257- <p >Infinite Digits would like to clarify the attributions of the interface layout of the Ectocore:
258- The interface was designed throughout a collaboration between Toadstool Tech and Infinite
259- Digits, combining of Toadstool Tech’s mythical inspiration (“Grimoire”) and Infinite Digits
260- interfaces from previous monome norns scripts written by Infinite Digits (e.g.
261- <a href =" https://github.com/schollz/amenbreak " target =" _blank " >amenbreak script</a > for singular
262- “amen” and
263- “break” knobs,
264- <a href =" https://github.com/schollz/makebreakbeat " target =" _blank " >makebreakbeat script</a > for

267- <a href =" https://github.com/schollz/dnb.lua " target =" _blank " >dnb.lua utility</a > for “tunneling”
268- and jumping)
269- and inspiration from devices previously created by Infinite Digits (
270- <a href =" https://github.com/schollz/pikocore " target =" _blank " >pikocore</a > and
271- <a href =" https://github.com/schollz/nyblcore " target =" _blank " >nyblcore</a >). Infinite Digits
272- also acknowledges
273- that the norns scripts developed by Infinite Digits that inspired the Ectocore and EZEPTOCORE
274- panel design were born out of ideas from many other people, built in a community of open-source
275- creations, with special thanks to scanner_darkly (who came up with the single “amen” and “break”
276- knob idea) and Nick Collins (who created the inspirational Breakcore UGen from SuperColldier).

278- <p >The “Infinite Digits x Maneco Labs EZEPTOCORE” front panel is inspired by the design from
279- Toadstool Tech+Infinite Digits, and incoroprates changes by ML to add a reset button to the
280- front.</p >
281- <p >Infinite Digits also wants to acknowledge the countless community members of the open-source
282- world (Supercollider, monome norns, Raspberry Pi, Adafruit, many many more) who I have been
283- inspired from and continue to be inspired, and from their work I am grateful and continue to try
284- to pay forward by continuously making my work similarly freely open-source and available. (One
285- note on that: The final hardware design from Toadstool Tech and ML are NOT open-source as they
286- are proprietary designs of their own work, each created separately based on my open-source
287- <a href =" https://zeptocore.com " target =" _blank " >zeptocore</a > device).
