This box is glitch heaven! Never having soldered before, I’d never be able to put it together on my own, but attended a recent workshop at Volt Music in Rotterdam and was patiently guided through the assembly by the good folk of Erica Synths. However, when I try to connect it to the Mac it doesn’t show up and so I’m unable to load samples – I’ve tried what I find suggested online (changing cables, restarting the Mac, ditto the Pikocore) without success. The Mac Terminal app shows it is recognised, but I cannot get it to appear as an icon. Unfortunately, there’s no support from Erica Synths for the DIY version, and no dedicated forum that I can find. Any tips gratefully received!
Strange, I haven’t had trouble connecting it to my mac. I found it a bit tricky but you have to press a small button on the Pi chip, accessible through a small hole in the case, before connecting.
If you need support, you can reach out to zack@infinitedigits.co , the original creator of the device.
Yes that’s the one. Use a paper clip or similar and feel around for a push button. It needs to be pressed when powering on the unit for it to be detected as a drive.
Anyone have issues with the rightmost volume/filter control ? Mine only reduces the level partially down to 12 o’clock, and does nothing below that. I’m wondering if a component may have been installed backwards ?
