The prototype uses processors that are difficult to update code over MIDI. Also,
after the '650,
I am 'retiring' work on using 8-bit processors and moving to 32-bit ARM
processors. The cost has
dropped over the last 3 years so that a 32-bit processor, running at 60Mhz with
128K of Flash is <$6.
The processors have 8 times the internal RAM memory (used for storage of flags,
parameters, etc)
of 8051 type processors which makes the code ∗much easier∗ to write.
What I plan to do is redesign ∗just∗ the CPU card in the sequencer and have the
code rewritten.
I already have front panel and the pc board with the 2 rows of switches (and
these switches are REALLY
nice but $$$$). I even have the displays, high $$$ Grayhill optical encoder,
custom knobs, and bezels. I will have
the CPU card ready June 1st to give to the SW folks.
If anyone wants to investigate the CPU I'm using, here is a link:
