#macropadsynthplug — Public Fediverse posts

@musevg oh that needs a longer explanation, but the tl:dr is, that @todbot built a #MacroPadSynthPlug that adds a sound output feature to an adafruit numpad and I made a cheap version where I combined both.

Here's a thread on what I focused on while designing:

And then I got a broken casio keyboard and combined another key-test board thing with the LoKiPad here: https://chaos.social/@davedarko/109908178460110314

Danger, rude noise! Ever wanted an Atari Punk Console synth but couldn't find the time to twiddle knobs? With an @adafruit MacroPad RP2040 & my “autopunkconsole” you can get Punk Console-like sounds, automatically! And if you have a #MacroPadSynthPlug, you can pipe the audio to your sound system!

got some nice resonance going here, definitely enjoying the lokipad so far, after the hick-up with the LEDs. I want battery and an amp now :D #MacroPadSynthPlug is a win :)

#LoKiPAD

Lotsa #PicoTouch and #MacroPadSynthPlug orders sent out today! Thanks everyone who ordered! And thanks @hackster_io & @tindie for the posts bump! #tindie

Want a drone #synth for your @adafruit #MacroPad #RP2040? Yeah I did too! With the #MacroPadSynthPlug you can too. 12 independently-controllable oscillators, change them one at a time, or in groups. Tell the oscillators to "scatter" for maximum dissonance. Who needs musicality when you got noise?

More #MacroPadSynthPlug! My #CircuitPython-based drum machine for @adafruit #MacroPad #RP2040 now supports multiple drum kit sample packs! Selectable *while playing* (and mostly without missing a beat). It's really amazing how fast it is to iterate in CircuitPython. I added the multi-kit support in about an hour. #adafruit #drummachine

What I did during holiday: MacroPadSynthPlug! I really like the @adafruit MacroPad RP2040. It could be a really fun stand-alone musical instrument, but it has no Audio Out. Except now it does! MacroPadSynthPlug is a small board that gives you Audio Out & TRS-A MIDI In. Here's a demo of a simple drum machine in #CircuitPython. No other synths, just #MacroPad #RP2040! More details in video desc. And more demos to come
