Hi, the MIDI bootloader works fine now. It is very slow (like 70 minutes for an 8 mbyte bank) but it is reliable. To allow fast soundbank switching, will be adding an 8 bit dipswitch with following settings that will be read at boot time : update mode : 1 switch : off \ on reverb : 1 switch : dry ( …

I might be late to the party to ask this, but are you using the full 32MB of that flash chip? If its just 8MB+8MB, you might be able to create a deluxe version of the board in which, instead of connecting WA22 directly to the flash chip you could, instead, use two jumpers (and add pulldown …

some update : I've been comparing my X1 to the yamaha based XR385. My X1 firmware now is quite dry, I had some comments on that. The XR385 sounds much more 'wet' in effects. I will be working on a firmware which is more 'wet', 'fatter' effects, will post some new demo's when it is ready. Maybe I …

Okay, the last X1 board is going to CHiLL72 !! I'm out of X1 prototypes now. Amibay ? I'll check it out (thought it was amiga only). Maybe kickstarter would be a good idea, but it's not available for Belgian projects. Anyone experience with launching a kickstarter campaign ?
