Product information "Erica Synths - Pikocore XL"
Pikocore XL is a Raspberry Pi–powered lo-fi music mangler originally developed by Zack Scholl.
The Picocore has been reimagined by Erica Synths with a more playable, performance-ready design. The original Pikocore started life as a tiny pocket-calculator DIY device; Erica Synths worked with Zack to preserve the same functionality while giving it their signature hands-on interface and a sturdy aluminum enclosure.
Features:
• 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 alkaline 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.
DIY-Kit-Type:
SMD-Kit-1. This is a Do-It-Yourself kit, not an assembled module. The kit includes all parts to build the module. All SMD parts are pre-soldered, only trough-hole parts to solder. For build guide, more info, videos etc. please check the buttons below.
