digitables 1.3

ADD steps: a table step can now add a note instead of moving the pitch. When the table reaches an ADD step, the note playing keeps its pitch and a new note starts at the note's pitch plus the step's offset, so one trig (or one key in KEYBOARD) can strum a chord.

• In the editor: YES toggles ADD on the selected step. ADD steps are drawn as hollow bars, and the bottom line shows ADD.
• Strum up: 0, +4, +7, +12 with ADD on steps 2-4, loop OFF. Strum down: +12, +7, +4, 0, ADD on steps 2-4. SPD sets the gap between the notes (1 is a tick, about 21 ms at 120 BPM; 1/2 is half that).
• The added notes are copies of the trig's note: same sound, p-locks, velocity and length. They release together with the note that added them, at the end of the trig's length or when the key is let go.
• Projects: the ADD flags use two spare bytes of each table, so projects saved with 1.2 load with no ADD steps, and the project format is unchanged.

Everything from 1.2 is unchanged: the TBL page (TBL, SPD down to MAX), the editor, 16 tables saved with the project, and the Mod Menu entry.

Status: ADD steps have run on a Digitone, and were checked in the emulator for timing, release, the added voices' parameters, the chord in the audio, a loop of ADD steps at MAX speed (no crash or leak), and save and load. Not yet checked: the arpeggiator with tables (on arpeggiator notes, ADD steps add nothing), and restoring the tables at power-up.

Added notes use the Digitone's 8 voices like any note: a trig that already holds a chord strums each of its notes, and a loop over ADD steps keeps stealing voices.

Install

digitables 1.3 needs core-dn1 2.2, attached here unchanged from 1.2 (core-dn1-2.2.elemod, built from elekloader's mods/core-dn1 in #34 and #35). elekloader's apps bundle core-dn1 2.0a, so install the 2.2 core with the mod until a release has it.

In elekloader, choose Digitone_and_Digitone_Keys_OS1.43.syx as the stock firmware, + Install from file... both files, tick digitables, and make sure the core ticked with it is 2.2. The README has the steps, the command line, and how to get back to stock.

digitables 1.2

M8-style pitch tables for the Digitone mk1 (OS 1.43): 16 tables of up to 16 semitone steps, each with a length and a loop point, saved with the project. Each note restarts its sound's table and the clock steps it.

• The TBL page: hold a track key (T1-T4) on its own to open core-dn1's Mod Menu, and pick TABLES; or press AMP until its third page. TBL sets the table (OFF, 1-16) and SPD the speed, from 24 ticks of the clock a step down to 1, then 1/2 ... 1/32 of a tick, then MAX, a step every audio block (1500 a second). Both are sound parameters with p-locks.
• The table editor: hold a track key on the TBL page. Trig keys pick a step; A sets its offset (-48..+48), C the length, D the loop point (or OFF: hold the last step), H the table.
• Saved with the project: SAVE PROJECT and LOAD PROJECT carry the tables, in a part of the project file the stock OS leaves alone, so the project still loads on stock firmware.

Status: the TBL page, the editor, playback and the fast speeds have run on a Digitone (1.1). The Mod Menu (1.2) has been checked in the emulator, along with the release build itself (menu, page, editor, playback). Not yet checked: restoring the tables at power-up, and the arpeggiator or portamento with tables.
