge, this new one was sent by Synthstrom.

But I have to say it's so good to have it back. The updates to the hardware (i.e. the screen) and the firmware have fixed basically every shortcoming I felt in the device, and they did so without compromising what makes the Deluge so great. Thanks to the screen, I can finally learn how to better use the device without resorting to YouTube searches, I can easily adjust patches and use samples effectively, and I can see all the new effects and other changes. And thanks to the community firmware, I can now bust out of the one-endless-loop mentality with grid mode, and have stereo chorus, and so much more. And somehow, all these new additions don't seem to get in the way of what made the Deluge so great in the first place: great synth sounds, feeling like a sketchpad space where it's fun to quickly draft ideas, buttons that feel really great to the touch, and a complete groovebox package with endless sequencing plus MIDI and CV out.

Here, I relied on some of those well-known Boards of Deluge preset packs (go check them out!) to drum up some inspiration. From there, I started to explore looped audio stretching, which I'd never done in the Deluge but was now so easy, as well as resampling. And finally, I switched into the new grid mode for some easy arrangement and clip launching. It's just awesome.

I wanted some more drums, and something with a few more buttons to play, so I added in the Infinitedigits Zeptocore/Zeptocade. It's an audio loop slicer and player with a strong emphasis on performability, which is right up my alley. It's also imperfect, which I discuss more in the Patreon behind-the-scenes video. In short, I adore the performance aspect and think it sounds so good (especially through the Chroma Console for saturation, compression, and delay), but I also struggled to keep it in tempo and not bugging out.

Ultimately, I was surprised where this one ended up. I thought it was going to be a busy fast song, but it fell into a more contemplative and interesting backbeat.

Thanks for listening.

RAND combo creates a random sequence on the current sample.

FILL + RAND will activate generative drum beats that will regenerate every 32 beats.

zeptocore is synced via usb midi. all the drum sounds are from the zeptocore using samples from the amazing @starpowerdrums sample pack. all the synth sounds from the op-1."
