Thank You uXe, looks like I did not dig deep enough. Caught up now.

...last word four months ago was that kitsch is involved, and that there will be something available to buy at some point:

Is this still on the back burner?

WOW! I NEED IT NOW!

!! PMing now!

He said skype but don't believe the hype. It was google chat

Anyhow, I can attest to the awesomeness here. I mean, vrc6!?!?!? It's sick. Wait till n106 happens.

Yeah man - I've been testing back and forth with bleo on skype whenever we're both available, but the project was (obviously) put on the backburner for a bit. What happened was I ended up chasing down that sample problem which required an entire rewrite of the communication routine of both parts. It ended up taking a lot of work and I burned out.

As it stands:
VRC6 is working perfectly (sawtooth table was a little sour, but that's fixed)
Note offsets / channel reassignment work great, controllable a gamepad, 6 note chords are fun (2pulse + triangle + 2 Vpulse + sawtooth)
Samples do work, but it's a bit of a kludge and I haven't tested how it affects performance. Not sure if I'd call it a success yet.

I'll gladly send the current ROM / arduino sketch to anyone who'd like to test it, just PM me.

Don't give up on it.  This is gonna be cool .  It'd probably be less time consuming to get a new arduino and leave the already assembled piece for when this project is finally finished. If only chip musicians could make a living off this stuff, then we wouldn't have to wait so long.   But then, if we could, we'd probably miss the community we have now.

Has there been some progress, Batsly?  I'm not trying to be a pain, just wondering is all.  I totally understand how busy things can get.  You gotta have time to be a human too!  (Sleep, hang out, leisure stuff.)  That's assuming you ARE human, as you are an Addams. 

Man, I'm totally about to give up, dismantle the hardware I built and build another arduinoboy.

Eh? :3

I built the arduino bit for this awhile back, I'm still excited to put it to use! Just need the code!

How are things going?  Any new updates?

Can't wait, dude!  My PowerPak has pretty much been dicking me over lately, not only in private while gaming but also during live shows.  Godspeed!

AAAAAAH!!!! Busy things are busy!

I'm so excited

Aww shucks, man! I had hoped to take synced NES visuals on tour in June.

Either way, I await with bated breath! Thank you for keeping it on your to-do list!

Sorry dude - things have been super busy! All of the source was up there at first but the SVN wasn't working the way I was hoping it would and I ended up trashing it. I have some more stuff to post but I need to handle a bunch of things first!
