Re: [oberheim] Matrix 1000 firmware fun

2016-01-04 by John Leimseider

Your version works fine for me, except for not showing the values as it changes. If it would do all the matrix parameters also, it would be perfect, but I know that's essentially impossible if you also want speed. I would like the version with the display updating if you want to distribute it.
Thanks for all the hard work that's going into this. It really makes the M6 work so much better!

Rev 1.16 eliminates the CPU stalling if you hit it with a barrage
of MIDI parmeter updates. It actually does that better than my code, but
it does it by discarding the slow parameter updates while they are coming in
at a rate faster than the CPU can handle. My code does not discard
any parameter updates, but processes a number of them faster.
So if you are judging how well it all works by whether the CPU stalls,
then V1.16 should win. If you are judging it based on how fast you can
update certain parameters over MIDI, then my code should win.

BTW, I have a new version that displays the value for a parameter as
it's being updated. Send me an email using the contact info on my web site
if you are interested. tauntek.com<http://tauntek.com>

Hi Bob, sorry for the long delay. Finally got to test
rev1.19. I used an edirol controller, kenton
control freak SE and M1000 rev1.19.
I tested VCF Freq, VCF Resonance, LFO 1 &
LFO2 and all 3 ENV's (ADSR)I did not notice
any delay or lagging in parameter updating on my Kenton and
the sound is pretty smooth.I think its a good
thing.
I also tested rev1.16 with exactly the same setup
as above and I did not detect any differences or lagging
between either rev's.  I'm not sure I should
notice a difference with my hardware setup but I'm sure
I would if I'd pop rev1.13 in there.
I will try to test and compare the two rev's
with Midiquest soon as possible and give you more
fdbkon testing with the editor.Those
are my observations for the moment.
Thanks again
