This is the easiest mode to get working and it works on any device that will accept a bluetooth keyboard. One is a keyboard emulation which just “types” letters when you push the buttons. It has a few different modes for different systems. The only downside is that I’ve never actually gotten the damn thing to work correctly on any system I’ve connected it to. It’s really small and it fits the “pocket” ethos of the PocketChip. I had a few controllers laying around, but one seemed perfect for the job: the 8BitDo Zero. I wanted to hook up a bluetooth gamepad to my PocketChip so I could play PICO-8 games a little more ergonomically. Well this was way more involved than I had expected. WordPress hates zip files so tar.gz it is. Here’s my edited keyboard button model and my keyboard label files. I laser printed the label on removable vinyl then cut it out on the Cricut. It took some trial and error, but I ended up with a font and size that looks ok. The buttons! What do they do?įor the label, I scanned the face plate and placed all the letters in PhotoShop. I broke two but used the tip of a hot glue gun to melt them back together. You have to be super careful pulling the buttons off the printer plate to avoid breaking the bridges between the buttons. Not sure that it helped much because the left arrow still doesn’t feel as clicky as the rest. The bridge connects to the up arrow instead of the left arrow. I also made a small modification to the bridge that connects the escape button to the d-pad per a suggestion on the author’s GitLab account. I used the PLA version of the buttons with 25% infill. It was too much infill and it got rough around the display, still usable. I printed the plate with clear PLA and 36% infill.

Super cool and I need to open that app up again (it was pretty pricey.)Ģ023 was the year of radio. I also dabbled with Synthesizer V and AI singing. It’s 100% worth paying for the full version. Koala Sampler is also fantastic and is a great replacement for the P.O. Dirtywave M8Īlong the way I dabbled in various software. It’s so tedious to use, but I love how small and portable it is and the synth engine is actually pretty nice sounding. The Novations weren’t cutting it so I sold them both and got an MPC One, which is super powerful, but it has some warts (that piano roll is painful.) Finally, I ended up with a Dirtywave M8 which I strangely love. Then I wanted even more synth power so I got an ASM Hydrasynth Explorer. I got a Novation Circuit Tracks which was great, but working with the synths was a pain in the butt because it was all done on the computer. ![]() I wanted to like that more than I did, so I sold that. Then I wanted more power so I got an Arturia MicroFreak. That thing was awesome, but working with samples was kind of limiting so I wanted a synthesizer. That was fun, but the sound quality was meh. I started out with a Teenage Engineering P.O. What have I been doing lately? In the spring of 2022 I got into making music.
