Introduction to 8bit

This is a programmable computer with 8-bit audio output.

Functionality#

• It uses AtTiny1616 microcontroller which runs at 20Mhz.
• It's quite limited in terms of RAM, but it can be useful for creating audio sources and effects requires very little memory.
• Has two CV inputs with attenuators.
• Built-in low pass filter to smooth out the audio output if needed.
• MODE switch with LED indicator for implementing custom modes.

Inputs#

1. MIDI In
2. CV1 In
3. CV2 In
4. Debug pin for the microcontroller
5. Programming pin for the microcontroller

Outputs#

1. MIDI THRU
2. Audio Out
3. Audio Out
4. GATE Out
5. GATE Out

Controls#

• CV1: Attenuate the CV1 input if provided, if not CV1 input is normalized to 3.3V.
• CV2: Attenuate the CV2 input if provided, if not CV2 input is normalized to 3.3V.
• MODE: Toggle button to select the mode.

Programming#

This module can be programmed via an UPDI interface. Check out our guide on programming the 8bit and similar modules.
