A new release with some nice new features ![]()
From the ChangeLog:
MIDIbox64SEQ V2.3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
o the clock can now be divided by BPM/1,2,3,..15,16 for each track
seperately. Before this change it was BPM/1,2,4,8,16,32,64
It's possible to switch back to the old behaviour with the
DEFAULT_BPM_DIVIDER_BEHAVIOUR switch in main.asm
o the song menu handling has been overworked:
- for 2*2x40 LCD option, there is now an additional info screen
at the right side (second display)
- song mode can be enabled/disabled in song menu by pressing
the SONG button (again)
- if not in song mode, the pattern set will be changed
immediately (see usecases below for the reason)
- song position now named A1..P8 instead of 1..128 for easier
orientation
- song positions are now divided into parts A..P, each part
consists of 8 pattern sets, each pattern set can be looped
up to 16 times.
- song number, song position, loop/jumps now controllable with
the general purpose buttons
Usecases of the new song handling:
a) for song mode enter the song menu and press the button twice.
Press the "A" button + one of the 16 GP buttons to select the song
Press the "B" button + one of the 16 GP buttons to select the part
-> the sequencer will change to the part immediately, if the
sequencer was not running before, it will be started automatically
b) this allows you to divide a song into multiple parts. At the
end of a part, you can either set a jump to the first step
of the part (so that the part loops), or you can set a jump
to the next part.
Note: if a song part consists of 8 song positions, it is not possible
to set an additional jump. The sequencer will jump to the next
part automatically (this ensures compatibility)
c) it's always possible to change the part during the sequencer
is running - it won't affect the realtime behaviour :)
This allows you to change between breaks/fills/chorus or
whatever during a live session
d) If you don't want to use the song mode, the new handling is
still useful for you - it allows to save up to 128 pattern sets
within a song.
Press the "A" button + one of the 16 GP buttons to select the song
Press the "B" button + one of the 16 GP buttons to select the part
(this already provides a quick access to 16 pattern sets)
Turn the datawheel to select pos 1..8 within a part
Similar to song mode, changes will take place immediately
without affecting the sequencer timings. The selected pattern set
will loop endless until you are changing to a new one
