For those of you who don't know, I had to stop making GRAINS projects because I had to finish a very large and unusual sequencer (in Java, not for GRAINS) and write some papers. But in my spare time I put together some projects, but have not finished them: most are fully written and compiled but not yet debugged. I don't have time to debug and test them, but hope to sometime soon. There's quite a queue at this point. In the meantime, if anyone would like to take a shot at getting them running, send me email (sean@cs.gmu.edu).
- 808BEATS. This is a combination of 808 and Beats: a full drum machine. Status: in the "cobbled some code together" phase.
- ADSR-L. A linear time-based envelope generator (as opposed to the more common exponential rate-based generator in ADSR). Status: in the "cobbled some code together" phase.
- ARIA. A monophonic note sequencer with song mode. You program the sequencer in code and it's stored in Flash RAM. Patterns may be up to 1024 notes long and there may be up to 126 of them, at least until memory fills up (about 24,000 notes total). You can have ties, rests, legato, stocatto, etc. Status: written, compiles, not tested yet.
- CASSETTE. A real-time monophonic note-recorder and player. Data is loaded into RAM and stored in GRAINS's little EEPROM. Can store 340 notes of various lengths, pitches, and timestamp onsets. Interface may be too fiddly. Status: written, compiles, not tested yet.
CHRONO. A tappable tempo clock which provides triggers. Status: written, compiles, not tested yet.Finished.MULTIPLEX. A 1 or 2-in 4-out digital multiplexer with four different modes. Status: written, compiles, not tested yet.Finished.- PLUCK-M. A MIDI-controlled version of PLUCK which provides good pitch tuning, unlike PLUCK! Status: written, compiles, tested but not adequately.
TANGLE A combined digital logic generator, logic merger, inverter, and buffered mult. Status: written, compiles, not tested yet.Finished.TARDY. A short delay for digital signals. Status: written, compiles, not tested yet.Finished.- [PLANNED] MIDI VERSIONS. I'm thinking of making MIDI versions of more GRAINS projects, including LFO, droplets, evolution, booker, chordal, voice, cassette, etc.
- [PLANNED] MIDI TOOLS FOR GRAINS V2. If and when V2 comes out, it will likely have Serial RX and TX exposed, which will enable a lot of MIDI output tools. But I can't do them yet until it's out of course.
- [PLANNED] REVISED TOOLS FOR GRAINS V2. If and when V2 comes out, it will likely have a few buttons and LEDS exposed, which will make it possible to do things like menus and so pack several tools into a single project so you don't have to download them when you need them, you just select it with a button.
