Thingamagoop is back, and this time it's crazier than ever, with the latest version coming with five new FX modes.
The little tentacled, sorry, 'LEDacled' box is part monosynth and part FX unit with a photosensitive sensor, which can manipulate frequency, patches and FX.
The Arduino-based synth has four patches: a detuned saw; triangle wave with LFO; sine wave AM+FM; vowels; and noise. The most notable difference in comparison to its predecessor is the inclusion of effects, which include:
- Square and sine amplitude modulation
- Rate reduction
- Two-pole low-pass filter
- Delay
