Firmware V1.28 Test Version

[XORadmin]

I'm having lots of fun with 1.28 so far. It's a huuuuuuuge leap forward for how usable NerdSeq is with the rest of my rack.

I'd like to see more MIDI options in the mapping screen - for example gates (note on/off) and pitch bend. I often use MIDI to send gates, and pitch bend would allow some interesting things with MPE controllers.

In the interim I've been using the four CV inputs to receive triggers/gates... but I've noticed that the CV inputs have between 1-3ms of jitter when mapping them to trigger outputs. That's fine for most CV but quite a bit for gates & triggers (there's also ~1ms latency which is expected). The issue compounds with the 1.28 mapping screen: converting gates at the CV input to MIDI CC seems to add a little bit of jitter, and MIDI receivers tend to prioritize gates over MIDI CC data, so even more jitter is added on the other end of the chain.

All that to say: if note on/off (& pitchbend!) were available on the mapping screen it would make the most of the limitations of MIDI.

This firmware is really a big leap for the NerdSeq. I'm having so much fun playing with it. Thanks for letting us use it before it's 100% ready!!

Notes as gates should be possible though. But as I see it now it would be either only one defined note or a note in general. That should do the job, right? Also the note value and the velocity value could be a nice source.

There is by design a jitter of 1-2ms since the processing is each millisecond while the readout of the CV inputs (which is multiplexed) runs also around that speed (totally fine for recording etc). But indeed added up it might create a little jitter of 1-3 ms (hehe still much better than your USB Midi interface ;-)  ).
So nothing I can change about that.
