Description

A four-track generative soundscape synthesizer for the Music Thing Modular Workshop Computer. Background, Texture, Voices, and Percussion combine continuous synthesis, generated note sequences, and probabilistic event triggering with stereo spatialization and feedback delay network reverb. Flick the switch down to generate a new sound configuration on the hardware. Allow approximately 1-3 seconds of silence at startup and after randomization, followed by the fade-in.

Install notes

Copy the UF2 onto the Computer's program card (RP2040 bootloader drive).
