Squelch (Tasty Chips Piggy demo)
Demonstrating the Piggy
This composition acts as a demo to showcase all the possibilities of a particular instrument.
Apart from the percussion, all sounds evident on this recording stem from a Piggy, an Arduino-driven monophonic synthesizer developed by Pieter van der Meer of Tasty Chips Electronics.
There are a total of eleven Piggy tracks, of which four are harmonizing with each other either creating chords or multi-voice melodies.
Apart from occasional use of overdrive and delay, all sounds were recorded dry, showcasing the sound of a Piggy as it is delivered from its output.
The track highlights the dynamic range of the synthesizers ADSR envelopes, FM modulation and resonant filter.
