Clock divider mode for grids
Well, sometimes naming traditions develop. In the old days, every unix server anywhere was named after a character from Lord of the Rings. Canonical name each release of their Ubuntu linux distro after an animal with an alliterative adjectival qual…

Clock divider mode for grids
Nice! I’ll test this out tomorrow. May I suggest that you name your alt firmware for Grids after one of the games in the Peter Greenaway film Drowning by Numbers? The following names are still available: Dawn Card Castles Flights of Fancy …

ADC filtering code
Hmmm, yes, although in some use-cases, having some time-dependent hysteresis in the smoothed ADC value may be helpful, particularly where there might be noise in the input signal, not just noise from the ADC itself. When a pot is turned, there can …

Another alternative firmware for Clouds: Kammerl Beat-Repeat Effect
@t2k yes, sorry, I erred. I should have said “that a benefit of open-source code is lost when it becomes closed-source” – and that’s the benefit identified by @Varthdader above. I don’t feel any righteous indignation. I was irritated by the initi…

Another alternative firmware for Clouds: Kammerl Beat-Repeat Effect
I think this is the first example of proprietary, closed-source alternative firmware for a Mutable module. Of course, releasing closed-source proprietary derivatives of the original firmware is permitted under the MIT license under which the Mutabl…

Braids calibration issue - timbre range truncated on certain algorithms
Two new models? Ah yes, square wave suboscillators for the square and saw models – nice! And not necessarily in phase with the main oscillator, I think (I don’t recall the sync details off the top of my head).

Braids calibration issue - timbre range truncated on certain algorithms
OK, thanks. Oh, I’ve just realised that it would be possible to make the timbre and colour inputs scale to approximately 1V/oct, with semitone quantisation. We have two apps in Oranament & Crime that output triadic chords, and are working on a …

Braids calibration issue - timbre range truncated on certain algorithms
Has the Braids v1.9 source been pushed to the public GitHub repo? I’m (finally) about to extract the digit and finish upgrading BiiT, and working with the latest released code base is obviously desirable.

Mutable @ Superbooth17 ??
Disappointing that the Mutable booth isn’t right next to the Macbeth booth… Just BTW, there’ll be at least one Ornament & Crime module at Superbooth 2017, at the Oscillosaurus booth (in some corner on another floor), and I’m sure Gareth from …

The Anadigm chips that the Paradigm uses look interesting. I wonder if there is any prospect for a programmable analogue filter eurorack module based on one or more of these?

Dead Man's Catch modified firmware for Peaks
Not yet complete, and not much will be added. But I will fold in the Peaks V3 calibration code into DMC as soon as I am back from holidays, now that I am aware that it exists. O&C is a much more interesting platform to work on. As always GitHub…

Trimpots versus software calibration of Peaks
OK, thanks. I’ll endeavour to update DMC with calibration support ASAP, and in the meantime I’ll replicate the calibration instructions on the DMC page for anyone with a v3 Peaks who want s to revert to the factory firmware. Yeah, there seems to …

Peaks Crashing in Drum Mode
In DMC, I ended up having to run the randomised hi-hats at half the sample rate, to prevent crashes. The original hi-hats are still there, at full sample rate.

Frames - Quadrature LFO mode's input question
No, the inputs on Frames are routed through VCAs to the outputs, they can’t be used as CVs to control parameters. That’s the hardware architecture, and isn’t something that can be changed through firmware. The open-source Ornament & Crime mod…
