This is a placeholder list for the MIDI-CV/ESP-32 module alternate firmware requests and links to firmware projects. I’ll update the list from comments below to keep it summarized.
–Available Firmware–
–Requests–
There is esp32 tuner separate project for vco tuning: GitHub - microrack/esp-tuner
it provides CV signal from output A and measures frequency on input 1
I’ve had an idea to connect a keyboard to the dev module and turn into a standalone sequencer. The obvious problem I’ve run into was the lack of native usb. It will probably work if I use a ps2 keyboard and connect it to the digital input pins. But it turns it into a more complicated project than I imagined first
Yep, unfortunately cp2102 is just a simple serial chip.
We will plan to make next esp32 module based on esp32-s3 with full usb stack available.
List updated. I figure this way we can keep track since I know people are going to get wacky with it down the line and they might not all be hosted in the microrack github.
Experimental BLE MIDI
List updated.
I didn’t know what BLE MIDI was but now I do and I have an Odd ball, and I find that is a BLE MIDI device so now I want to control my microrack from the Odd ball.
I’m assuming first steps will be to flash the midi module with your new code… I’ll be in GitHub and wrestling with settings for a bit
I’m planning to check the BLE MIDI code within the next couple of days and prepare a firmware release, so you’ll be able to update your firmware using our website tool.
For your setup (with an external controller), it might be necessary to add a pairing screen — I’ll check that as well.
By the way, I’ve looked into Oddball, and it’s a really interesting and unusual device!
Do you guys know some good web-based sequencer to play with BLE midi?
I’ve tried it with strudel.cc, worked fine
I legitimately had no idea that Strudel has midi connectivity! That’s awesome!
I did use strudel as a sequencer for one of my live performance and happy to know it has BLE midi
