What does it do ?

Adds 8 instruments to the programmable speaker, one called "Hypersaw-1", Hypersaw-2", a "SynthWave" and 5 "Choirs", Choir "mmm" Choir "iiih"Choir "oooh"Choir "aaah" and Choir "eeeh" for you to make music or alerts.
Those are inspired by the "pad" category from the MIDI standard but were custom made. Feel free to suggest improvements, or request other instrument.

The picture isn't one of a pad !

I know "pads" is something that has button and on the picture it's knob and sliders, but i thought the title would be ugly if it was "pads & other instrument that i'm not sure in which category to put them, like modular synth and the different pads in the MIDI standard from which they are loosely adapted". The picture is more accurate than the title ! It's a conceptual representation of the instrument and the combinators in factorio. And it features a bit of cloud, aurora borealis, water and stars/galaxy because that's what the instruments presented are often used to evocate.

Here comes more details about the instruments and demo video and links to blueprints :

Newest !

SynthWave : samples last 8 seconds, of 480 ticks, the sound is a fast attack, and a long and slow modulated decay, made following tutorial on the internet

Here is a demo featuring some of my other modded instruments , the pad is used for the doiiooinoinoninoig sound :)

Here is a page with the blueprint and a demo save

"Hypsersaw-1" : samples last 8 second or 480 ticks, with a slow attack over 2 second, then 4 second sustain, and then 2 second decay/silence. ( See the picture of the note G7 showing only 1 side, it won't work for very short notes).

Here is a demo of a machine playing with it :

It's me who made the machine ! I'm not too sure what i'm doing regarding music composition and theory, (disclaimer) . Those sample being quite long , 8 second, they can be "easier" to use to make slow ambiant music, or to try to change the volume when the sound is played, as i tried to demonstrate with the pulsing horizontal lamps, in a "sidechain" attempt which cause the "clip" that sound like a kick hopefully. Here is a link to a forum page with the blueprints : https://forums.factorio.com/129359

"Hypsersaw-2" : samples last 2 second or 120 ticks, with a fast attack and then decay/reverb/echo over 2 second, ( Made following online tutorial).

The same link also contain the blueprint for this machine : https://forums.factorio.com/129359

"Choirs" : samples last 2 second or 120 ticks with mostly the sound and a "natural" decay at the end ( see the other picture of a note that's not the G7 showing the 2 side of the stereo)

Now for this one, i'm proud to present you the MiMo Box, it's a machine that sing "MiMo MiMo" like it's a cult of personnality about my favourite DJ. I have seen other weirdo have some room full of pictures, but i don't have room to spare so i had to adapt ! You don't have to join the cult , it's there to demonstrate how the Choir are an absolutely necessary addition to any set of instrument !

The machine is much better it can play "diatonic" or "pentatonic" , others too but it's not shown in the video, i will try to make a post with explanation, but you should just make your own machine, pick a few "ohhh" and you can go "ohhhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh" or "oh ohh ohhhoh ohhh", or even "haaah aaa haaa"

This link https://forums.factorio.com/129359 contain the blueprint and a demo map with the machine ! Still no explanations just the machine for now !
