OscPocketD/Synth - portable beat/song-making studio with synths and drum machine!

Working version finished!

Welcome to the OscPocketD (OPD) - the Daisy Pocket Synth!

Demo: https://youtu.be/ocJnv1VTkYQ

The goal is to combine the Electosmith Daisy Seed with a 16x2 LCD Keypad to make a simple, inexpensive and portable beat/song making tool running open source software.

All software is running on the Daisy computer, including sound generation!

The OPD features:
• 3 x bassline tracks, 32 notes each (1/16ths, 2 bars), one editable subtractive synth per track
• 3 x lead tracks, up to 64 notes/rests each, one editable subtractive synth per track
• 1 x chord track, up to 64 notes/rests each, one editable subtractive 3-note polysynth
• 1 x drum machine, 32 steps (1/16ths, 2 bars), with VA sound generation of kick, snare, open hihat, closed hihat, crash and clap
• synths that combine a VCO, a VCF and an ADSR and are editable (waveform, detune, LPF cutoff, resonance, attack, decay, sustain, release)
• a drum machine that creates the sounds using oscillators and noise generators with VCFs end ENVs, the sounds are editable
• an 8 channel mixer with volume and pan (and soon some FX!)
• 4 different note editors for each track style (bass, lead, chord, drum)
• 10 sequences per track (0-9)
• a pattern play and a song play mode
• a song editor where you can chain sequences on all 8 tracks, up to 100 steps
• utility functions for saving and loading to Flash, setting gate time and manipulating sequences (and soon FX editing!)
• a compact UI running on a 16x2 LCD screen
