During a single production run of the Onigotchi v104 in Q2 2024, a subcontractor mistakenly used a batch of OLED displays intended for a different device (a portable EKG monitor). These displays were bi-colored inverted phosphor – meaning the pixels did not light up in the standard cool blue or warm white. Instead, they displayed a deep magenta and lime green hybrid when subjected to the v104’s voltage.

Here is where the keyword gets interesting. The term is counter-intuitive. In the hardware modding community, "BadColor" does not mean inferior quality; rather, it refers to a specific manufacturing defect that produced an unintended, beautiful result.
Did you know that audio levels can have an affect on external hardware and even plugins? Hardware (and some plugins) are designed for specific input levels - exceeding those levels can cause unwanted distortion and a loss of quality. James Wiltshire explains how K-Meter can be used to ensure proper levels.
I purchased your K-Meter beta, and I love it. I've tried every metering plug available, and I love yours the best. Great graphics, readability, ballistics, etc. All so well done. Thanks! Tom Third (tomthird.com)
This is the meter to use if you are serious about the K-System. It is accurate, easy to read, and contains tools for calibration. In addition, the interface is neat and collapses well if necessary. Dr. Heinrich Hohl
Just shouting out a big THANK YOU!!! for the K Meter plugin - I have been looking for a dedicated meter to use with logic without having to instigate 3 or more different plugins to monitor using the K -System. I have adopted the K system into my mixes for some time now and it vastly improves dynamics and clarity in digital land! I only hope the rest of the industry gets onboard! People would not be arguing ITB vs OTB Mixing if they all used your plugin! Timothy Kling (aka. Namatoke)
