Driven by the Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip, the module contains no internal fixed firmware; instead, it reads code directly from hot-swappable physical Program (PGM) Cards that hold the microcontroller's flash memory. Swapping a card instantly reconfigures the hardware into an entirely new module—ranging from digital reverbs and Turing Machine random voltage generators to MIDI interfaces and synth voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe front panel offers versatile analog and digital I\/O, featuring two Audio\/CV inputs and outputs, two high-precision 1V\/Oct pitch inputs and outputs, and two pulse\/gate inputs and outputs. Physical controls include three potentiometers (one large master dial and two smaller attenuators), a three-way toggle switch (ON-OFF-MOMENTARY), and six feedback LEDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eBecause the module uses standard RP2040 architecture, users can program custom cards via USB using Arduino, C\/C++ (Pico SDK), CircuitPython, or Lua via drag-and-drop file transfers. The Workshop Computer ships with four cards out of the box (Reverb, Simple MIDI, Turing Machine, and a blank card for custom programming) alongside access to an ever-expanding library of community-developed cards.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Thing Modular","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":57991731675468,"sku":null,"price":205.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":57991731708236,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/3055\/0604\/files\/Workshop-Computer-assembled-duo.webp?v=1784738125","url":"https:\/\/www.schneiderskeller.co.uk\/products\/music-thing-modular-computer","provider":"SchneidersKeller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
