Today’s progress was less exciting because there’s just not all that much left to do until the shipment of parts that I ordered arrived.
Features finished today:
- Replace button to change between internal/external with switch
- Add Run/Stop switch to internal mode
- Add MIDI Thru
Still to do:
- Make it run from synthesizers.com power rails
- Build solid module rather than flimsy wires in micro breadboard
I ran into some wonky coding issues with my transition from button to switches, even though the new version was far simpler. They mostly turned out to be typos and misplaced brackets, but they took a surprising amount of time and frustration to track down.
The only thing that I’m at all unhappy about is that it takes a while to switch between modes because of the process I have it go through to do so. Also, I still only have it recognizing the MIDI beat code. I could try to see if I could have it recognize a stop and reset the sequencers to their starting position. It would take a while to do it, so if you rapidly hit stop then start again in your sequencer, the timing would be off. I’m not sure if I’ll just leave it as is or not. You can always reset it by flipping between modes and back, but that’s both time consuming and tedious. Maybe making it recognize the stop command will be on the agenda after all. Hrm.
