Eight sound channels cover the whole arrangement: six synthesis tracks for kick, snare, hihat, bass, lead and chords, plus two sampler tracks for everything else, fed by the onboard mic, the line input or your own samples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sequencer runs deep: sixteen tracks with sixteen patterns of sixteen steps each, conditional steps, ratcheting, chord sequencing, per-track arpeggiators, live sequencer effects and a song mode. And it does not stop at the internal sounds. The same sixteen tracks can drive external MIDI gear, turning the PGB-1 into a pocket brain for an entire hardware setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kicker is the firmware: fully open source and hackable in CircuitPython, C\/C++ and Ada, with regular updates that keep adding engines and features.
