Mike, You read that correctly. In this program, the start and stop buttons do nothing. Once you load that program it stays loaded until you load another program. When you power up your synth, it is a four channel chromatic quantizer. Remember, all this code can be used as buildin

OK, so the way I read the code the program does this: * get signal from the 4 input pins * scale, then quantize the signals * stage the signals to the output * pulse the dac to send the signal * go back and do it again infinitely (goto start) So my question is, how do you stop th

Here are a few ideas I've had for the PSIM: 1. Quad quantizer with different notes/scales for each voice 2. Quad "Source of Uncertainty." Use the inputs to control the rate of change and/or the transition to new voltages: stepped, log, linear, exponential. 3. Multiple rhythm gene
