Taiga Keyboard firmware 1.1 is now available for download at https://pittsburghmodular.com/taiga.

Firmware Version 1.1 Changelog:
• USB MIDI Added
• Corrected USB device name to "Taiga_Keyboard"
• Added some slight slew limiting to Aftertouch control to make it more expressively usable/
eliminate some signal noise.
• Rescaled keybed velocity to make use of the full output range.
• Fixed the pitch bend wheel so that it only sends Midi data when outside the center pitch,
and also it always returns to zero.
• Pitchbend in Paraphonic Mode Fixed
• Fixed MIDI clock subdivision; was previously not subdividing the MIDI clock.
• Added random wave mode to the oscillators
• Added random filter mode to the filter section
• Edit button now adds an arp note when running the arpeggiator in hold mode.
• Clock properly handles MIDI clock microstepping so that the ARP will deterministically
trigger on midi pulse 0 (out of 6) after receiving a MIDI clock start command.
• MIDI mod-wheel CC command is scaled to the value of the mod controller output rather
than just outputting the position of the mod wheel, giving access to the mod controller functionality to outboard midi gear when using taiga keys as a midi controller.
• Rewrote the mod wheel functionality to make full use of all 13 scalings for each mod mode, and added more behaviors to the mod modes that are selected with the octave buttons:
• 0-5v Mode
• Added 4 Sub-Modes
• 0-5-0v center low, edges high
• 5-0-5v center high, edges low
• 5-0v Inverted
• 0-5v
• LFO Mode
• Increased the range of the LFO, and fixed the phase relationship, also made the
LFO update after changing rate rather than after finishing a full cycle to make it more responsive at low frequencies. Also, added 4 Sub-Modes
• Sine Wave
• Triangle Wave
• Saw Wave
• Square Wave with PWM control rather than gain control
• Envelope Mode
• Fixed envelope length so that the mod mode value changes the length of the
envelope, rescaled the envelope lengths for all 13 values. Also, added 4 Sub- Modes
• Percussive Envelope
• Swell-y Triangle Envelope
• Reversed Percussion Envelope
• Sustain-y Envelope
• Random Mode
• Increased the number of different randomness timings, and increased the range of
these timings, and made them be more useful values that scale the randomness in a more naturally musical way. Also, added 4 Sub-Modes
• Soft Random Expression Generator
• Triangular Random Expression Generator
• Sawed Random Expression Generator
• Sample and Hold Generator
