Who needs a keyboard

@mwichary ooh, these are lovely photos, too. The way the yellow bounces off the grey…

@mwichary So you use the yellow pegs to create one dot matrix character at a time?

I love the “QUICK BROWN FOX” setting.

Does “PROG SEQUENCE” produce a King Crimson riff?

And I like gear that has a whole panel section for “DISTORTION”

@michaelgemar I don’t think it’s dot matrix. I think each line is a character encoding. Like ASCII, but before ASCII.

@mwichary oooh is this reusing pin matrices that also got used on synths? What are they originally for?

@mwichary This is actually how I write all my code. But because I'm manipulating the pins in Emacs, I manage to keep up with people who have real keyboards.

[michaelgemar@cosocial.ca]

@mwichary I was being facetious, but also confused because I’m not sure what this gear actually does.

@mwichary you sunk my battleship

@mwichary needs some ships!

@mwichary, 8-bit telegraph codes? Now that's curious.

Though it's a test generator, so perhaps it's just intended to support arbitrary sequences.

@mwichary HALLT?
