In his thread we established that some of the MIDI code for the original Arduinoboy which interfaces with the Max patch is not present in the code for the USB Boy due to the Teensy code using Teensy libraries. It would require porting or rewriting a good bit of code. I'd be up to the task but not for at least a month. But all USB Boys are easy to upgrade firmware on. so there is room to roll out an update in the future

Pretty sure he doesn't know about it. Does the MAX plugin evin work in FL or Renoise? I know it does in Ableton.

Breezed through it, tons of things are clearly redundant. Perhaps try condensing it to one page or two, and forgoing spelling out chords to simply using interval names? Or simply establishing how chord building works based on the root note? Since you say in the letter on the second page that it doesn't require knowledge of music theory, it also doesn't state they should have a sense of pitch. If the latter were true, a condensed one-page guide advocating the use of transposition from the example would be extremely effective.

Not yet, personally, I've tried disassembling the GB Camera ROM and quickly got bored of it. It wouldn't be hard to create an IPS patch for the ROM to kill the check for the camera and dump you into the sequencer instead of the press start screen, but it is outside of my knowhow at the moment.

You can ask kitsch, I have a lot of ideas as to how we could easily improve both the front and back PCB's for music production. Like others have said, arduino/teensy boy integration, easier prosound access, and depending on what we can do in the future with the CPU, traces for individual audio channels (pu1, pu2, wav, noise) would be awesome.

Perhaps we could even see a socketed CPU design?

I ditched my DMGs and Gameboy Pocket AND Gameboy Light in favor of modded GBCs. I prefer them for the size, average battery life with the frontlights, as well as the sound feeling "crisp" in some ways. The lack of bass can be an issue, but a bit of EQing with a mixer goes a long way. In my opinion, they are worth it alone if you use a AGS 001 front light that has minimal scuffs. I have the kitschbent frontlights, and they are usable but not nearly as clear. My opinion is to try out the kitschbent light, and see if you like how it feels and sounds to use the GBC before risking your money on a SP frontlight that might get scratched if you aren't SUPER careful.

Check out my cribsheet for the USB Boy. Operates similarly to the Arduinoboy but over USB protocol. My explanations and enhancements from the info on the Arduinoboy/mGB page is not obvious, but it has info about the parameters you mentioned. Mostly waveform and envelope controls.
