Solo dev building a pocket instrument

About

I’m a solo developer building cy83rd3ck — a sequencer, synth, arpeggiator, and multitrack recorder that runs in Safari on iPhone, no install needed. The web app is the prototype for a physical instrument: iPhone-sized, Raspberry Pi CM4, 2-octave keys, built for musicians who live on their phone.

What would you want in a pocket music instrument?

cy83rd3ck started as a web app sequencer, synth, arpeggiator, multitrack recorder, all in a browser, free, no install. Now I m designing the hardware: iPhone-sized, Raspberry Pi CM4, 2-octave touch keys, full width of the device.

Try the app now while you wait for launch: https://happyfaceemoji.github.io...

Curious what the community thinks what s missing from current pocket instruments like the OP-1 or OP-Z that you wish existed?
