Firmware testers sought

2015-09-25 by Bob Grieb

Hello Oberheim fans,

I have been working for quite some time on new firmware versions for
the Matrix 6/6R and Matrix 1000.

The only goal was to speed up parameter changes. My Matrix 1000
code also includes Gligli's V116 detune code, as this seems to be a popular
addition. I also implemented a fix for the NRPN handling that's a little different
from what Gligli did, but should be equivalent. I added a fix for the NRPN inc and
dec functions, as I don't think they would work as originally implemented.

Many parameters update much faster in my code than in the 2.13 Matrix 6
or the 1.13 Matrix 1000. Unlike Gligli's version 116, mine processes all MIDI parm
changes. The speed up is from executing only the code needed to update the parameter,
not from only doing updates every so often. The same technique was used in both the
M6 and the M1000 new code versions.

The M6 code has two new SYSEX enable settings (3 and 4). 3 enables signed
parameter changes, but does not change the parameter values at all, although they
are checked against the valid range for that parm (which the orig code didn't do). Setting
4 allows signed parms as well, but maps them so that a controller putting out 0-127
values will have the neg values at the bottom, zero in the middle, and positive values
at the top. I use this setting with my PC1600X for testing.

Anyway, I am currently looking for people who can get a 27C256 EPROM programmed from a
binary file, and can help me test the new code to make sure there are no bugs.

Please email me if you are interested and can do this. Of course you need one of these
three units and a way to send it MIDI parm updates.

Thanks,

Bob Grieb

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I thought of a few more things people may be curious about:

   My Matrix 6 code includes the deadband code that was added to V2.13a   This code is only 
used if it's running on a Matrix 6.

   My  Matrix 6 code does not support editing the modulation matrix over MIDI.   This is somewhat
complicated, and the EPROM is pretty much full.

   Q: Will your Matrix 1000 code always update faster than V1.16?    

   A: The V1.16 code does not process every update, as my code does, so if you are updating 
  a parameter that my code doesn't speed up, then it would be slower than V1.16, but you would
get all of the updates.  I tried to hit as many parameters as I could, and also some of the parameters
update very quickly, even in the original code, such as the ones that adjust the envelopes.   I didn't 
have to touch those.

I should be able to get and burn an Eprom and could get my Behringer BCR2000 up and running as a controller.
I have a Matrix 6R

Hi Bob and group


I have a programmer and loads of 27C256, and a Matrix 1000, based in London UK.


Can burn at cost for anyone else, if you want multiple betas.


Cheers

To Firmware testers

2015-09-25 by Bob Grieb

Just wanted to mention that there could still be bugs in the code I am sending out.
You don't have to worry about damage to your synth, but it's possible that any patches in 
RAM could be erased if the CPU crashes.    Please make sure your patches are backed up 
before any testing. 

  And thanks for your help.

Re: [oberheim] To Firmware testers

I own both an M-1000 and an M-6R. Would love to test. Can someone recommend a place to buy a programmer?

lots on ebay.   I got mine from MCUmall, in Canada, via ebay.
It was around $80 and works very well.   Needs only a USB cable and will 
program lots of parts with no AC adapter.  It's their GQ-3X model.

I would be happy to provide the beta firmware EPROMs to testers in Germany. As I have ordered a new EPROMMER and it has not arrived yet, it may take until the first week of October until the EPROMs arrive though.

Re: Firmware testers sought

2015-09-26 by jan@...

More on controllers: If you try and use an iPad for testing, using the Patch Touch editor app may lead to inconclusive results, as this app only sends updates once you stop moving a controller. So no instant response to a manual filter sweep here (Apart from that, it is a really nice app worth getting.)

But you can use TB Midi Stuff with my Matrix-6/1000 template - it does send continuous parameter updates.

For Neil - program not seeing binary file

2015-09-26 by Bob Grieb

Lots of programs filter using the file extension 
when you try to open a file.

.bin may not be the extension your program is looking for.

If it has an option to read an EPROM chip, then save it as binary,
do that, then see what extension it uses for that file and rename my 
file to have that extension.

