Not in this case. I designed the hardware only. The SW issues have not
hampered the
development of ∗anything∗.

I'm sure that when Jeffrey is able he will fix the issues. There is a LOT
going on inside that little 8051,
memory is at a premium and this is why new MOTM uPs are all 32-bit ARMs with
16X the speed and
memory capacity of the '650 uP.

The firmware can be upgraded over MIDI using the WinXP utility so when the
fix is available it's a quick
process. Those of you with Macs have a friend with a PC :)

Yes, there are known bug. But then again, Robert Rich has made 5 new CDs and
been on 3 live tours with
the V1.3 SW so it's not like it's totally unusable.
