Prismatic Spray II

Independently made noise boxes are often a fun way to explore sounds from a completely different perspective. Here's a good example of one such box - the Prismatic Spray II from https://distropolisgoods.com/. It's a beatbyte synth with two sound engines, full MIDI implementation, glide, pitchbend, 60 save slots, fast visual refresh rate and more. The box is coming soon and you can find out more here...  

Prismatic Spray II is a deeply explorable, stereo bytebeat synth that implements many novel features. It includes a multitude of physical controls, mesmerizing visuals and full MIDI implementation. The Prismatic Spray II is an evolution of the original in the following ways:

• Dual bytebeat engines, configurable independently
• Multiple on-device visualization styles, viewable in color or grayscale
• Much faster display refresh rate for more fluid visualizations
• Web-serial display of visualizations to compatible desktop browsers (Chrome, Edge...)
• DETUNE for slight variations in pitch 
• PAN a bytebeat incantation between the left and right engines
• GLIDE from pitch to pitch with adjustable rate
• PITCH SCALING attempts to keep bytebeat "tempo" consistent while changing PITCH
• LOOP CENTER adjustment for fine tuning looped bytebeats
• LOOP PING PONG reflects a loop between START/STOP points
• MIDI pitch bend +/- 2 semitones
• Digitally controlled analog filter - recallable settings and controllable via MIDI
• 60+ bytebeat incantations
• 60 save slots
• USB-C for power/MIDI
• Improved display with metal bezel
• PITCH is now represented in chromatic scale
• Bytebeat incantations now display the original creator (or my best guess)
