Quick thoughts. 1) I plan to code in assembler, because a) the assembler is *FREE* b) the C compiler is $800 c) I have written over 600,000 lines of 8051 assembler code and 0 lines of C code d) I have *already written* 1/5th of the Seq code 1.0 already 2) The assembler code source will be posted to *encourage* hacking. People not hacking the code will be made fun of :) (Hack #1: have your name scroll across the display at power-up). 3) Yes, you can turn it into a a) ADADRSRDDARDR.... EG b) LFO c) MIDI-2-CV d) Sampler (!!?! heee hee) I plan to license the Keil Software (www.keil.com) Rom-based debugger. This is a ~3K program that is in every Seq. It talks to a serial port, and to a W95-based program. This program allows you to a) download the assembled code (Intel HEX format) b) single-step it c) disassemble it d) run to a breakpoint e) dump register & memory contents So, you can find bugs pretty easily *without* a decicated "evaluation board" or "ROM emulator".
