nyblcore kit

The nyblcore is a delightfully minimal, lo-fi sample player that turns severe hardware limitations into a creative playground—packing just 8 kB of audio into a tiny ATtiny85-powered device, yet offering a surprising range of warped, glitchy textures through its hands-on knobs and effects. Its charm lies in its unpredictability: unstable tempos, crunchy 8-bit sound, and hackable open-source design invite experimentation rather than precision, making it less a polished instrument and more a pocket-sized machine forsonic exploration.

• powered by a single AAA for ~5-8 hours of battery life.
• holding 8 kB of storage for up to 1.2 seconds of 8-bit audio sampled @ 4.2 kHz.
• controlled with three multi-functional knobs that modulate tempo, volume, distortion, and fx.
• manipulated with three fx knobs for audio warping (jump, retrig, stutter and stretch).
• able to load custom firmware / audio using an Arduino or an AVR usb programmer.
• open-source*, wonderfully hackable.
