Description
The third card in the Workshop Buddies trilogy, Blueberry Smoothie is a hardware-tested monophonic CV and gate recorder conceptually inspired by [Blueberry](https://github.com/plinkysynth/buddies_public/tree/main/sw/src/blueberry), not a direct firmware port or an exact recreation of its hardware interface. Any compatible pitch CV into CV In 1 is snapped to the nearest note in Blueberry's fixed C, D, F, G, A pentatonic set, repeated across octaves; Pulse In 2 supplies an independent gate. The suggested 4 Voltages patch can span several octaves and is not required. Main transposes the quantised result. Down toggles recording, LED 2 shows an active take, and Up plays the saved phrase with recorded timing or one event per Pulse In 1 clock edge. Loops are held in RAM and clear on reset; the card produces pitch and gate, not audio.
