Subject: Two steps forward

Well, everything was coming along very nicely. The sequencer now
generates MIDI time code as well as start and stop MIDI commands. The
joystick is working in its original mode and I found a couple of bugs
to clean up and generally everything is coming along exactly as it
should - right?

Wrong!

My joystick code has thrown a spanner into the sequencer works. And
now it plays its sequence the way a drunk walks home. The MIDI time
code comes out looking like a yo-yo doing around the world in eighty
days - badly. Notes also play like the humanize function has been set
to somewhere way past maximum.

On testing I found that the joystick analog to digital converter code
needs to be optimized by converting it from a linear tracker into a
successive approximator. Hopefully, I'll be able to do that this weekend.

Anyway, that's it for now.

Mike.
