Description
TouchBass is one of the instruments that has its own faceplate in the Touch 2 kit. The README describes two oscillators (the second can act as a sound source or as AM), a resonant filter with envelope amount, an arpeggiator controlled by pattern, pitch and envelope randomisation knobs, reverb, and a choice of three scales. It plays monophonically or paraphonically and responds to MIDI control changes. Source for the C++ version lives in its own repository, with older DaisyDuino sketches in simple-touch-instruments.
