pikocore is…
- a lo-fi music mangler based on the raspberry pi pico (brother of the nyblcore).
- capable of holding 8 minutes of 8-bit 33 khz monophonic samples.
- powered by a single aaa battery for up to 3 hours or by powered by usb-c.
- tempo-synced with a selectable bpm between 60 and 300, with samples mangled by beat-synced effects (stutter, retrig, gate, tunneling).
- loaded with real-time effects like a resonant filter, timestretching, volume, and wavefolding.
- sequenced with a 128-step sequencer with recording/playback
- saved and loaded via eeprom for instant patch recall.
- able to load custom firmware, new samples, all through usb-c.
- sync-compatible with pocket operators.
- open-source, wonderfully hackable.
