#pocket miku

So this is what Hatsune Miku would sound like singing through a Moog Subharmonicon.

The little white synthesizer is the Gakken NSX-39 "Pocket Miku", a stylus-based synth using the NSX-1 Vocaloid chip. It's in a mode where it uses Miku's voice to sing solfege — "do", "re", "mi", and so on — based on the tapped notes. If the volume of one of those sung notes is loud enough, it triggers the two Sigma slew limiters, which are tuned to output different subharmonics of that starting note. Which subharmonic is playing changes in time with the s&h module. (A deeper explanation for that is under the cut.) The three tones — Miku's voice and the two divided down signals — combine to create randomly changing chords.

We're exploiting the Sigma's Trigger input. When that input receives a trigger — the front edge of a high enough signal — the module produces a signal that's then slowed down by the Rise and Fall settings: the output goes from its lowest point to its highest point over the duration set by the Rise knob, and then back down over the duration set by the Fall knob. This process is how a function/slew limiter works as an AD envelope generator or an LFO.

To work as a frequency divider, you pass a repeating signal into that Trigger input, and it again does its rise and fall thing. Because the envelope isn't retriggerable, if the rise time plus the fall time is greater than the duration between the input triggers, it starts skipping them. The basic case is that you're skipping every other trigger, and your output now has a frequency of half that of the input — or, if you're working at audio rates, the output is one octave lower, because those are really the same thing.

The CV inputs are set to lengthen or contract the whole cycle proportionately to their input voltage, so when the random voltages of a s&h are given to it, the cycle changes the factor by which the frequencies are divided. Since the CV is attenuated to different degrees on the different Sigma modules, you get differing amounts of frequency changing.

I actually have no idea who this miku anime girl does or do, but for what I heard she sings, and is in the triple baka video (i watched the homestuck version first) also what's funny is that miku hates British people (I think)

Here's the new Project Voltage song, 'Evolution, Evolution, Evolution' by Sasuke Haraguchi, with more songs announced for 2025!

Tomica rolling figures of Koraidon and Miraidon have been announced, releasing Dec14! (They'd be available via the Japanese Pokemon Center.)

A new Wonder Pick event is live in TCG Pocket, rewarding Venusaur-themed accessories and promos for Bulbasaur and Magnemite.

And lastly in more miscellaneous news, Costumed Lilligant's event has begun alongside Rowlet in Deliveries!

Miku sketch ft. an outfit I definitely didn't make up on the spot.

Another thing I made ages ago that I've not yet posted here; something from, like, July of last year??

I might redo this sometime, I know I could probably do better now.

drawings from camping. i literally lost my eraser before even getting there so sorry for questionable drawings. the reo and flower are… definitely not my best drawings 😭

also do we like the last style orrr..? i can’t tell if it’s really ugly or i like it

“Sweet as sugar…

…call me Sweetie!”

This is actually the first (and probably last) gacha life 2 oc I made! She turned out so cute so I just had to draw her >3<

A trailer has aired for that live action series, it's due out Oct19 in Japan. (As neat as it is to have a live-action Pokemon series now, I wish the premise was a little more interesting. I think most of us had envisioned something a little like the Detective Pikachu movie. Like, having it take place in the actual Pokémon world with Pokémon by your side.)

For our next Project Voltage song, it will be titled Electrical Forecast (by inabakumori)! Here's the promo art!

These figures will be available in Japan in November via Takara Tomy. 👀 at the Floragato. (It might still be a little too early for Liko's Sprigatito to evolve, but imo, it should eventually. It doesn't really have the excuse of being a mascot Pokémon like Pikachu did.)

And lastly, some new Holowear for Buzzwole is now available!
