]]>Yea that's the way it works! this is what things like genajam try to fix
Ok, thanks again, then I know there is nothing wrong with my genMDM, it's unfortunate though, this should have been an easy bug to fix when development was ongoing.
]]>This is normal. each channel is monophonic so you can only play a note at a time per channel.
Thanks for the reply! Yes, I know that each channel is monophonic but the way it works on my device is kind of "broken", since I need to release the first key BEFORE pressing a second key for normal operation (otherwise the second note will stop when I release the first key and this is not how monophonic mode usually works). This makes it unsuitable for live playing (unless I use a method for polyphonic playing like genajam or the 2xAA editor).
Example (how it works for me now):
I press the C4 key and the note C4 starts (ok)
I then press the D4 key and note D4 starts and C4 stops (ok)
If I now release the C4 key, note D4 stops (NOT ok, D4 should continue playing until I release the D4 key, this is how it normally works on monophonic synths)
I couldn't see a Genajam thread, so posted here. Great work Catskull and Jamatar! Cheers.

]]>So if anyone is keen, here's version 0.1 of my front end of GenMDM, called Genajam
https://github.com/jamatarmusic/genajam
All you need is an Arduino UNO, micro SD card reader, midi output and a LCD keypad shield. I'm using female to male prototype cables to hook everything up at the moment.
Dump a bunch of TFI files on the root of the SD card and you'll be able to select them per channel
It plugs into the MIDI input of the GenMDM and then you can use the USB to send it notes and stuff.
For anyone who's keen! Otherwise, I'll be moving forward with adding full FM parameter controls and working towards a physical prototype in the coming weeks / months.
hey great work! keep it coming!

]]>I'm going to try and design an Arduino based front end for GenMDM.
I also want to add poly support so it will sit between your GenMDM 3.5mm midi input and keyboard / midi device to use it a bit more like a keyboard.
I'll release all the code and schematics once it's all done, give me a couple of months 
I built something similar for my lighting rig so I'm feeling pretty confident it can be done fairly easily.
