History of MegaDrum firmware versions

[dmitri]

Dmitri hi,

+ Because the ATmega32 seems to becoming more expensive than the ATmega324p, can you build a 16MHz version of the next firmware for the ATmega324p please?

It's better to use a 20MHz crystal in this case.

+ If you were to use different mCUs on the same board (same speed xtal and number of inputs) do you just need to consider the memory sizes and some port #defines for different builds?

This is how it is done.

You do a 644 at 16MHz it's cheaper to fry 324s though.

It's better to use a 20MHz crystal in this case.

A faster crystal speed is bound to reduce latency 'cos things get done more quickly - does this imply an increase in resolution (accuracy) too - with faster conversions?

For what is the new Levels Reverse option? has it something to do with the type of hihat hardware you use? is it dependant of any other parameter as Pedal Type?

I ask this because I won't like to add another box in the GUI and rearrange it again. If this new option is related to other, then nice, if not, well, I will rearrange the GUI

It is to reverse voltage levels read from the HiHat controller. See http://www.megadrum.info/forums/viewtop ... 8&start=30

Dmitri Firmware update was succesfully with midiox. and new feautures on HIhat pedal are great. Now i must find the better samples in superior 2 to have the better real feelings with my hats

Ey dmitri, after testing the choke with MCT, i realized that aftertouch messages are also sent for inputs whose note number is 0 (=disabled). For example, for a piezo/switch 2-zone cymbal, i receive 3 aftertouch messages. The last one is for the 3rd zone but as it is disabled it should not send it.

Don't know what is quicker for the performance of MD, if building and sending the extra aftertouch messages or checking if it needs to send them because its related note is not zero. As you find it better.

I've now corrected it in the latest firmware.

HihatPedal
'Chick' and 'Splsh' has traded place in the MD menu.
'Chick' used to before 'Splsh'. I only think it's a label issue, since assigning chick-sample to the first menu item (Splsh) and assigning splash-samples to the next menu item (Chick) works as it should. I hope I make sense lol.

You're right. I'll correct it in the next version.

dmitri, please, upload last firmwares to the auto-download site for MCT. I know firmware updating through MCT only works for old bootloaders, but at least for those users it would be nice to have the "check for updates" feature working
