@mwichary@mastodon.online So you use the yellow pegs to create one dot matrix character at a time? I love the “QUICK BROWN FOX” setting. Does “PROG SEQUENCE” produce a King Crimson riff? And I like gear that has a whole panel section for “DISTORTION”

@mwichary@mastodon.online oooh is this reusing pin matrices that also got used on synths? What are they originally for?

@mwichary@mastodon.online This is actually how I write all my code. But because I'm manipulating the pins in Emacs, I manage to keep up with people who have real keyboards.

@mwichary@mastodon.online, 8-bit telegraph codes? Now that's curious. Though it's a test generator, so perhaps it's just intended to support arbitrary sequences.

@mwichary@mastodon.online Keyboards was always overrated …. And pretentious too, with all those keys and taking so much space. A desperate scream for intentions 😒

@mwichary@mastodon.online Those pins *must* have a fascinating name. Or were they called just "pins"?

@mwichary@mastodon.online My faourite part of this are the two rows for spare pins. Such a nice touch for lossless pin storage.
