[4 Midi IN/OUT Ports for SEQV4L (Adding 2 more MIDI I/O)]

I've since moved on to SEQ4 (full, with 4 MIDI ports fitted, of course!). 

 

The idea here is to have separate MIDI Ins and outs to each device (synth) so that it is possible to run a separate patch editor for each synth on PC, using the Router functionality to associate multiple USB Ports with different apps/synths. It works!

 

I've since discovered I don't like the patch editor software that much and am putting together hardware based editors based on MIDIbox NG.

So far this approach is shaping up to be brilliant!

[Signal Integrity for long SRIO chains (MIOS32)]

Maximum number of connected Shift register chips: Actually, looking at the Oscilloscope traces, the period is (7*250ns)~=2us which equals ~500KHz SCLK. If data is one bit per clock cycle then 500 bits per millisecond. (not 1000, as I stated in the conclusion)

This equates to around 50 to 60 shift register chips maximum.

Just attempted to install 0.4.0 on my laptop and found that there was failure at step 4).

Uninstalling then installing 0.2.0 has it working.
