Five voices
Piano, Fantasy, Violin, Flute and Guitar: five lo-fi characters, each built from a 1-bit pulse. And one voice you program.
Slide TONE to pick a voice. There are no samples in PocketTone: every voice is a 1-bit pulse wave with its own shape and its own envelope, the way the early-80s calculator-synths made sound.
| Voice | Sound | |
|---|---|---|
PIANO | A wide pulse with a quick strike that settles low. | Free |
FLUTE | A plain square with a soft start that holds. | Free |
FANT | Fantasy: a square an octave up, with a long, floating release. | Pro |
VIOLIN | Five uneven pulses per cycle, which give it a buzzy, reedy edge. It swells in and holds. | Pro |
GTR | Guitar: two uneven pulses an octave down, plucked and fading. | Pro |
ADSR | The voice you program with an eight-digit code. See The ADSR voice. | Pro |
