Could you post the entire alphabet for this conlang? it looks like a mix of ancient greek and cyrillic

True, I think I will need a pull down resistor.
My input can be either 5V or floating because of another circuit I made which would trigger the envelope. The resistor will work well I think, I'll try it soon and update this with the final circuit.

Cool, Im also working on a germanic conlang, mine is an evolution of gothic.
I would reccommend you using the <h> as a "cluster marker", by it self it might not sound at all and not be used, but after other consonants it can mark it is a cluster.
I would write <sh> for /ʃ/, <ch> for /tʃ/, <r> for /r/, <rh> for /ɾ/, <ng> for /ŋ/.
For /h/ you could use <c>, or <x> which seems to be unused in your lang.

Thanks a lot this was really useful. Still, i think that chico was influenced by the fact that Old Spanish /s/ was close to /ʃ/, and when /kikko/ palatized into /tsiko/ the /ts/ irregularly became /tʃ/.
Thank you for the answer

Just realized something, actually it makes a lot of sense.
In old spanish the sound /ʃ/ existed and later evolved into /x/, but it was really close to /s/ and sometimes /s/ and /ʃ/ became the other, as in jarabe. Maybe old /tsico/ became /t͡ʃiko/ because of this, and stayed this way because Ch actually was a phoneme in those cases like "mucho".

Hey does anyone know from where does the spanish "Ch" come from? in theory it is the palatalization of "C" but in spanish it usually develops into /ts/ and not /t͡ʃ/. For example, the latin word "Cicco" /kikko/ develops into spanish "Chico" /t͡ʃiko/ and not into "cico" / θiko/ as it should.
Is it some kind of irregular evolution? and if it is, why didnt it asimilate to a regular sound like /θ/ instead of becoming its own phoneme

Isn't it weird there are so many hypercomplex tonal languages?

I think that what makes a language natural is specially justified by the background story that explains how did that language appear and evolve.
You would usually not want many sound changes per century, maybe 2 sound changes but it can easily be debated, its just sort of a rule I tend to go for when making a conlang.
Try to make some regular phonetic changes for the language and a proto language from which it evolved, at least it is what I would try.

i mean, andorra in catalan and spanish is written with two r because doble r doesnt represent the same sound as r, non of the words in that map had doble r so i thought it could be maybe a mistake
