Matcha

Matcha is a little space to make a little music. Tap a chord and start playing. The first Omnichord gave you a grid of chord buttons: pick a root, then major, minor or 7th. Matcha flips it. You pick the root and it picks the colour for your key. In C major that's the seven in-key chords plus five off-key ones I picked by hand, like A♭maj7 and the backdoor B♭7, and you can still recolour any chord after.

Run a chord through one tape deck and it all wobbles together, because it's one tape at one speed. In Matcha each voice gets its own wow and flutter, so a held chord drifts apart a little, like a few people playing. I like that more.

The 8-bit sounds in the sampler are 16,384 samples each, the same budget a Fairlight CMI Series I voice had. I left them 8-bit and didn't denoise them, just rolled off some top.

And my tape saturation has a code comment calling plain tanh a fuzz pedal. I added a small bias for the 2nd harmonic tape is famous for, then read that cassettes get rated by the 3rd. So the fuzz pedal was the tape-like part all along. I left it in anyway.
