Today I introduce a new 32 inputs MegaDrum module in a full aluminium case. It is available now for 170GBP plus postage. I will continue to offer the 32 inputs module in an ABS case for a rudeced price of 155GBP plus postage. To order send me an e-mail to dmitri.skachkov@megadrum.info . See images of the new module below and more details in the forum.

The latest MegaDrumManager version is now 20150614.

Thanks to MegaDrum users a few bug were spotted in both MegaDrum firmware and MegaDrum Manager.
I just release new MegaDrum firmware and MegaDrum Manager versions which have those bugs fixed.

I just released a new firmware version which adds support for 'MIDI2 for Sysex Only' (MIDI2ForSysex) on STM32 based MegaDrum. When MIDI2ForSysex is set to Yes the second USB MIDI Port will transmit only SySex messages. Default is No. This is implemented to prevent MIDI softs/synths listening on all MIDI ports from receiving the same Note On/Off messages twice.

This new firmware version is acompanied by a new MegaDrumManager version, 20150110, which adds support for 'MIDI2 For Sysex Only' (in Global settings).

Today I introduced a new MegaDrum kit - MegaDrum Lite kit.

MegaDrum Lite kit differs from the MegaDrum Full/Basic/Minimal kits in a few ways:

1. MegaDrum Lite kit is limited to 24 inputs.
2. Standard MIDI ports are excluded so it can be used only via USB (USB MIDI).
3. Rotary encoders are not supported.
4. The main board is smaller - 50x50mm.
5. Of course it's cheaper.

Please see details in the forum: MegaDrum Lite kit for sale

I just released a new firmware version which adds support for Alterantive Sampling algorithm (AltSamplingAlg setting) on MegaDrum with the latest STM32F205RCT6 MCU. The new algorithm reduces digital noise and may allow to set Thresholds lower and as a result it may improve sensitivity.

This new firmware version is acompanied by a new MegaDrumManager version, 20141203, which adds support for AltSamplingAlg (in Misc settings).

The latest MegaDrumManager version is now 20141009.

In this version I introduced a new feature which I call 'visual sync state' .
With this feature MDM tries to track any changes in MDM and if it notice any difference between settings in MDM and in MegaDrum MDM visually indicates this.

A brief description of what this new feature does:

Today I introduced a new ARM version of MegaDrum based on an STM32F205RCT6 chip. Compared to the older STM32F103RCT6 version, it is running at higher clock frequency - 120MHz vs 72MHz. Faster speed will allow to reduce internal latency a bit more. Modules and kits based on the new ARM chip are available for order at the same price as the older version.

The latest MegaDrumManager version is now 20140914. Jast a few more improvements in the 'Firmware upgrade' procedure. Get the latest MegaDrum Mager from  MegaDrum Manager Download page.
