MidiSeq firmware update

MidiSeq firmware 1.16 adds the ‘LoadBack’ AtTheEnd sequence action. This enables contiguously playing a range of adjacent sequences where all sequences but the last one have the AtTheEnd action set to ‘LoadNext’, and the last sequence has it set to ‘LoadBack’.

MidiClock firmware update

MidiClock firmware v1.21 adds a new option Data Size that allows you to select the clock data buffer size from 4 to 96. Smaller data size results in faster readout but lower averaging accuracy. This is useful when you just need to quickly read the BPM or for measuring notes.

MidiSeq firmware update

MidiSeq firmware version 1.15 adds new tools for sequencing, performance, and song building.

  • Sequence Chaining: Use the new Loop Back and At The End pages to chain sequences (Stop, Load Next/Prev) and build full tracks!
  • Step Ratcheting: The new step Ratchet modifier (1x, 2x, or 3x repeats) with dedicated Ratchet Gate control.
  • Auto-Strum: Automatically apply strumming to steps containing chords — just enable AutoStrum.
  • Step Chord Triggering: Use Chord Note to manually trigger sequence chord steps by playing their first note on your MIDI controller.
  • Live Velocity: New Velocity ‘Note’ option lets incoming MIDI note velocity override the recorded step notes velocity for added dynamics.
  • Easy Editing: New Step Pages for quick step notes and modifiers editing.

MidiDisp firmware update

MidiDisp firmware update 1.20 adds a new dispatch mode Recycle, thanks to FlemmingA. It’s similar to the Cyclic mode but the cycle is reset when all notes are released, so the first lone note always goes to the first channel.

New MidiGAL firmware MidiLFO

MidiLFO firmware provides up to 8 versatile MIDI LFOs capable of generating CC, NRPN, After Touch and Pitch Bend MIDI events. The LFOs can be independent or chained one after another providing complex modulation capabilities (essentially an up to 8 stage envelope generator) for any connected MIDI device.

New MidiGAL fimware MidiScale

MidiScale transposes incoming MIDI notes, constraining them to one of the 86 music scales. The output MIDI notes are quantized according to the selected scale and root note.

Transposition occurs on the selected or all MIDI channels. The latter makes MidiScale MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) compatible.

Major MidiALF firmware update

The decade old project is still evolving! The new firmware v2.3 update adds a number of new features all of which are intended to make it easier to create dynamically changing sequences during both studio and live performance. Here are some of the new features:

  • Variable step length – no more boring same length steps!
  • Step jumps – easily control which part of the sequence is being played on the fly
  • Note scale constraints – change notes manually or randomize them on the fly without hitting a wrong note.
  • Alternate step notes – specify up to three alternate step notes which will be played instead of the main step note under selected conditions
  • Locked step notes – exclude certain steps from randomization creating stable notes
  • Most step parameters now have conditions further improving sequence variability

MidiSync firmware update and docs

MidiSync got a firmware update to version 1.12 that adds the following functionality:

  • Start and Stop hold modes are now controlled independently
  • Added ‘hold until the next beat’ option, previously it could hold until next bar only
  • Added Restart action that sends MIDI Stop/Start to restart downstream devices (thanks to PaulS), also optionally delayed until next beat or bar.

Finally, MidiSync firmware got a proper manual.
