That'll be the next phase.
Once I've got the production P3 out of the way, I'll be looking at the ARM
microcontroller development board I bought a few months ago, but haven't had
time to play with...
It has 256k flash, and the assembler is far more efficient than the mcs51,
so it can take a lot more code.
My original plan was to use the ARM CPU for P4, basing it on the P3 design,
but adding more tracks, more memory, rotary encoders, more outputs, compact
flash storage etc.
But it could take me a while to get to grips with a new CPU, and a totally
new UI design would be a lot to take on at the same time, so I decided to do
P3.5 first.
P3.5 would be externally identical to P3, but with a different main board
based on the ARM CPU.
For those P3 users who still want more power, there would be a relatively
inexpensive upgrade path.
I can't promise any timescales for the appearance of P3.5 though. I've got
some significant changes approaching in life, and I don't know how things
are going to pan out. Ideally, I'll get the first run of production P3s
done, they'll sell like hot cakes, and I'll be able to give up my day job to
work on sequencer design. We'll see...

Cheers,
Colin f
