I'm beginning to wonder whether there's room for people to just release spinchip memory (programs) on ICs for people to load in their bitquest.. hmm.. we almost need the much-anticipated-but-never-successful "cartridge" style pedal?

Don't give the monster any ideas, sir.

SHAME.

As a software developer, the idea that I might have a pedal platform to write code for is appealing. But if I got a Spinchip development kit, it won't necessarily be compatible with how the Bitquest is set up. :shrug:

Cooper FX is making just that.

Elta is developing a cartridge pedal, too.

Also: obligatory Axoloti mention. Uses SD cards as cartridges, you can program whatever you want.

I am so excited for a race to cartridge-based pedals.

It's not a pedal (and perhaps it's been mentioned in this thread already), but Tiptop Audio is also using cartridges for their Z-DSP Eurorack module. If it hasn't happened already, then I imagine another builder will be releasing their own cartridge module for Eurorack in the coming year.

The Avalon from Abstrakt Instruments has 5 filter cartridges for modifying the synth's characteristics. (Moog, Roland, Oberheim, ARP, Wasp)

It uses two spin chips and four memory chips (swapped by a switch on the back). They wrote a ton of stuff for it too.

I think they use a clock on it that can be kind of turned to overclock or underclocked the spin. The actual patch designer has more videos (DDP I think they are all listed).

So, uh, no one mentioned this is called the Console.

But which of these can I, as a mere mortal, write code for / make new cartridges for? Guessing the Axoloti but not sure about the rest?

Yes to axoloti. It's rewritable all the time, but if you want to save 'patches' then you can do so on SD cards and load them that way.

I need to get in on the race to the pedalboard. Seems right up my alley.

I really want to do a "glitch-o-lay". I was thinking about how I'd write the C code to glitch the buffer (array) as it looped, in the shower, the other day.

Tell me more about this shower you had.

Elta Console is preordering now.

Kinda I want to for the joystick alone.

Do we think these are new algorithms or likely ripped off?
