steve cooleyBusy week for #synthseqr! Per step pitch drift, gave the user options for how the sliders feel, gave the user options for what the up and down buttons do by default, *chord modes* for d-pad and sliders, improved ui for telling the user which slider mode is active, and then letting users program steps by playing notes or chords with an external keyboard.
I should set up for something similar for #synthseqr, I did it for #beatseqr ... omg, 16 years ago, lol! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naNIbnD1Y4U

while working on #synthseqr, the #LCD was acting up. I had to sort of dis-assemble the LCD from the motherboard. It was taped together, extremely forcefully. Regarding the heat-set inserts, well, we'll see how good my aim was. The pace of development is crazy. I'm pretty sure I want to flood the #synthseqr logo with something. Probably acrylic paint. Acrylic media. something to aid flow, while maintaining the opaque darkness. I just bought some applicator bottles #mybrain #allthetime #omg
#synthseqr #3dprinting temporarily pausing on 2 color printing until I can get the final fit done on internal components. I had a couple of extruder issues. Anyway, final assembly parts are arriving tomorrow. #synth #sequencer
Linux box is rendering long form videos of last week’s #openmic performers, #3dprinter is printing a 2 color top plate for #synthseqr, gonna head back to microcenter while that’s all going on.
I’ve been working on revitalizing my two products that I design and build. I had a long break from them, but now they can take midi clock in, and with midi routing, they can both be played at the same time. One is for drum machine style patterns and the other is for melodic patterns like synth leads or bass lines. Super fun! #beatseqr #synthseqr #synth #drummachine
just solved the most infuriating and bewildering physical button problem on #synthseqr YES, ARRRGH my sanity is restored! just waiting another 3 hours for the case lid to finish #3dprinting, then I can shoot some video. #sequencer #arduino #adafruit #midi