    Bob

Re: [oberheim] For Neil - program not seeing binary file

2015-09-26 by Neil Hester

Thanks Bob, I'll look into it.
It has the option to read/write RAW/Brinary or Hex and i'm selecting RAW/Binary but it doesnt see the file, I'll try a read and see what that saves as.

Firmware EPROM checksums

2015-09-26 by Bob Grieb

My bad.   I should have provided these before.

According to my programmer, the checksums for the two EPROMS are:

M6 2.14   15A0

M1000 1.19     8B4E

Most programming sw computes these the same way and they can be
used to confirm that the file is not corrupted.

Matrix 1000 schematics

2015-10-07 by Bob Grieb

Hello,

    I have re-captured the schematics, since all I could find on the web were many copies
of the same poor scan.  Couldn't read chip numbers, pin numbers, or resistor values.
I did not capture the power supply section.    PDF's on my web site   tauntek.com,
on the Matrix 1000 firmware page.   Let me know if you find any mistakes and I will correct them.

Re: [oberheim] Matrix 1000 schematics

2015-10-07 by Bob Grieb

In the USA, entering a schematic is called "capturing" if you are using a program designed for that
purpose.  If I had the originals, I would have simply scanned them, but I didn't have anything 
usable.   Maybe soon we will have those.

John's scan of Matrix 1K schematics

2015-10-09 by Bob Grieb

Hello, 

    At my web site, tauntek.com there is a Matrix 1K new firmware page.
This page has a link to a .zip archive which contains the schematics that
I captured, plus I have added the new scan provided by John Leimseider.
Please grab the schematics if you need them.   I left mine in there, as 
they are drawn a little differently in some places, so now you have a choice.

Thanks Bob, I got the file. I will burn that eprom this weekend and give you some news.. funny that you haven't got any fdbk at all. Also looked on your site , I can't find the link to the schems under the synthesizer/keyboard info link or am I not looking in the right spot?

Re: [oberheim] Re: Firmware testers sought

Ive installed an eprom with the firmware and had a quick play, Ive noticed parameters are not updating (at least on the display) in a smooth sequential fashion they jump skipping numbers.
Also paramters dont follow exactly waht the controller is feeding them.
This videos shows what i mean using OB6000 software editor.

https://goo.gl/photos/3AQBkAcGNbRrdDQ7A

I dont know if this is one of the things you were trying to address with the new firmware and i have not yet checked it against the version i had (2.13) but thought i'd mention it anyway.

Re: [oberheim] Re: Firmware testers sought

2015-10-09 by Neil Hester

I've installed an eprom with the new OS and had a play,
I'm noticing parameter value jumps rather than smooth counting through values and also the Matrix display not reflecting exactly what the editor/conmtroller software (OB6000) is showing.
I dont know if this is related to your update or not as i have not swapped back the eproms yet to try and reproduce or whether its something you were even looking at with your update.
Heres a video to show what i mean.

I dont really want to go and spend another 100$ right now on another one, but Id really love to get this new firmware into my Matrix 6r...

ok - go tmy Eprom burner up and running and just installed the new os today....

Amazing! Huge difference! I havent found any sluggishness yet, everything is very responsive, and after setting the sysex enable to +2 on the M6r, I was able to send negative values no problem from either my ipad or computer -

One question, is there going to be any way to get modulation parameters up and running on this? Can a larger Eprom be used for more code? Sorry, newbie question Im sure. I have no idea if thats impossible....

Anyways, highly recommended

Hi Tom,

Glad to hear that things are going well with the M6R code testing.   I could look at 
supporting editing the modulation matrix, but currently have no plan to do that.  I have several
other projects that are already in the works plus one last change to the new Matrix 1000 firmware.   
Thanks for the feedback on the testing.

Hi Bob,

I was reading about you engineering a "new" firmware... but I presume I missed the "specs" of it: where may I read more about it? I already own a Matrix-1000 with 1.16 (GliGli) firmware on it, therefore I'd eventually would test/compare your firmware.

Thanks and regards,

Flavio.

Re: Firmware testers sought

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 fdbk

on testing with the editor.

Those are my observations for the moment.

Thanks again
