Tone+FX 3.5r — OS 1.44 support, two page trees, UI pass

An eleven-page master FX suite — RING · FOLD · TILT · CRUSH · PITCH ·
STEREO · PERFORM · WASH · RADIO · DESTROY · SPACE — plus the output meter and
the animated TONE+FX boot splash. One release now covers four OS files on two
hosts: the Digitone mk1 / Digitone Keys (OS 1.43, 1.44) and, through a
community port, the Digitakt mk1 (OS 1.53, 1.54).

Install

Each file is the whole suite for one device + OS; none includes the core.

file device OS required core
tonefx-3.5r.elemod Digitone mk1 / Keys 1.43 core-dn1-4.0.elemod
tonefx-3.5r-os1.44.elemod Digitone mk1 / Keys 1.44 core-dn1-4.0-os1.44.elemod
tonefx-3.5r-dt.elemod Digitakt mk1 1.53 core-4.0.elemod
tonefx-3.5r-dt-os1.54.elemod Digitakt mk1 1.54 core-4.0-os1.54.elemod

The Digitakt variants are gdeo607's port (source and details in
digi1_mods, mirrored here under
DIGITAKT PORT/); special thanks to gdeo607, who did
most of the work on the Digitakt port.

New in 3.5r

  • OS 1.44 support (Digitone). The firmware addresses are #ifndef *_ADDR
    defaults (1.43) that the ports.1.44 entry overrides through cflags/defsym;
    it carries the eleven 1.44 patch sites. 1.44 is hardware-verified (digiemu
    cannot settle OS 1.44, so it is not emulator-tested).
  • Digitakt mk1 port (community, by gdeo607): the same 3.5r suite for
    OS 1.53 and 1.54 (ports.1.54), eleven pages incl. the macros; only the
    render path, page model, keys, CC map and store differ per device.
  • Moved to elekloader 0.5.0 + core 4.0 (the mods' RAM base is now
    0x43EC0000, 1.25 MB). imports nothing on all four builds.
  • Two page trees. The main scroll (LEFT/RIGHT) is the stock master pages
    then our FX pages in play order FOLD · CRUSH · RING · STEREO · PITCH ·
    TILT    . UP (or DOWN) opens the macro tree: PERFORM · WASH ·
    RADIO · DESTROY · SPACE    . PERFORM is no longer in the main scroll.
  • FUNC + an encoder turn snaps that parameter to 0 % / 100 %.
  • UI pass: full-height sliders, a one-line caption at the bottom row that
    shows the live value while that encoder is moved (20 frames) with the value
    centred on its middle digit; the mode name centred over the title; sliders +
    labelled readouts in the rightmost third. The output meter moved to x 108 /
    113     and is drawn on the CRUSH and FOLD pages.
  • CRUSH: the sample-rate-hold mode SR is renamed REDUX.
  • PITCH gains a G mix (dry/wet) — WOB/SHFT now have a blend like the
    flanger. STEREO: FLAN shows four sliders (SPD, DEP, MIX, FB).
  • Macro cue: a page driven by a macro page draws a framed MACRO box where
    an off page draws OFF.
  • Per-pattern store: Digitone "DGX1" v10 (28 params) + "DGX2" v2;
    Digitakt "DX" v8 (35 params, packed).

Tried and reverted (no shipped change)

Fusing the master passes into one CORE_AUDIO_INSERT callback was bit-correct
once the core's Q1.31 in/out was converted, but on hardware it raised CPU/DSP
load ~15 %, so it was dropped. Write-up in the source repo's
docs/OPTIMIZATION.md §12.3.

Tested

  • All four builds compile clean and imports nothing — Digitone 1.43 / 1.44
    (.run 28889, .bss 19454, 11 sites) and Digitakt 1.53 / 1.54 (.run 25795,
    .bss 11100, 4 sites) — each links as core 4.0 > tonefx 3.5r and patches
    byte-for-byte against its own stock file (the 1.43 main OS is byte-identical
    to 3.5p).
  • Emulator (Digitone dn1): boots, settles, dsp_running=2; all eleven pages
    and both page trees present; the flanger/pitch lines verified independent; the
    per-pattern store round-trips. The OS 1.44 build is hardware-verified
    instead (digiemu cannot settle 1.44). The Digitakt port's emulator suite keeps
    its documented 3.5r gap (its unicorn test still names the pre-3.2b
    digiwave_depth).
  • Hardware: the 3.2 line was stress-tested on two Digitone mk1 units; 3.5r is
    a new build — please report anything you find.

Known issues

  • PAGE can still jump some FX levels (the stock-event store guard does not
    cover every path).
  • PITCH can fire on a note-off from a PHASER trig.
  • SHFT quality: the pitch shifter is deliberately lightweight.
  • PERFORM trig LEDs do not light yet.

The full, current list is in the README's "Known bugs / future fixes".
