Description
Degenerator records a loop of up to 60 seconds in a stereo buffer and lets you shape it by adding and removing material while it degrades. Nothing is stored across power cycles because the buffer clears on boot. This version is a port of the author's Degenerator card for the Music Thing Modular Workshop Computer, rebuilt for the Touch 2's two switches, six knobs, two faders and twelve pressure-sensitive pads. The project is hosted on Codeberg.
