Analogue-sequencer

just curios

is it possible to have a higher resolution (e.g 96ppq) on the p3
or would it mean a whole reprogramming?
I ask this, because sometimes I wished the delay could be set in finer
steps

thanks

thanks for your answer Colin,
If I understood you correctly, this is mainly a hardware problem.

This is something that is restricted by internal value lengths.
At 48 ppqn, a single step in tbase 1 has a length of 192 ticks.
If I went to 96 ppqn, that step would have a length of 384 ticks.
That wouldn't fit into a byte value - it would need an integer.
That's not technically difficult to do - but the extra code size would push
the firmware image well beyond the maximum size of the ROM.
So it would be a trade-off between resolution, and minimum tbase setting.
Plus it would also take a bit more effort to clock multiply incoming MIDI
clock by 4 rather than 2.
