Whatever happened to Sonic Crayon pedals?

[cloudscapes]

Right now it's on breadboard, though I might get a clip up on the weekend. I'll make a thread in the other sub for it instead of on here.

8 of the knobs come from the 4 oscillators (tuning and amplitude for each) which can be on all at once, or amplitude modulated by a quadrature LFO. Better than a sequencer like zvex imo, it's less like stages and more of a smooth blending between them. Pretty cool for drones/ambient. Other stuff like oscillator wave shape (wavetable blending), and plain oscillator output (so you can use it just as a quadrature-sequenced drone synth).

Mainly I just needed am excuse to get into ARM programming.

That sounds rad!

Just a bump here because this thread turned too quiet!

You design and program, I assemble and paint.

This offer still stands.

If all things work out, I've got a SC Moth bitcrusher incoming soon. I'll be sure to post some pics and maybe even a short video.

I must have subconsciously known about the Moth bitcrusher when I made this form2

Hey,

I was wondering where do you (Cloudscapes) find this information about audio signal processing.
You mentioned several times that you're self taught and just a hobbyist, but you also can talk about the different methods for slowing down a signal and how one method if historical while the other one is modern. I think it's a pretty impressive example of self education and i'm curious about your technical sources. Where do you look when you want to find how to produce a specific effect?

I guess i'm also curious about the way you bridged the gap between analog and digital. I'm currently doing that and I find the learning curve pretty steep.

Anyway thanks for sharing insights about what you do, it's pretty inspiring.

My Sonic Crayon Moth (along with two other pedals) was sent from the US on the 9th and somehow ended up in Portugal on the 11th. It's been M.I.A. since. So the Moths might even be more rare now.

Ooof that's a huge bummer. Usually things will get returned to sender rather than outright lost so hopefully there is a resolution eventually.

I don’t think this went into production but this is so “next level” to me... still... and this was uploaded 8 years ago. I can only imagine the response then

Yeah it was never made beyond that one. I still have it in a box somewhere, doubt it still works. The sound quality is so bad because I was still new to sampling and was still using slow chips at the time.

The feature to shift a loop "playback window" around stuck though and the idea made it into the anti-nautilus (in a slightly different shape)!

The need to build a new weird sampling thing has been calling to me this year. Kind of still haven't figured out sampling beyond "medium fidelity" though. Still stuck on getting codecs/i2s/dma to work. Every year I try these again but can't get past the hurdle of understanding/setting up dma+i2s.

Well... if you feel so inclined to either 1. Sell me the one you made with that AWFUL SOUND QUALITY... JUST TERRIBLE (I'm being very sarcastic) or 2. Make another and sell to me... I would be so in...
IF NOT, I understand. Feel free to call me Mrs. Soy Boy either way.
I was sold on the description for the record "not intuitive and not user friendly"

You know what they say, "If something's is too hard. Just don't do it. Embrace the hurdle. Nobody has time to jump over hurdles anyway. Who put that there?"

[Confuzzled]

In my quarantined madness I started looking for pedals, deals, and maybe investing in something I've always wanted and sonic crayon came to mind, so I'm bumping this because I want to.

[qersty]

wasnt there somebody selling a HE not so long ago?

Still dreaming of Mechanical Sun here... Lockdown isn't helping...

Bumping as three are on reverb. Pretty wild to see any for sale. They are not cheap
