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.
