The Erica Synths Pikocore XL is a lo-fi music mangler based on the Raspberry Pi, developed by Zack Scholl. The original DIY kit comes in a miniature pocket calculator formfactor, Erica Synths wanted to make it more playable, so they reached out to Zack and developed Pikocore XL version that has identical functionality, but comes in Erica Synths signature hands on user interface and proper aluminium enclosure.
