SokkOS, new modified firmware

[Sokkan]

Yeah, i'm retarded, i totally never saw that part =o] I only knew about the stutter aspect. I never thought to do it while the pattern is stopped! Hehe. I got it now =o]

You can do it in edit-mode while it is running too. Everything you can do with it stopped in edit-mode you can do while it is running. Just start it in play-mode, turn the knob to edit and edit away. If you want the step-edit functionality, just press next and edit it step by step.

thanks for the great firmware mods. for some reason i kept accidentally turning swing on when i didn't want it...i guess from flipping back and forth from edit mode and play mode. it got to be too much esp with the stutter stuff, so i just commented it out. i actually wanted to beg someone to do it for me, but it was a lot easier than i thought to install the dev environment. just in case anyone else has the same idiosyncratic tendencies, here is the fw build with no swing.

By the way, any new developments on SokkOS or other firmwares?

Yeah... I'm currently thinking of what to add next...
I could put back the random note thingie, it would eat approximately 70 bytes of the 150 I have available. Any other suggestions? The wish-list in the first post is either boring or impossible without a major refactoring.

Something I've been thinking about...

One thing that caught me off-guard when testing out my x0x for the first time is how the C and C' keys worked. In the standard x0x firmware, these are the 5 octaves of C:

1 C
2 C
2 C'
3 C'
4 C'

I think that a more intuitive arrangement would look like this:

1 C
2 C
3 C
4 C
4 C'

But of course that would mean the C' key would be completely useless except for that one extreme high note. I noticed when programming the 303 in ReBirth that it doesn't enforce an particular scheme for the C keys. For example, C transposed up is the same as C', but it will remember that you transposed C up instead of forcing it to be a C' like x0xb0x does. (I'm assuming that ReBirth is copying the real 303 in this regard since I don't have access to a real 303 to try it out.)

I guess what I'm asking is whether or not changing the x0x's behavior would be beneficial:

1) Make programming the C notes more intuitive
2) make the sequencer act more like a 303, or
3) leave everything how it is?

One feature that I thought might not be terribly difficult to add: When selecting a pattern location, have the LED flash once if the selected pattern is empty.

Yeah, that might actually be quite useful. I would then define "empty" as having an EOP(end of pattern) as its first step. How about the LED instead flashing "E M P T Y" in morse-code instead?

HAHA kør på vettja!

Fellows: there is a new version, 1.8, on its way. It is announced in the first post, but not available just yet for download.

In short: random is temporarily back(there was room for it), hold DONE and press TEMPO to play 8ths instead of 16ths. The latter will work both as being master and slave and it works similar to the loop mode, it is the next pattern loop that will run half/normal speed when selecting/deselecting the mode.

YESSSSS! Half speed bass lines

[Sokkan]

1.8 is up, check the first post.

[phono]

just installed the latest version, the half speed option is really nice, one problem though, if you are in loop-mode you cant go to half tempo mode without dropping out of loop mode (since holding done causes this)

you can go half speed then into loop mode but not the other way around

[phono]

the same applies if you are in half speed mode and then loop mode, if you come out of half speed mode you also come out of loop mode, again due to the fact that you press done i assume.

[Sokkan]

Ah, banned, you're right, I'll see if it's an easy fix...

[Sokkan]

OK, problem fixed(I hope...).

Just download it again, I replaced the old files with the fixed binary and source-pack.

easy way would be to change the half speed to another key combo, perhaps chain+tempo push?

will test in a mo
