Re: [oberheim] Matrix 1000 firmware fun

2016-01-04 by John Leimseider

I'm doing a 1000 for my work... I have the 6 at home, my own instrument. Is the new 1000 version the current one on your sight?
I was also wondering if you still have the boards for the Omni Midi, and how much the P5 version 10.6 is... Thanks!

Hello John,

The Matrix 6 already displays values as they are edited over MIDI.
The M1000 does not. The code that I made which adds that feature
is for the Matrix 1000. Is that what you are speaking of?

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
