What the Little Chicco can do
It's a very simple device capable of some nice 8-bit style sounds! You can choose which tune you would like with the small red button, and then either play through the tune one note at a time with any of the big buttons, or use the small green button to play through the tune you have chosen. The pitch dial takes the pitch to clicky bleeps and down to bassy lows. The 8-bit switch will make all notes go up in a strange arpeggio style. It sounds like an old computer game sound effect! The body contacts are intended to be used one at a time, just pressing one with your finger or thumb. The right one will just change the pitch up, so you can modulate the sound and get some vibrato. The left one will vary depending on where th pitch is and if you have the 8-bit switch on, but it can crush and distort the sound, especially at low pitches! The Little chicco is great for making little blips and squeals, could be used well as a dub siren with some external effects like delay or reverb! Just watch the video to see what it does!
