Joy and Joy Lite
braidsgithub.com
Joy and Joy Lite are alternate firmware for the Electrosmith Daisy patch.Init() that turn the module into a macro oscillator. Joy offers dozens of synthesis models in banks, covering analog-style waveforms, hard-sync and triple-oscillator voices, comb, ring-modulation and additive spectra, two-operator FM, digital filter and vowel synthesis, modeled strings, reed and flute, percussion, wavetables, and noise and granular textures. It needs a 64×48 OLED fitted in place of the toggle switch, with a printed front panel; the screen shows the bank, the model and what the timbre and color knobs do on it. Joy Lite runs on an unmodified patch.Init() with a smaller curated set of models in two banks chosen by the toggle, and the LED blinks the model number. On both, the four knobs set timbre, color, attack and decay, and CV inputs add V/oct pitch, timbre and color modulation, and FM. Gate input 1 triggers the envelope, and with nothing patched there the voice drones; gate input 2 hard-syncs the oscillator, and the button steps through models and banks. Pitch comes only from the V/oct input, as there is no manual tuning knob. A two-point V/oct calibration runs on the module, and the last model is remembered across power cycles.
