Description
ZenTouch lays nine playable tines across the Touch 2 pads in a kalimba pattern with the scale root at the centre pad. A knob selects one of eight Karplus-Strong voices and another sweeps a twelve-scale arc drawn mostly from Japanese, Chinese and Indian scales. One switch adds a fifth or a third on every tine, the other shifts octaves for new notes, and an audio-buffer looper with three overdub layers does not use up voices. The web manual has an in-browser emulator and downloadable faceplates. Only binaries are published.
Install notes
Download the newest ZenTouch .bin (V3 at last check) from the repository and flash it to the Daisy Seed, for example with the Daisy Seed web programmer. The manual covers calibration of the pads.
