TK. Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 MIDIbox FM V1.2 has been released! It supports the PIC18F4685 -> more memory, more features, more fun! :) You will get some nice looking waveform icons and an integrated random patch generator! :frantics: You can simply replace the PIC18F452 by a PIC18F4685 w/o changing the remaining hardware. Later the CAN interface for MBNET communications could be supported (but I'm still unsure if it's really worth the effort). As long as it isn't enabled, data to the MBHP_OPL3 module will be output to the complete J15 port by the setup_pic18f4685_mbfm_v1.hex variant so that there is no need for changing the connections. The setup_pic18f4685_sammich_fm.hex variant is already prepared for the MBNET option (again: it's unclear yet if it will be ever supported), D2 and D3 are output by the RE1 and RE2 pins, so that RB2 and RB3 pins are free for the CAN interface. The update is also relevant for PIC18F452 users: you will get the possibility to trigger notes from the CS, the Instrument LEDs will flicker on incoming notes, and there is a bugfix for finetune. From the ChangeLog: MIDIboxFM V1.2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o The firmware now supports the PIC18F4685. The additional memory is used for new features: - Nils added some nice looking special characters for LFO, OSC waveforms and operator connections - Wilba added some special CS handling code for sammichFM - TK added a random patch generator (-> RND page at the end of the menu) o Instrument LEDs are flashing now whenever a gate of an assigned oscillator is triggered o added possibility to play a note from the CS: press CFG + Instrument Key 1/2/3/4 to trigger a note o bugfix for finetune in upper range [/code] Have Fun!
