So if anyone is keen, here's version 0.1 of my front end of GenMDM, called Genajam big_smile

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 smile 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.

I'm going to try and design an Arduino based front end for GenMDM. The goal is to have an SD card that you can dump TFI files on that you can scroll through. I'm designing it to have 4 knobs for CC control and an LCD screen and buttons for navigating through the settings / presets.

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 wink

I built something similar for my lighting rig so I'm feeling pretty confident it can be done fairly easily.
