    Dodepan: Lo-Fi Raspberry Pi Pico Music Maker

    Dodepan is a hexagon formed lo-fi musical instrument from TuriSc which is powered by our favourite microcontroller, the  Raspberry Pi Pico. Utilizing twelve inputs and one sensor, this unassuming instrument creates lo-fi beats to sit back to and turns into a MIDI instrument.

    The undertaking, Dodepan makes use of 12 capacitive contact pads, linked to an MPR121 capacitive contact module, as inputs, and TuriSc states that “the bottom observe it will probably produce is C2 (Midi quantity 36), the best D8 (Midi quantity 110), so its chromatic vary is 75 notes.” The important thing might be modified utilizing a knob, together with considered one of 16 scales on one other knob. There might be as much as six concurrent voices (polyphonic) directly and every of the inputs are assigned a observe based mostly on the present scale and key.  What does that imply? Nicely briefly, it will probably make music from a spread of beeps and tones.
