I mean a simple sleeve with some silicone rubber buttons embedded that create touch events, without any electronics. I have tried with a button pad from a pocket calculator, which did not work immediately. But if you connect the conductive ball to some bigger inductor (such as your finger), it works fine.

I have tried left/right for slower/faster and it doesn't work well. Maybe an exponential resolution so that the change is very small when the movement is near the origin.

I wonder if there is a gamepad sleeve for smartphone that has game boy like buttons on the bottom and the typical square window on top, so that it resembles the shape of a gb pocket. With a compatible app running, you can hold and play it vertically like a game boy, otherwise it just shows the upper half of the lock screen.

With bipolar values it would be very hard if not impossible to set them to zero.

Maybe it would be best to have no instrument at all, like in the GB versions. Just channels with fixed synth types and per-step parameters.

Hi Oliver,
- be able to change parameter of each step fully, today we can increase OR decrease value per step but not both and it is really different than putting a completely different parameter set per step, so today for me each step sound similar because of it, I can do a bit of parameter lock, but not fully use it ;

I don't quite understand this one. You want to increase and decrease at the same time?

To check the adaptor's and the software's functionality, please select the MIDI mode tab and set it to either SYNC or MIDI. It should immediately confirm with "SYNC (or MIDI) mode OK". If it remains "..." instead, something is wrong with the adaptor and/or the MIDI system. If that's the case, please try unplugging the adaptor, re-starting chrome and re-starting the computer.

If setting the MIDI mode works, the adaptor/webapp communication is OK. If the update still doesn't work, there is probably something wrong with the cable connection. It may be plugged in the wrong way (see image in the webapp for correct orientation), be the wrong type (only "8bit" / gb pocket/color compatible cables work, GBA cable does not) or be broken.

in which way is the web app buggy and unresponsive? what happens?

if you don't run other MIDI software (including the command line tool and other instances of the web app in other windows/tabs) at the same time, it should be fast and responsive.

detuning the square waves gives nice pseudo-spatial effects.

VIN is only one channel. the 3 channels of nl mono are generated and mixed on the cart and go thru VIN. the gb sounds are not used. so you could only pan the entire mix, which would be pointless, except for the sync scenario where one channel is used for sync pulses.

that's because of the bizarre half sync scheme that korg introduced with the volcas and that has been adopted by TE, too with the POs. they send sync pulses only every second step so that the slave has to count tempo and interpolate the missing steps. nanoloop supports this only as master.

please ask korg. noone else seems to know the point of 1/8 sync.

yes, the actual gui has only s, c and n.
as the name implies, it's mono, same signal on both channels. you can choose to play it on one channel and use the other for sync pulses.

with resonance control not yet implemented, it almost automatically produces wicked minimal acid.

After some further testing, I still don't understand why it doesn't work with GB Pocket. I have tried some extra 1000 uF on all four electrolytic capacitors, but without any effect, except that noise gets worse. 100 uF added to what seems to be the CPU power supply cap (C12) didn't change anything either.

I have isolated and grabbed the signal from the CPU, but it's just as bad as post-amp. A low-pass with 47 nF to ground pre-amp reduces the high frequency, but of course also filters the audio signal. So it's not the amp, the noise seems to come right out of the CPU.

I still still hope that I just have to put an extra capacitor somewhere to get the same noise-filter as on GB Color.

Could it have to do with the boost converter? If you know why GB Pocket is different, please let me know. Thank you.

i see. i have never used a monomachine, maybe i should.

thank you for the complimentary
smile
