Description
A Detuned Transmissions firmware. Capture is triggered from the FSU button or the right input, and a settings page stores global options across reboots and reflashes. The top part of the pitch CV range adds Shepard tone and seeded sequence zones. Source code is not published; the repository holds the prebuilt binary, a README manual and a license file.
