Balatro is a 2024 poker-themed video game developed by LocalThunk and published by Playstack. A commenter asked me if I could try playing it on the Misa Quadwave - so here's my spin on it!
The touchpad has been configured to control several aspects of the sound. Notice how, as I tap more on the right side of the pad, the sound becomes more distorted. This is actually me controlling the speed of an LFO, and it gets faster as I tap to the right. When I tap on the left, the sound is cleaner.
Also in this video, I utilize the pitch bend feature. By tapping with 4 fingers on the pad, the touchpad behaves like a pitch wheel, allowing me to pitch up or down the sound, like a digital whammy bar.
