MIDIbox SEQ V4.0 Public Beta released

via MIDIBox.org where you'll find more.
"List of major changes:


* uses the new MBHP_CORE_STM32 module (ARM Cortex M3 based derivative)
* firmware completely rewritten in C – it can be optionally emulated under MacOS
* patterns/songs/grooves/configs/etc. now stored on SD Card in a FAT32 filesystem
* USB MIDI natively supported, MIDI events are sent more than 100 times faster to a DAW/virtual synth
* two “common” MIDI IN and MIDI OUT ports, up to 8 additional MIDI OUT ports can be added with MBHP_IIC_MIDI modules
* track length increased to 256 steps
* track memory can be partitioned, e.g. 64 steps and 16 parameter layers, or 256 steps and 4 parameter layers. Each track provides 8 trigger layers
* resolution increased to 384ppqn (16 times faster than common MIDI clock)
* new MIDI event scheduler concept priorises and sorts queued MIDI events
* new parameter layer options like “Pitch Wheel”, “Roll” and “Probability”
* special drum mode for easier editing of percusive patterns
* additional chords (now: 32 in Major/Minor scale)
* new track progression parameters like “Interval/Repeat/Skip”
* groove templates can now be customized and stored on SD Card
* Echo Fx with variable number of repeats, damp, tempo change, note incrementer (can be forced to scale!)
* LFO Fx with different waveforms, synchronized to track clock, step based selection of period and reset, assignable to Note/Velocity/Length + separate CC with definable ppqn resolution
* value range Limiter Fx
* Loop Fx (also nice for editing)
* overworked realtime record function with better quantisation
* hardware configuration file now read from SD Card. No need to recompile the firmware on changes.

A big thank-you goes to NILs for creating the layout of the MBHP_CORE_STM32 module, Bugfight and especially StrydOne and This for MIOS32 beta testing, Seppoman for providing the first STM32 presoldered prototype boards to programmers, SmashTV for providing STM32 presoldered PCBs to users, Wilba for creating the beautiful looking MBSEQ Frontpanel, Marco and Francois for beta-testing the firmware on their MIDIboxes, and to everybody else who gave me helpful proposals and mental support.

Best Regards, Thorsten." Community effort.

Plan B Drummers

YouTube via bigcitymusic http://bigcitymusic.com/
" Plan B offers some alternative modules to your everyday "East Coast" style modules. In this patch we're using a multitude of different modules, including some Cwejman and Analogue Systems. The heart of this patch is the incredible sounding Model 13 Dual Timbral Gate. The M13 is in fact a low pass gate which is basically a cross between a low pass filter and a VCA. This is what gives us the beautiful, drum-like decay to the random pulses. The actual envelope is super short but the vactrols in the circuit ring longer. We're also using some random voltages in here. The Model 24 Heisenberg Generator is basically a sample and hold module, well, two of them really. The bottom section of the M24 allows you to move to the next random voltage when it receives a trigger or gate pulse. The Plan B Model 15 oscillator and the Cwejman VCO-6 are our sounds sources, each having it's frequency modulated at a high rate. This is what gives you the hand slapping sound that a typical hand drum would have. The Plan B Model 17 is also being used to great effect. The Triple Event Timer senses how hight the voltages coming in are. There are three pots to set the threshold, deciding when a pulse is allowed through. We're get more into that later.
