Bliptronome - Monome Conversion
via this auction"Bliptronome (converted Bliptronic 5000), which acts as a fully functional monome with the added bonus of 4 rotary encoders I've added a sweet wood grain veneer to the case to make them really sexy. The device works on the arduino platform.
I've used the devices for about a year now so there's a scratch or two here or there. Nothing serious at all. All buttons and encoders work just fine and have good response time. Comes with FTDI cable for computer funzies as well as original packaging.

Rhodes Chroma CC+ Upgrade Turns Six
CC+ firmware release 215 offers Random Patch Generator, Support for Parameter feedback for ‘knob boxes’ and more.
via David Clarke on the Rhodes Chroma list. If you are interested in the Rhodes Chroma, be sure to check out the excellent http://rhodeschroma.com/
"Happy Birthday to the CC+.
The first CC+ orders were placed in June, 2006. Now five years later, these boards are still being produced and we’re still adding features suggested by CC+ users.
The newly released version of firmware (215) adds the following items:
* Support for transmission of Monophonic (Channel) Pressure via MIDI
* Program 0 SYSEX dump via [Set Split 20]
* Random Patch Generation with [Set Split 38]
* 'MIDI CC Data Request' SYSEX command
As well, operation has been updated such that a Program 0 SYSEX receive will automatically redefine the main and link instruments according to the new program.
Mono Pressure
-------------
[Set Split 36] + P16 (MIDI Pressure Mode) now gives users a choice as to whether they would like to transmit MIDI pressure as Polyphonic/Key pressure messages or Monophonic/Channel Pressure messages.
Setting P16 to "Pol" selects Polyphonic/Key pressure messages.
Setting P16 to "Chnl" selects Monophonic/Channel Pressure messages.
Program 0 SYSEX Dump/Receive
----------------------------
Pressing [Set Split 20] sends the current program over MIDI as a single program 0 SYSEX message.
Sending the 'program 0' SYSEX message back to the Chroma will make that patch the currently sounding one.
Together, these features can be used to allow a user to create a specific patch they like, send it to a sequencer for storage - and then to have the sequencer download just that the patch to the Chroma, so that you can always ensure that a sequence is playing exactly the patch of interest.
Random Patch Generator
----------------------
Pressing [Set Split 38] creates a random patch. A new random patch is created each time that key combination is pressed.
CC Parameter Dump Request
-------------------------
Sending the following SYSEX string to the Chroma will prompt the Chroma to dump all parameters of its current program via MIDI.
F0 08 00 4B 59 00 38 F7
This command is provided to allow parameter feedback for such editors as the BCR2000. Specifically - by programming this string into the 'Data Request' feature of the box, the current parameter state can be echoed back to the encoder rings.
Such a feature could also be used with other editors that support similar functionality.
Further information on these features is available on-line via the CC+ User's Manual (http://www.rhodeschroma.com/?id=cpuplusmanual) and in the CC+'s Firmware page (http://www.rhodeschroma.com/?id=cpuplusfirmware).
Please continue to raise new feature ideas here for discussion - and if there are items that users agree would be good to add, we'll certainly consider adding them.
Thank you for your continued interest.
(NOTE: CC+ units currently being built will ship with firmware version 215 pre-installed)."
