You'll find a copy of the draft operation manual for the sequencer in the files section. Specifications are subject to change... But this should give those of you soon to build one of these an idea how it works. Feel free to point out any lapses into incomprehensible techno- babb

I've uploaded a file describing the sysex format for firmware updates to the web page. http://www.colinfraser.com/p3/P3-SysExFlash.txt The update can be done just as a raw sysex file, as long as there is enough delay between blocks. I've been using Midi-OX successfully for this.

Hi all, Well, I'd have to admit to liking the arrangment of the rack panel layout (and the Square buttons), but wanting to put it into a desktop style enclosure. Most likely, I'd go for the rackmount panel and simply build my own wooden box to accommodate it. One thing I don't pa
