will try this out asap!]]>
{edit} ignore below question I could have just read the thread carefully.... d'oh..
"Just out of interest I assume the modded version only works for non GBC? or can I use my arduinoboy and a GBC with it?"

Nah, from the release notes:
It has been modified to be able to run on non-GBC Gameboys, since Pushpin hangs
when it tries to switch to GBC double speed mode. The display is slightly
glitched on monochrome Gameboy but otherwise it should work fine.
Interesting!

My only idea is to not check the GBC box when flashing the EMS cart. Since the rom is no longer GBC exclusive. It's been forever since I used the actual EMS software to flash my cart though, so who knows.
]]>So you'd send controller data on those CC numbers to change each sample.
Has anyone else tried this with this port? I'm using the nanoloop USB adapter and it's receiving note data just fine, but sending values on those CCs doesn't change the WAV sound. I'll give it a shot with the arduinoboy next.

]]>However, I don't know if I've misread something in the doc but there is no mention on how to specify what the waves will actually be.
actually there is mention! you have 32 MIDI controls, 1 for each sample in the waveform:
As well, you can change the Wave Pattern RAM while it plays. With enough controller tweaking, you can create a sound that morphs between, say, triangle and sine. To change the Wave Pattern RAM during play, use MIDI controller numbers 54 through 85. Each controller scales to a sample in the pattern.
So you'd send controller data on those CC numbers to change each sample. With a DAW it should be fairly straightforward to set up a few presets and/or automation to get good sounds. (Samples on the other hand are a different story and sound like kind of a nightmare to deal with in this situation!)
edit: looks like the range of values is 0-15 per the spec
Wave Pattern RAM:
54 Sample #0. Range 0-15, a 4-bit sample.
55 Sample #1. Range 0-15, a 4-bit sample.
56 Sample #2. Range 0-15, a 4-bit sample.
..
85 Sample #31. Range 0-15, a 4-bit sample.I'm so eager to try this out.
Just imagine a live setup with a keyboard and modwheel assigned to shift through wave patterns *_* endless possibilities!
